What Michael says about new age
music on the inside cover of the CD is insightful. I agree 100% with his
thought that music can shape your day and bring you calm. His music is a
beautiful tribute to the keys that created all tracks. And all the compositions
were created by him as well. This is for a man who wondered one day if he could
compose music. I would say the answer to that question is a resounding YES!
Into The Blue is a very inviting release. It doesn’t lull you to
sleep, it brings about introspection and complete peace within. This is what
the artist was searching for while composing this music. It is indeed a direct
reflection of his soul. I believe any astute listener can appreciate the
sincerity of this man and his music.
The keyboards have plenty of
accompaniment that provides the lush soundscapes for Michael to gently drop his
tasteful keystrokes upon. Listening to all these tracks is like riding on a
pure white cloud floating along through a clear blue sky. His musicianship
perfectly meshes with the layers he puts together in each song. There are many
different influences in his music as well. You can hear them all loud and
clear, and that my fellow listeners is a beautiful thing.
“Church of My Heart” is one of
the finest examples (which I added to my Spotify Playlist on my site). The
gorgeous melodies and choir coming into the mix is a slice of heaven. Who would
think such beauty could abound from a shiny silver disc? It is one of the
miracles of technology. I am waiting for the day when all of these wonderful
artists like Michael start getting their music on vinyl, it will be a glorious
occasion indeed. In the meantime, we still get to enjoy the originality and
talent of fine artists such as this.
Into The Blue is exceptional debut release that should lead to
many more to come.
