MIKHAIL - MORPHICA (3CD)

"MORPHICA follows Mikhail Karikis's enthusiastically received debut album Orphica (2007) in an unprecedented genre-bending interdisciplinary feast. MORPHICA re-imagines the notion of the music 'remix' and expands to the realms of visual art and creative writing. Described by Mikhail as a project about "finding a common cause in uncommon ground", MORPHICA explores the theme of transformation and politics of difference. Having as its starting point the morphing of Mikhail's debut album, MORPHICA features a triple album with studio and live concert recordings of collaborations with over 20 international musicians ranging from pioneering DJs to acclaimed early-music choirs, contemporary composers and performers:" (label info) Feat. Kasper T.Toeplitz, David Shea, Horatio Radulescu, Ryoi Ikeda, Gerard Hourbette, Fausto Romitelli, Jean-Paul Dessy and many more."
