Biography
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Micah uses Warmoth and Dean guitars, Line6 processors, and Yamaha keyboards.

Micah Atwell’s new album, Temple of Unmanifest Dreams, is on sale now at CDBaby.com (CD/MP3), Kunaki.com (CD) and SoundClick.com (MP3). Previews are available at MicahAtwell.com/music.
Temple of Unmanifest Dreams is an ambient/electronic guitar odyssey like no other. From incense-saturated Buddhist temples to treks though the natural world and out into the far reaches of the cosmos, Micah takes you on a nostalgic, pensive search for the origin of dreams and then returns you softly to the waking world. Done almost exclusively with guitar, this is guitar like you've never experienced before!

'Vedauwoo' is like liquidy sounds in my mind as I listen to the great echoy fine phrasing, that simply alteres me to another wonderous realm; a minimal sound, with a great bass-- and most unique guitar artistry. I find this very neatly hypnotic; could listen to it for awhile, a good ambience then a subtle guitar added cleverly. SUPERB.
-Your HAPPIEST of the NEW YEAR to you. I've been off Mix for quite awhile; but often one has to take a break,feel like more tha 4 months -family issues & workwise for me need to just relax -mess about, do other things, and be with my 3 sons.
-Your friend. -Vesa

'Vedauwoo' is a most refreshing sound, ambient feel...like the dabbles of sounds that repeat so nicely, good bass emersed under the sounds...a really relaxing feeling, most enjoyable tune; well composed, well thought through. All sounds/instruments are at the right level & placement; most original, like the laid back guitar-very tastefully played adding a warmth to this great atmosphere I'm altered into so well. EXCELLENT****
Great artistry Atwell.
-Your friend & also a fan. -Vesa.
