Composer Michael Torke cultivates an eclectic, accessible style that includes elements of popular music and jazz without entering crossover or pops territory. His music, sometimes characterized as postminimalist, appeals to a wide variety of audiences, and he has received commissions from major orchestras in the U.S. and abroad. Torke's music began to attract attention in the mid-'80s as the New York Youth Orchestra commissioned his Bright Blue Music (1985). That was one of a series of color-themed works composed by Torke, a synaesthete. Torke's debut album, The Yellow Pages; Rust; Vanada; Slate; Adjustable Wrench, appeared in 1990. Torke formed the Ecstatic Records label in 2003 and the publishing company Adjustable Music, enabling him to control his copyrights and master recordings. He returned with the orchestral albums Being (2020) and Time (2022) and then the keyboard album Sessions, 3 A.M., featuring himself on piano.
