Miguel Marin
born in Seville (Spain) in November of 1974.
At the age of ten his father introduced him to the music world by placing him in one of the best professional national bands. After that Marin will recognize in this fact as one of his most significant influences when he composes music.
Between 1992 and 1996 Marin went through several bands in the genre indie pop.
Of the albums realized during those years compito stands out , the band Sr. Chinarros second Lp.
This experience , his interest for getting to know other music and expanding knowledge takes him to London.
Around this time he began to investigate the mix of acoustic and electronic sounds.
At the end of 1998 enters to form part of Piano Magic one of the most interesting bands of the British panorama .Its from that moment on that Marin gives himself up to the composition of minimalist and melancholy music , looking to take the listener on an imaginary trip .
.........................................................................................................................................
His entrance as member of Piano Magic will be fundamental for the band and with him will see the acclaimed artists rifles arrive .This album will be followed by several Eps , singles , and the soundtrack of the film
Son de Mar by the director Bigas Luna . For Marin the encounter and collaboration with the director will mark the beginning of a new path in his personal trajectory.
In January 2002 Marin Leaves Piano Magic to dedicate himself to exploring in solitary those sound tracks that he carries in his mind .
And in Autumn of that same year emerges , under the name of Arbol , his first solo album .The proposal receives the support of specialty magazines , such as the wire and uncut. This last one appoints Marin as
a maestro creating delicate melodies and ambient music

and directed by Bigas Luna .The ambitious project , that closed the
II Bienal of Valencia , combines multimedia work , theatre and performances ,prerecorded and live music composed by Miguel Marin .
In 2004 Marin creates the soundtrack for the short movie 41 degrees directed by Santiago Garrido and produced by Ovideo for Nescafe and composed the music for the fashion show in Barcelona Circuit sponsored by Motorola and directed by Obstbaum.
