http://mk9.orgMK9, is the current project of Michael Nine, it began in the latter half of 2001.
Proceeding the end of the controversial and confrontational performances as the renowned project Death Squad,
MK9 brings the initiation of a different level of psychological intrusion.
Through video projection and audio constructions and performance,
MK9 continues to investigate the varying aspects of extreme emotional states
interrelated with the human condition and psyche.
Under the appellation Death Squad, Michael Nine has performed extensively across the globe.
In 1992 he founded Spastik Kommunikations, a record label dedicated to documenting and releasing works from
Death Squad and parallel projects. With the inception of his new project a new record label evolved, “Neural Operations”.
Which became more suited to the current activities, performances and recordings.
Since 1992, Michael Nine has released and produced over 50 solo, compilation, audio and video works
which have been distributed internationally. Starting in 1995 he began touring and has performed nearly 300 shows around the world.
The manipulated and presented video, sound and performance
continually address issues and perspectives dealing with
humanity’s ever changing state of psychology and perception of society.
