In Discussion

Leading the discussion was Mikhail Karikis, whose work spans musical and artistic worlds - he composes, performs, was selected by Bjork for her 'Army of Me' album, and has recently released a new album.

Karikis was grilled on his working methods, his self-labelling and his cultural background.
