Michael Donoghue is a Rotherham born, Jersey based independent electronic artist, composing left-field electronica which draws in influences from several genres, including ambient electro, downtempo, techno, and IDM. 
 
Michael started to compose in 2017, releasing several singles and EP's under the pseudonym of Cosmosapien. In the summer of 2020, Michael stepped out from the shadows of his alter ego, and started releasing music under his own name. Since then he's released several singles and EP's, three solo albums, and a collaboration LP with fellow unsigned artist Pulses. In the process Michael has found himself on the radar of several independent radio shows, blogs, reviewers, and playlist curators. 
 
Several of Michael's tracks have been supported by BBC Music Introducing in the Channel Islands, and have also featured on many independent radio shows including Trust The Doc Radio, Supernova, In The Moog, and many more. He's made the coveted Fresh On The Net 'Fresh Faves' on several occasions, and in January 2022 received his first national radio play with the ambient track 'Overview Effect' making a chill-out special on Jaguar's BBC Introducing Dance Show on Radio 1.

Michael has released his most recent projects through the independent label Irregular Patterns, including his latest LP 'Time Machine'.

The music is mostly on the YouTube channel - occasionally it has found its way onto BBC Radio 6 Music, BBC Radio Wales, BBC Orbit, BBC Radio  Nottingham, BBC Radio Derby & BBC Radio Leicester

A small amount of chaos is now on Twitter  (although the rancid horror of that place under the repellent owner will force a relocation, with BlueSky looking the most likely...)

We got thrown off TikTok because the 52 second runtime of our track Big Band Theory was quite correctly perceived as being of 'prog-rock dinosaur proportions'; chastened by this, we are now here instead.
