2007 debut album by London-based artist and musician, Mikhail Karikis. After having had his music released alongside sound artists and on a compilation by Pop experimentalist Björk to much critical acclaim, Mikhail's work comes highly-anticipated. Orphica takes the listener on a thrilling sonic adventure. Quartermass. 2007. This debut album from Londoner Mikhail Karikis mixes avant-garde classical instrumentation with electronics and pours a dose of expressive vocals on top. The Bjork influence here is on the sleeve, as the first track was previously released on a compilation of remixes inspired by ARMY OF ME. Unconventional sounds such as creaking insects and whistling bats float amidst static and feedback, making ORPHICA both pastoral and post modern--a melding of Greek folk, where ORPHICA gets its name, and electronic pop. Recording information: Corfu; Ionian Sea, Greece; London, England; Orpheus' Cave, Mount Olympus, Greece.
