Artist description
MICA is Jens (29) and Michael Dommes (35).
The two brothers grew up in Hamburg, Germany.
Since they moved apart in different cities (Hannover - Hamburg) and now in
different countries (Hannover, Germany - London, UK) they keep up their long
distance music relationship via weekend trips, telephone and internet.
Their music is a mixture of 70ies funk and Easy Listening à la "Air"
One recognizes the charme of old seventies (b-) movies and quotations
reaching from Gorgio Moroder, Isaac Hayes to funky arrangements a la
Christian Bruhn ("Captain Future" soundtrack). All in all a unique
experience for the audience.
The two brothers love instruments and therefore most of the instruments are
played by themselves or by friends (vocals and flute). Their aim is to use
as less samples and loops as needed.
Within the last two years MICA had several releases on compilations in
germany and japan, they are part of the DVD "The Matrix - Revisited" and
just now released their own album Mica "jetsetmusic" in Germany.There is
also the possibility to get your own CD in U.S.& Canada over e.g.
