Michael Garrison

Based in Bend, Oregon, Michael Garrison worked on the periphery of cosmic electronic music, releasing eleven albums between 1979 and 1998 on his own Windspell imprint. His debut LP, “In The Regions Of Sunreturn”, was licensed for release in Europe, where his reputation grew. The follow-up album, “Prisms”, is now regarded as a classic in the pantheon of post-kosmische musik. Drawing comparison with the finest work of Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze and Jean-Michel Jarre, Michael’s music received a warm welcome in Central Europe, a world away from his Oregonian home. Over the course of his career, Michael Garrison morphed and melded analogue and digital technology on a succession of spaced-out, ever-evolving recordings. This progress came to a tragic end with his early death in 2004, aged only 47.
