Miguel Santamaria
Brooklyn based handpan/multi instrumentalist Miguel Santamaria Jr is a Colombian American musician who derives his style from exploring technical and conceptual boundaries between lucidity and improvisation. Through personal use of entheogenic practice and over 13 years studying and playing percussion Miguel strives to push the possibilities and application of the handpan through the use of loop stations, throat singing, mantras, and cerebral compositions that still remain true to the playful nature of improvisation innate in us all. He currently curates and holds space with Merkabah Sound in ceremonial setting, and performs his acoustic/electronic loop based compositions as a duo with Adam under the moniker Sunsetter.
