Michaela Melián grew up the classical way, playing in orchestras from a young age. During art college she was asked to found Freiwillige Selbstkontrolle with fellow art fanzine contributors, and she immediately swapped her cello for the bass guitar. F.S.K. have always been the punk band's punk band, in spirit if not in style, with an against-the-grain ethos that means they're likely to change shape just when you think you have a grip on them. Never one to respect convention, let alone chronology, Michaela sat down at the 2005 Red Bull Music Academy in Seattle to discusses her art installations, albums, and her musical journey, stopping along the way to take in inspiring sceneries.
