ABOUT MICHAEL

A man with black curly hair and glasses posing against a blue background, wearing a plaid shirt.

Michael is a Melbourne/Naarm-based composer and recording engineer. He’s experienced in working with local artists, acting as a head of department for film sound and audio production.

His portfolio spans a range of genres and formats, and has led him to work with the Eltham Concert Band, as well as artists such as Winnie Lane and RADAR. In 2025 he contributed work on his first two feature films (Interloper and an as yet untitled project). He has written music under the name Dolly Partition Commission.

Outside of music, Michael is driven by a commitment to looking after animals and the environment. Any collaborations and projects that he is involved with will also benefit from this ethos.

Cues

From the leafy south-easty of Melbourne, Michael grew up listening to shoegaze and indie rock. After years of dedicated study in audio production he transitioned to writing music for media. His music is inspired by the works of John Powell and John Williams, as well as Elliott Smith, Nils Frahm and Hildur Guðnadóttir.

In his spare time he loves hanging out with his dog Ginny, his cat Sumi, vegan cooking, and having a rage blackout while playing Elden Ring.
