MIKRONESIA is a philadelphia based electronic
musician, composer and producer. From 2000-2004 he was the producer
/ keyboardist and band-leader for Robots in Disguise. Robots was founded
in late 2000 as a live based outfit that performed experimental hip-hop,
dub, drum & bass and other forms of live electronic music. Over
the years the band consisted of Mikronesia on synths, piano and samplers.
Plunkit on bass and vocals. Hutnons and DJ Skipmode on turntables.
A revolving crew of live drummers including Jimmy Coleman (aka N'Dugu),
Tony Catastrophe and Litt.
In the studio and on stage, the Robots had team of various producers,
beatmakers and live sound tweakers like john brown (aka Nomad) and
Whiplash on machinery so wickedly advanced that I dare not speak its
name here. Also a mainstay of Robots' shows were a wide array of vocalists
and MCs including, but not limited to, The Mighty Flipside, Elad and
Jawnzap 7.
Robots live shows were truly a spectacle, with live sequenced videos,
fashion and art shows, costumed compatriots and other non-conventional
concert fare to stimulate the senses.
The Robots were lucky to play all over Philadelphia at places like
the Troc and the TLA as well as throwing their own unique performances
in top secret locales throughout the countryside.
In 2004 Robots are on hiatus. Plunkit is working
with members of Z, The Ally and Astrolyte on a new dark theatrical
project. N'dugu is continuing work with his funk/soul outfit, Aquasession.
Skipmode is still rocking the wheels of steel on a daily basis throughout
Philadelphia. You can catch him solo or with his DJ crew, Ill Vibe
Collective all over the city and all week long check your local
listings for more details. Hutnons is also dabbling in different
projects both in Philly and out in LA.
Mikronesia is continuing his solo ambient / electro-acoustic type
of computer based music that he started in 2003.
Currently he is working on new Mikronesia ambient tracks for a forth
coming EP. He is also doing production work with Aquasession, Silent
Assassins,.dmops. and some other crews. as well as working and rehearsing
with Gemini Wolf.
the tiny sounds of mikronesia are the result of volcanic activity
millions of years ago. Some are the tips of huge underwater mountains,
some of the atolls are the rims of sunken volcano craters which
peak above the water surrounding serene lagoons, and some are combinations
of both.
the mountains of noise (small and large) have dramatic cliff faces
which, rise straight from the sea. they are covered in tropical
jungle and blessed with plenty of rainfall. the beautiful low coral
atolls encircle blue-green lagoons. mikronesia is a pleasant mix
of traditional and the new.
the memory exhibition did not prevent or has failed to fully account
for banned canned lions. worm draws clients like untreated project
plan. while helping you develop better balance and coordination,
and release stress, Horsopus knows. horsopus knows.
whether you hoist free weights or hit the cybex, lifting is the
gold standard when it comes to getting buff. besides reshaping your
body, lifting makes you stronger and helps you feel more powerful
and energetic. the response to the second situation is a full front-burner
preparation of its awesome air-, land-, sea- and space-based military
machine for another bloody assault, followed by occupation and “reconstruction.”
