Placid Wakefulness

Michael Diamond explores the interplay between sleep and wakefulness through four tracks ranging from ambient-calm to club-adjacent rhythms, all through the lens of his jazzed electronic sound.Classical / soundscape leaning deep electronic sound informed by a spectrum of influences. From the music scholarship he won to read Medicine at Oxford where he quickly discovered new ways in which the two worlds can co-exist, his days were spent immersed in academic studies of music perception and cognition, while his nights were spent alongside the likes of Ben UFO, Batu & Ross From Friends, playing at one of UK’s most long-established nights ‘Simple’. A chance encounter there also led him to connect with musical collaborator Alex Wilson – the BBC Young Jazz Musician of the Year semi-finalist and then musical director of Oxford’s Jazz Orchestra – who appears frequently across Diamond’s compositions and on Placid Wakefulness.
