Playful, lyrical, and exploratory, Michelle Moeller weaves piano, custom effects, and computer synthesis into intricate electroacoustic systems that define the enchanting compositions on Late Morning. Her musical practice is ever evolving, guided by restless curiosity and natural resistance to a singular approach. With one foot firmly planted in composition and the other in improvisation, Late Morning showcases a delicate balance between structure and spontaneity.

“Titled as an affectionate homage to slow movers and late bloomers,” shares Moeller, “Late Morning is a culmination of years spent integrating disparate aspects of my musical practice: an attraction to otherworldly digital sound with an enduring melodic sensibility rooted in my classical piano training.”
