Micro Audio Waves are a portuguese band. Micro Audio Waves, originally a duoformed by Flak (the guitar player from Rádio Macau) and C. Morgado (electronic instruments) formed in 2000, and began by developing compositions of a minimal and experimental orientation, the result of which can be heard in their first album "Micro Audio Waves" (2002).

With the addition of Claudia Efe (vocals), the project took on new outlines. The more purist electronica gave way to more structurally classical electro-acoustic compositions, without betraying the experimental component. Upon release of "No Waves" in 2004, Micro Audio Waves were featured as a Peel Session by the late John Peel at BBC Radio One [ [http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/johnpeel/sessions/2000s/2004/Jun17microaudiowaves/ BBC - Radio 1 - Keeping It Peel - 17/06/2004 Micro Audio Waves ] ] , and they won the Qwartz Electronic Music Awards in Paris (best album & best videoclip) [ [http://www.qwartz.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=248&Itemid=92 Qwartz Electronic Music Awards - QWARTZ 4 - LAUREATS ] ] . Its main hit was the song Fully Connected, in which the assembling instructions from some electronic apparatus are sung in a very sexy way by Claudia Efe.

Their latest album "Odd Size Baggage" was released in April 2007., One of its songs, "Long Tongue" won the Qwartz Electronic Music Awards in 2008 for best song [ [http://www.qwartz.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogcategory&id=1&Itemid=91&limit=15&limitstart=15] ] [ [http://bz-dev.aeiou.pt/gen.pl?p=stories&op=view&fokey=bz.stories/25982 Blitz-Micro Audio Waves vencem Quartz] ] .
