about
Michael's acoustic-electronic cyber-balladry puts music to the beauty and the strangeness of 21st Century life – weaving analog and digital, folk and futuristic influences into heart-and-mind-expanding tunes that soar and groove and shimmer. Singing and playing while twisting knobs and DJ'ing live samples with his toes, Michael's performances are an embodiment of his training as an evolutionary biologist and cyberdelic poet-philosopher – liberating the organic into the digital, and the idioms of Americana into a new species of transcendental trance.
