CHyberNation Tribute - Press Release (2009)

CHyberNation, the tribute to KRISMA from 23 international indie artists, is here!

Krisma (formerly Chrisma) was created in 1976 by Maurizio Arcieri, former member of beat band NEW DADA, who had also published a couple of 7” under his own name.
CHyberNation TributeIn 1976, after the start of an artistic collaboration with his wife Christina Moser, Maurizio asked PolyGram to change the name on his contract from Maurizio to Chrisma.
The duo debuted with two 7” (Amore and U), that we could classify in the sexy sound tradition, very alive at that time.
With these two records Chrisma began a collaboration with Nico Papathanassiou (Vangelis’ brother) resulting in Chinese Restaurant, LP recorded in London, where punk was starting to spread.
After Chinese Restaurant the same team worked on another album (Hibernation). After its release, the band would change its name to Krisma, choosing to play the same innovative and sophisticated electronic music they are still recording today.
Many bands have declared Krisma their models and this is why we decided to build this well-deserved tribute.
