<p>Micah Atwell mixes nostalgic, brooding, ambient soundscapes with edgy, organic rock influence to define a new dimension of electronic guitar. His unique blend of emotive minimalist complexity is constantly making new impressions with listeners from all backgrounds and preferences.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />Raised between bustling southern California and rural, spacious Kansas, Micah developed a dichotomous affinity for time and rhythm. At age 16, he began teaching himself guitar and spent his formative years writing blues-based hard rock instrumentals. Over time, he shifted his evolving sound and style towards the more experimental electronic and ambient genres. This has allowed him to tap into a much greater list of influences, technical experience, and creative freedom. <br /><br />Micah produced and self-released his 2008 debut album, Temple of Unmanifest Dreams, an emotionally charged and meditative ambient/electronic guitar odyssey geared for audiences of such popular radio programs as the nationally syndicated Hearts of Space and similar regional broadcasts. This haunting, meditative compilation is an astounding testament to what a guitar can convey, and it continues to receive sweeping reviews at every turn. <br /><br />He also has a growing interest in the production music industry and Internet music collaborations. Micah has scored music for video and animation and is active with artists in the US and UK, co-writing and co-producing some very eclectic compositions. <br /><br />Micah Atwell has received numerous positive critiques from legendary guitarist George Lynch and in 2008 secured a Top 40 ranking in the industry-sponsored international Guitar Idol competition. <br /><br />Micah uses Warmoth and Dean guitars, Line6 processors, and Yamaha keyboards. <br /><br />You can read more about Micah Atwell, his gear, download and purchase music, and much more at his official website, <a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3Lm1pY2FoYXR3ZWxsLmNvbQ==">MicahAtwell.com</a>, or view his press kit at <a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LmFpcnBsYXlkaXJlY3QuY29tL01pY2FoQXR3ZWxs">AirplayDirect.com/MicahAtwell</a>.</p> <hr /><p>Micah Atwell&rsquo;s new album, Temple of Unmanifest Dreams, is on sale now at <a href="http://cdbaby.com/cd/micahatwell">CDBaby.com</a> (CD/MP3), <a href="http://kunaki.com/msales.asp?PublisherId=114938">Kunaki.com</a> (CD) and <a href="http://www.soundclick.com/Store/byArtist.cfm?bandID=819502">SoundClick.com</a> (MP3).
