Michael Gunson
Artist and composer
A leading voice in contemporary downtempo, trip-hop, and leftfield electronic music. Known for a production style that explores "00s nostalgia" through lush textures and emotive sampling, Gunson has established a global presence through high-profile residencies on NTS Radio and releases on influential labels like Step Ball Chain. His multidisciplinary approach extends to film scoring, large-scale audiovisual installations, and community-led music workshops.
Defined by a meticulous approach to the composition, production, art direction and presentation of his work, every release encapsulates Michael’s idiosyncratic vision. It is a colourful world that speaks to the exquisite corpse ‘feed’ experience of life, synthesising a mosaic of disparate influences presented by the online world.
He performs and exhibits at spaces such Museum Boola Bardip, Miscellania, Soma Fest, Freedom Time and Songs for Freedom among others.
