About michaelgarfield
We are barrelling headfirst towards a singularity when loneliness is revealed as an mystifying sham and we realize that the present is its own purpose. In the meantime, I rush ahead of myself as usual, and return with tales of wonder: an ever-growing synthesis of electronic and acoustic music, left and right hemispheres, the scientific method and contemplation, self and other, nouns and verbs, work and play. I improvise loops and burn percussive tapping riffs, bang beats on the body of my guitar, then sneak up and surprise with soul and tenderness. This music is a prayer to a grateful embrace; an aquarium for the strange creatures I find in my head; a call to listen more intently to our humming world when the stereo shuts off; a passionate testament to both the sacred and the profane, to searching sorrow and the bliss of union. It's a map of an unexplored continent: an attempt to describe the ineffable, succeeding in its failure like all acts of expression. It's sleek, dynamic music; but it seeps into you too, insinuating itself like wind into your crevices and shaping new things there. Above all, it�s a reminder of our nourishing commonality � the processes that destroy and rebuild us in this moment, and this moment, and this�
I have a 5-song EP and some live recordings available, and more on the way. If you'd like a copy, drop me a line here, or at my email address: michaelgarfield@gmail.com
