Michael Lowenstern

Michael Lowenstern is a genre-bending bass clarinetist, composer, and electronic artist known for blending jazz, classical, and avant-garde sounds with modern tech-driven experimentation. A virtuoso of his instrument, he’s spent decades pushing the bass clarinet beyond traditional boundaries, whether through looping pedals, improvisation, or collaborations that span from classical ensembles to electronic producers. His recent releases, like the 2024 remasters of *Spin Cycle* and *1985*, highlight his knack for reinventing older works while staying fresh, and albums like *Ten Children* (Vol. 1 & 2) showcase his playful yet deeply technical approach to composition. Lowenstern also thrives as an educator and advocate for new music, sharing his love for the clarinet’s versatility through workshops and online tutorials. Whether he’s crafting hypnotic electronic loops or delivering soaring solos, his work feels like a conversation between tradition and innovation—always inventive, never predictable.
