Michael's music creates a powerful and mysterious atmosphere,
evoking other worlds and shifting consciousness, and is created
primarily with acoustic instrumentation. Sounds created on acoustic
instruments convey the artist's state of consciousness and intention
more effectively than the triggered samples on digital keyboards
and this adds to the healing dimensions of the music. Michael's
instrumentation includes vocals, vibraphone, marimba, orchestra
bells hammered dulcimer, acoustic and electric guitars, and percussion.
Loops and sequencers are avoided to allow the full expression,
subtlety and healing power of the live performances to shine through.
Recently, Michael's song 'Wake up the World' was a prizewinner
in the 2003 Tipperary International Song of Peace songwriting
competition in Ireland. His song 'Soul Sister' won a Bardic competition.
He co-formed a new band with Thom Dean and Jen Howie called 'Songspell',
which acts as a conduit of intentionality creating healing transcapes
live, and in the moment. It is healing sound you can dance to.
*(entheogenic-"to create or generate a God-like experience within"
a modern term coined by Timothy Leary and Terrance McKenna.
Quotes
"There is an intangible quality of the music that stops time
for those listening. It inspires. It instructs. It touches. It
influences. After the show, we were inundated with messages praising
the music. It infused the show with a relaxed feeling of peace,
elevating the mood of the audience, energizing individuals. The
music appealed to the entire spectrum of visitors."
David Alker, Co-ordinator, The Total Health Show
"If you ever imagined yourself wandering around inside of a cloud,
it might sound like this. It has many of the same qualities as
the best space music: it paints a picture so large that you can
wander in and get lost for a while. You can visit the enchanted
domain many times and each time come away with a different experience."
From CD review in New Age Voice Magazine
"A dreamy melange of peaceful melodies. Listening will put you
in a trance-like state...This gentle river of sound presents a
perfect background for massage and meditation."
From CD review in Massage Therapy Journal
"I believe in the quality of his work. "Dance of the Deep" is
one of the best selling CDs at the studio."
Helen Goldstein, Director, The Yoga Studio, Toronto
I have had so much great feedback form the Valentine's Dance.
People loved it. And the thing that has really struck me, is that
it was so much more than "just a dance" It truly was a very profound
and ecstatic journey. That was my experience, and I have had other
people say the same thing in other ways about it. It was wild
and sweaty and fun, and soooo SACRED. I really connected with
the Divine energy. Amazing stuff!! Thanks again for your music".

blissful yoga practice."

"Apart from the fact that I like the sound of your music, the underlying theme of the Sacred makes it special.
It mirrors the belief - which I hold - that the Divine permeates all areas and times of life.
This makes your music such that it accompanies souls on their quest for completion, contributing tunes to the dance of life."
