Best Dance / Electronic Recording

Vertigo Theme (feat. Alicia Witt)

Michael Bradford’s downtempo electronic reimagining of Bernard Herrmann’s classic with vocals by Alicia Witt

“Vertigo Theme,” featuring disquieting vocal work from Alicia Witt and a wonderful blend of hypnotic sonics and claustrophobic classical sounds…this is a man who implicitly and unarguably understands the nature of the material he is working with.

Best Arrangement, Instruments and Vocals

Comfortably Numb

A new arrangement of the classic, arranged and produced by Michael Bradford

Michael Bradford is a producer, songwriter, engineer, performing talent, and recording artist. His recent full-length album, The Man Behind the Curtain — The Music of Bernard Herrmann, reimagines the legendary composer’s classic film scores as cinematic downtempo music.

This is funk noir, enduring human darkness and sorrow, but elevated throughout with a spirit of hope and redemption. Who knew the man behind the bass behind so many genius songwriters was a secret genius himself? Now the secret is out.

Paul Zollo

Music Journalist, American Songwriter magazine

Bradford puts his skills and passions together to create something entirely unique: a twisted terror of trip-hop noir.
