Bio
Michael Kramer is a guitarist and composer whose work balances structure and spontaneity, the cerebral and the soulful. Now based in Nyack, NY, after years in the Washington, DC scene, Michael draws from a wide array of influences—musical, scientific, and philosophical—to craft music that feels as alive and dynamic as the questions it poses.
His trio, Superstring and the Cosmic Vibrations, and his co-led large ensemble, KW Big Band, serve as outlets for a creative vision shaped by daily practice, deep listening, and a lifelong fascination with how complexity emerges from simplicity. Whether through improvisation or composition, Michael’s music reflects a quiet reverence for the unseen forces that shape our world—from particle fields to shared silences.
He is currently working on new recordings with both projects, continuing to explore sound as a way of being in dialogue with the cosmos—and with each other.
