The Last of the Astrochimps (Mix 2)

Michael Garofalo is an electro-acoustic musician and documentary radio producer. 

Using analog synthesizers, lamellophones, field recordings, and found sounds he crafts pieces that reside in a sonic territory between incidental music for radio/television and eccentric synthpop. 

He was a founding member of the improvising trio Latitude/Longitude (active 2004-2010). Today, he performs solo and with like-minded artists. 

Recent collaborations include the experimental radio piece, "In Determining John Cage" (2012), with Shonni Enelow and Josh Hoglund, and an outdoor installation-performance at Groundswell (2014), "Black Mirror Picnic," with Laura Ortman and Bryan Zimmerman. 

Michael's documentary radio work can be heard nationally on public radio as part of the long-running StoryCorps series.

He is a transmission artist with the nonprofit arts organization Wave Farm/free103point9.
