Tucker Martine (b. January 14, 1972) is an American record producer, musician and composer who has worked with artists such as Mudhoney, The Decemberists, Laura Veirs and Jesse Sykes. Tucker Martine grew up in Nashville, Tennessee where he played in bands and tinkered with recording devices before moving to Boulder, Colorado upon graduating from high school. In Colorado, Martine was a DJ at a public radio station (KGNU). He would frequently play 2 or more records at once on the air. Martine also took courses at the Naropa Institute where he studied sound collage and befriended Harry Smith - the ethnomusicologist, artist, and Kabbalist - who made a large impression on Martine. In 1993, Martine moved to Seattle, Washington where he began to combine his skills and interests. He joined Wayne Horvitz's chamber group The 4 Plus 1 Ensemble where Martine's instrument was a series of looping and sound manipulating devices which were fed by the groups otherwise acoustic instruments. He has also released several albums of his field recordings. As a composer and musician Martine has released 2 albums under the recording pseudonym Mount Analog as well as Mylab (a collaboration with keyboardist Wayne Horvitz) and Orchestra Dim Bridges (with violist Eyvind Kang). Additionally, Microsoft called upon Martine's creativity when they asked him to help compose the startup and branding sounds for Microsoft's new operating system Vista. Along with guitarist Bill Frisell, drummer Matt Chamberlain, and producer Lee Townsend, Martine is part of Floratone, which released a CD in 2007.
Today Martine lives in Portland and continues to makes records in his own studio, FLORA.
