Having experimented with ambient guitar and keyboard techniques, musician Michael J. Goldberg began releasing music as Musical Mandalas in 2010. Starting with minimalistic, space-like synths and layered guitars, Goldberg continued to explore his ambient styles which evolved into many albums - each with slightly different atmospheric feelings and musical styles. From electric guitars, to strings, to synths, Musical Mandalas has a knack for combining electronic music with classical, while maintaining a relaxing and mysterious feel, with just the right balance of dark and light, and of dissonance and melody. Michael also plays lead guitar in rock band Audio Jane, has produced for various CT-based artists, and has written music for TV and film. He currently lives in Tariffville, CT.
