Real Name:
Anthony Michelides
Profile:
24 July 1958 - 4 January 2011
Mick Karn was an all round artist. He met Japan's members in an art school where he was student.
Inside and outside Japan, he developed an original crawling bass sound instanly recognizable played on fretless basses. He also played clarinet and saxophone.
After Japan he went in on experimentations, between ambient music and jazz in collaboration with great musicians and Japan members.
His first solo album and the Dalis Car collaboration give the best idea of his style on bass.

Been a fan of Japan and Mick Karn since the mid '80's. So very saddened to hear of his passing. He was an enigmatic and creative artist and played the bass like no other. He will be greatly missed. RIP Mick, you will not be forgotten.

Just discovered his works today, and was very bummed (sad) that he passed away just 6 days ago.
It's a shame he didn't make enough money out of his music. If someone deserved it, it was Mick. Humble, friendly and always postive, even though he has been through a lot of tough times. Still, he was pretty much loved by everyone he has ever worked with.
If I only had ten percent of his talent... and his humanity.
