Artist picture
Microkill is an experimental music and visual arts group largely shrouded in mystery and myth.
Microkill is a virtual group; it has no members, exept the ones mentioned in the past, fictitious members - and the music is recorded at home (or wherever) with music software. The recorded are noises, sounds, music, soundscapes, sonic artifacts, rhythms, and other (processed) sounds, such as loops, pads, layerings, etc. As composers we use layers of sound. We do not use instruments, only soundbites (on occasion we record an experimental instrument, voices or an actual instrument, but the recordings are what matters, not the instruments). Microkill color their compositions with bluesy tunes of harmony and melody, swinging climaxes, and stomping rhythms, a la Milhaud, but without the jazz, which cannot be considered as music as it is foul. Microkill uses an anarchic, nonconformist way of composing. It's like making collages (montages) with sound. Sounds, noises, voices - everything you can hear - is mixed using audio software. Microkill has amassed about 150 Gb of sounds (musical instruments, soundscapes, loops, tones, voices, recordings, etc.) and they use this soundlibrary to compose their musical pieces. Their techniques are those of music producers (Microkill are not musicians) that use field recordings, electronica, drones, noises, etc. and compose out of those ingedients their 'music'. Sometimes they improvise sometimes they use theory-based composition. We do not compose with a direction, or an idea. There is no construction, no form. We start with a sound, any sound and work towards a composition, improvising as we go. We call this process 'Experimentalism'. We use the digital computer as an instrument foreseen by Schaeffer: 'capable not only of replacing all existing instruments, but every conceivable instrument, musical or not'.

Story behind the song
The modern approach is based on competition - on making art understandable, popular, exoteric. It is bound to end in an academy. -Marcel D. Ft. Erratum-Musical fragments and Marcel D and sisters on the mike.
