Michael Cashmore is an English composer and musician currently living in Berlin. His first involvement in music began in the early 80's when he started experimenting with tape machines, acoustic instruments and super 8mm film. Around that time he founded the group Nature And Organisation who made several live performances, and later in the 90's released several recorded works. After becoming a member of Current 93 in 1990 Michael began writing music almost exclusively for the group. Since moving to Berlin several years ago, aside from his work with Current 93, Michael began recording albums under his own name - the first of which "SLEEP ENGLAND" was released in 2006 followed by the mini-album "THE SNOW ABIDES" in 2007 which features all vocals by Antony (Antony and the Johnsons) and texts by David Tibet. Michael released a collaborative CD EP "GABRIEL AND THE LUNATIC LOVER" at the end of April 2008 with singer Marc Almond which featured adaptations of poetry by Count Stenbock. Spring 2011 sees the release of all the collaborative work between Michael and Marc Almond with the album "Feasting With Panthers" which features some of Marc's favourite poetry set to music by Michael. With all vocals by Marc Almond and all music composed, played and mixed by Michael Cashmore this 13 track album is released on June 6th through Cherry Red Records / Strike Force.
