Michael Vincent Waller is a New York City based composer and visual artist, studying composition and performance with La Monte Young and Marian Zazeela. This has provided a beautiful inspiration to a focus on modal, drone, and microtonal means. The deep intrinsic experience of involving overtones is the essence of his canvas of acousmatique and spectral composition. Michael endorses the phenomenologist approach to sound as his “central attitude” and manual for being.
His music has been performed by Conrad Harris, Sean G. Meehan, Tom Chiu, Matthew Welch, David Watson, St. Luke's Trombone Quartet, Project SiS, Cadillac Moon Ensemble, Alex Waterman, Ha-Yang Kim, Daniel Panner, Yvonne Troxler, Gregor Kitzis, Sabir Mateen, Christine Bard, Erica Dicker, MOYTL Chamber Ensemble, Michael Seltzer, Benjamin Herrington, Tucker Dulin and Andrew Lafkas – performing ensemble works at venues ISSUE Project Room, Diapason Sound Gallery, Tenri Cultural Institute, Paris London West Nile, Glasslands, and The Living Theatre.
He has performed on bills with Phill Niblock, Elliott Sharp, David First, Michael J. Schumacher,
Elizabeth Hoffman, and many more in the NewIdeas MusicSeries, an avant-garde program curated by Waller.
