Michael Morley has been played on NTS in shows including Great Southern Lands w/ James W, featured first on 13 March 2019. Songs played include The Road, Blood On Some Tracks and The House.

Morley sings and plays guitar and laptop as a member of The Dead C, but also records on his own (and with collaborators) as Gate. Earlier, in the 1980s, Morley was a member of Wreck Small Speakers On Expensive Stereos.

Morley founded the Precious Metal label sometime in the late 1980s to document, first on cassette and later LP and CD, his own work as Gate. Most of the releases on Precious Metal were limited to very small quantities.
