BIOGRAPHY
Mika was born in San Francisco California in 1955, he ws raised in
California and Nevada, has lived in Amsterdam and Helsinki. While living
just outside of a small desert town in Nevada, he began his sound
explorations: first playing with his grandfather’s shortwave radios and,
then, later on, in his early teens, playing a number of home made
instruments, a sitar, and experimenting with prepared
electric guitar using gum-wrappers played with a violin bow and an
electric razor.
From these early experiments Mika’s
improvisational/compositional reach was extended in the early to
mid-1970s employing a modular synthesizer and tape loop echo machines
in live electronic treatment of acoustic instruments (soprano saxophone,
flute, voice, prepared fender-rhodes piano, and acoustic guitar
primarily.)
