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 19th century classical compositions, 50s jazz to 90s experimental minimalism, 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 currently scoring ongoing film, commercial and multimedia projects amid the release his new solo album, Mirror Music—his debut for the historical Deutsche Grammophon label. His latest feature score for Things Will Be Different (XYZ/Rustic) recently premiered at SXSW 2024.
