Mick Karn (1958–2011) was a musician and composer known particularly for his fretless bass playing with Japan. His instrumental work also included saxophone and woodwinds, and his bass became a distinctive feature of the band’s later recordings, including Tin Drum.
His solo releases included Titles and Dreams of Reason Produce Monsters. With former Bauhaus singer Peter Murphy, he formed Dalis Car and recorded The Waking Hour in 1984. He also contributed to recordings by Gary Numan, Kate Bush and Joan Armatrading.
