Mick Karn, was an English-Cypriot musician and songwriter who rose to fame as the bassist for the art rock/new wave band Japan. His distinctive fretless bass guitar sound and melodic playing style were a trademark of the band's sound. After Japan split in 1982, Karn continued to work on solo projects and recorded with Kate Bush, Gary Numan, Midge Ure and Joan Armatrading.
Karn briefly reunited with other members of Japan in 1991 for the one-off project Rain Tree Crow.
Tributes have been left on Karn's website, with one fan saluting his dexterity with the bass.
"No one will ever touch him on the fretless," wrote 'ngriff' on Wednesday. "He shaped the way that instrument is played like no other."
BBC presenter Jeremy Vine has also remembered the musician's "sensual and stylish" playing.
