Michael Dulin is a classically trained pianist and composer whose work represents the high-fidelity peak of the contemporary instrumental and New Age genres. A Juilliard graduate and finalist in the Carnegie Hall International Piano Competition, Dulin brings a level of technical virtuosity to ambient music that is rarely seen.
His sound identity is built on a foundation of 'crystalline' piano production, often recorded at his own PSI Studios, which emphasizes the mechanical purity and resonance of the instrument. While his early career involved performing the classical canon and touring with The Temptations, his solo output since 1998 has focused on original compositions that utilize neoclassical structures and impressionistic moods. Critically, he is a mainstay of the Zone Music Reporter charts, frequently reaching the top spot. His influence web connects the rigorous world of Adele Marcus to the melodic sensibilities of David Lanz. He occupies a unique cultural position as a 'musician's musician' within the relaxing music space, valued by audiophiles for the dynamic range and clarity of his recordings.
