Michael Law

About

Michael Law emerged from the liminal shadows of the United States, crafting a subterranean narrative through the medium of cassette tapes. His sonic journey, spanning from 1958 to 1984, is etched in the magnetic strips released through the Synfinity label. Law's work whispers a delicate fusion of ambient textures and experimental rhythms, where each release is a ritualistic exploration of cultural commentary and poetic lyricism. Albums like "Whose Dwelling Is The Light Of Setting Suns" (1983) unravel ambient textures that seem to float in a glacial expanse, while "Dance of Time" (1983) and "Rumours Of War" (1982) reveal his adeptness at weaving together the echoes of new jack swing and hip hop into his soundscapes. Law's oeuvre resides in a subterranean world, a place where the fusion of genres unfolds with a measured grace. His collaboration with Synfinity throughout his career speaks to a deep-seated commitment to sonic evolution, presenting a body of work that remains both enigmatic and influential. Despite the disbanding of his project in 1984, the cavernous echoes of his compositions continue to resonate with an audience that appreciates the bottomless depths of ambient sound.
