Klinik (Marc Verhaeghen)

Klinik is the primary musical project of Belgian artist Marc Verhaeghen, continuing his exploration of dark electronic music following the departure of Dirk Ivens, the other half of the original The Klinik, around 1990-1991. Ivens went on to focus on his own project, Dive. Verhaeghen has continued Klinik as a solo endeavor and with various collaborators over the years, including Mark Burghgraeve and Thorsten Stroht in 1995, Stefan Mertes and Tom Claes from 1996 to 1998, and Nickanor in 2002.
