Occasionally, during an object's journey across the mortal spectrum, it is impacted by a singular, fateful event responsible for it's absolute and complete transformation.

Much like Dr. Bruce Banner's detonation of an experimental gamma weapon of his own design, or the sting that Peter Parker suffered at the chelicerae of a radioactive arachnid, 0CO's existence was to be forever altered the moment he connected a drum computer and synthesizer via MIDI and pressed "Play".

The seemingly random cacophony of synthesized eructations that ensued has since compelled 0CO to dedicate countless resources in the pursuit of a sonic landscape that evokes the swan song of a robot in malfunction.

With such behavior condemned by a society he is soon outcast from, refuge can only be found among nocturnal subterraneans that thrive on low-frequency, high-decibel audio emissions while immersed in potentially seizure-inducing stroboscopics. Safety at last. 

0CO is a loyal yet eccentric student of the sonic manifesto co-authored by Prototype 909, Chris Barbosa and Maurizio Cavalieri while on holiday between the West Coast of Holland and Detroit.

Much to the bewilderment of gyrating spectators, 0CO's tools appear to be from a lost era. But despite the snake pits of insulated copper, vast assortment of awkward power adaptors and sheer tonnage of requisite equipment, 0CO's penchant for haptic intercourse with his electronic munitions results in a decisive victory of immediacy vs. convenience.

Mikro Orchestra is an experimental sound - visual project from Poland, basing on the use of hand-held game consoles as a music instrument. Main assumption of project's authors is to create new sound space on the base of tones generated live from hand-held game consoles during a highly intensive performance consisting of massive explosion of visuals.

The aim of the Mikro Orchestra is to create irony in the electronic music scene with low tech hardware and relatively simple software in a world dominated by ever more advanced digital music processing and creation technologies. A crucial decision since the very conception of this digital music project was the creation of a unique brand of music by relying solely on game consoles as musical instruments.

Group is active since 2001, currently with four players: Jaroslaw Kujda, Agnieszka Kujda, Mariusz Jura and Boguslaw Krawczuk..

In 2006 orchestra has changed the name from "gameboyzz orchestra project" to Mikro Orchestra.

The Mikro Orchestra has performed at a number of venues including:
Ars Electronica Festival, Linz; Transmediale, Berlin; Club transmediale, Berlin; WRO Media Art Biennale, Wroclaw; Read_Me festival, Moscow; Piemonte Share Festival, Torino/Italy; FESTA ELETTRONICA, Rome; experimentaclub, Madrid; Festival Emergences, Paris; ENTERmultimediale festival, Prague; STEIM, Amsterdam; Warsaw Electronic Festival; Microscopesession, Festspielhaus Hellerau, Dresden; Social Hacking, Plymouth and more.
