Nathan Michel is a composer, multi-instrumentalist, and producer making quirky, adventurous music that is as comfortingly familiar as it is disarmingly strange. His previous two albums for Tigerbeat6 Records—abc def (2002) and Dear Bicycle (2003) combine instruments with lo-fi electronics, while his newest record, The Beast (out on the german sonig label in April), offers colorful, organic instrumental textures, lush harmonies, and skillful song-writing with only a touch of electronics.
Currently a Ph.D. composition fellow at Princeton University, Nathan Michel has studied music at Bowdoin College, Yale University, and in Amsterdam with Louis Andriessen.
