He is particularly known for composing the music to Ron Fricke’s 70mm non-verbal films Chronos, Sacred Site, Baraka and Samsara.

Sandia Soundcapes co-founder Chris Meyer will lead a discussion with Michael at the start of the evening about his work, history, and approach to creating his uniquely lush, immersive music.
