| Description: |
Michael Palace composes music under the name horchata. His music focuses on four major elements: complex beat music, dark ambient soundscapes, programmed compositional glitch music, and field recordings. Often a composition will include several of these elements. Palace works as a research scientist at the University of New Hampshire's Complex System Research Center. His work there focuses on necromass or dead wood in Amazonia. During his numerous field visits to the rainforest, he has recorded sounds using various microphones and minidisk recorders. Finally, video and images have begun to feature more in Palace's live performances, using video that was shot in Amazonia and generated by computer programs. |
