Michael Trommer is a Toronto based producer and visual artist who has recorded for such top electronic music labels as Transmat, Wave, Truffle, Stasisfield, Interchill, Monocromatica, Thinner and Stratagem. He records under his own name, as well as aliases such as 'sans soleil’, ‘minidisco’, 'Hydraulic’,and 'Manitou2'.
Broad-minded in his approach to electronic music, Michael also creates gallery-based audio installation work. 2005 saw him creating a site-specific sound installation for Australia’s ‘Liquid Architecture’ exhibition. Another of his recent works was a net-based audio-manipulation project which was part of the ‘from 0 to 1 and back again’ exhibition at Kunsthalle Schirn in Frankfurt; this became the subject of many radio specials on both Deutsche Welle and Hessischer Rundfunk. In 2000, his work was nominated for the Prix Italia for experimental music. His field-recording based material has been featured on London’s Resonance FM, www.vagueterrain.net, www.insine.net, www.monocromatica.com, and www.stasisfield.com. A site-specific field-recording based installation is being exhibited in New York state’s upper Catskill forest (http://www.restlessculture.net/deepwoods ) from the end of May.
As a live show, sans soleil was featured at the 2003 Movement Festival (a.k.a.DEMF) in support of Michael's full-length album on Detroit's legendary Transmat label. 2007 saw him performing alongside Frank Bretschneider and Olaf Bender of Berlin’s Raster-Noton label, as well as headlining Toronto’s ‘inthemix’ festival (with VJ Nokami) and closing the ‘Electric Eclectics’ festival of experimental and improvised music. Michael also performs regularly as part of the live electronic improvisation collective ‘i/o’ (http://interaccess.org/studio/iomedia.php).
Nominated as one of eye magazine’s ’10 talents to watch for 2006’, the coming
year promises to be busy. Expect more installation work from Michael in 2008:
a piece based on Mies van der Rohe’s Toronto Dominion Centre will be presented
at the State Gallery in St. Petersburg, Russia in the autumn; in addition, a site-specific collaboration with video artist Arnold von Wedemeyer is planned for downtown Berlin later in the year.
