Sunchannel is the musical project of artist Michele Wortman.

Featuring melodic grooves and trancy beats, the music’s layered rich sounds are drenched in bright melodies and resonate spaces.

Michele’s interest in electronic music dates back to the 80’s where she became enchanted with the new wave of synthesizer based music.

In the mid 90’s she began putting her photography to music and doing small scale performances featuring projections of her macro-based artwork to musical projects such as the Orb and Future Sound of London. Realizing how instrumental the music was to creating the mood and context for the imagery, Michele began to grow ever more intrigued in writing her own musical compositions to accompany the artwork.

In 2000 she bought some gear and began to explore sound. As the sketches became more realized she pondered what to call her musical project. Untrained and without much guidance, Michele thought about what her music seemed to invoke. She decided to call the project Sunchannel, as the intuitive way in which she worked was like tapping into a subconscious collective, channeling energy.

In 2005 Michele wrote her first experimental CD to accompany Moments of Epiphany, a coffee table art book featuring her macro abstract photography. Still early in the stages of personal style, she then released Tune In during 2006, followed by Prism in 2008.
