Mike Skinner is a Composer, Producer and Writer working with a wide cross section of New York's art stars, indie rockers, noise bands, art filmmakers, fashion designers, video artists, transsexuals, and choreographers.

Mike was recently awarded a Roulette Grant for Experimental Music and will be debuting this piece in September 2006.
Mike has worked within the dance and performance art community for several years. He began by composing extended pieces for Isabel Gotzkowsky's seasons at the Joyce SoHo and the Pace Theatre, both produced by long time collaborator Chris Bracco . In 2003 he performed at the NY Improv Festival with Jeremy Wade , a fruitful collaboration that continued February 2006 at Jeremy's widely acclaimed Dance Theatre Workshop showing. Mike performed with Jeremy during his solo using a mixture of live drums, tape loops, found sounds and processed live vocals.

Four of his scores are hosted on WPS1.org
