Subtle-yet-poignant pieces comprise Mirror Music, Muller's new release on the storied Deutsche Grammophon label. With each track, Muller’s experimental compositions—performed on Mellotron, Oberheim, and Rhodes—are expanded through collaboration with 11 different artists. Mirror Music is a study of two halves in confluence; a diptych of images braided into a singular vision.

about
"On Mirror Music, Michael creates a world that feels to me both familiar and alien, like I'm wandering the savannahs on a distant planet. While listening, I spend half the time wondering, 'what is that sound?' and the other half asking myself, 'what is this feeling?'.
— Hrishikesh Hirway, Song Exploder

This album is one weird masterpiece. Killed my turntable needle a while ago and looked for music to fill the spot - blueblue did. A unique, dreamy, foggy weird journey into contemporary jazz. Love it since the first time listening! StrangeFlow
Intelligent, complex and brilliant. Something new with each listen. Modern classical composition at its best. This will be with me a long time. joff curtoys
DC experimental duo Requiem and UK cellist Simon McCorry make ambient psychedelia together that traffics in subtlety rather than bombast. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 27, 2021
From Dutch producer Yannick Verhoeven comes this excellent album full of stiff-limbed coldwave that recalls the best of the early ’80s. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 10, 2022
