The Green Kingdom is Michael Cottone (b.1976), a graphic designer and sound
artist based in Detroit. Primarily self-taught, he started off playing
guitar and progressed to a variety of instruments, eventually
incorporating digital sound design and production methods.
Interested in creating compositions which blur the lines between
soundscape and structure while keeping a sharp focus on melody, his
skill is in using a variety of digitally manipulated acoustic and
electronic sources, sampled textures, noise and field recordings.
Imbued with a sense of "optimistic nostalgia", his soundworlds
encourage introspective explorations and provide an escape from our
sometimes hectic lives.
