Michael A. Muller is a composer and producer based in Los Angeles best known for his near-twenty year career as co-founder and multi-instrumentalist for the ensemble Balmorhea. With influences ranging from 50s jazz to 90s experimental minimalism to 19th century classical compositions, Muller's music embodies a dynamic range of warm nostalgia, ethereal dream states and the spartan contemporary.
Through his work as a film composer, he endeavors to create unique worlds of sound that seamlessly layer into picture-building on a film's capacity to evoke distinctive energy and emotion beyond language. Muller's work is wholly experiential; evading trope as a rule and existing in a space between the darkly occluded and the atmospherically spacious.
Working from his Elyria Sound studio, Muller is signed-on to ongoing film, commercial and multimedia projects amid the release his 2024 solo album, Mirror Music-his debut for the historical Deutsche Grammophon label.
