Please, take a listen to "Cruising" with Christopher Martin Hansen on lead guitar! Thank you! 
Cheers, Everyone!
I was born and raised in Germany and moved permanently to the U.S. in 1986. As a young guy (age 18) I've taught myself to play the guitar and soon expanded to other stringed instruments and the piano (well, keyboard!). I've been playing live gigs for years, then took a little break. Soon, I picked up composing and songwriting again. I've been around for music for over 30 years and it still remains one of my biggest passions in life.

Great sounds here Mike...kind of has a Chris Rea/Mark Knopfler sound to it. Really like the chord changes.

Thanks for adding my tune to your station! I'm listening to your songs now. Specifically' "Harmony"! I really love this one! It's got a great groove to it. I'm loving the guitars, and the sax solo too! I really enjoyed "Mad" also. You had mentioned that you were mad when you played it. That reminds me of the song you added to your station "Cammeron Ave." I was "pissed off" while playing the lead guitar on that one which resulted in a much more HEAVY sound than I usually play. I thought it turned out pretty good though, and likewise, I thought yours was played real well! Anyway, thanks again!

Purely incidental piece. Just jamming and all the sudden! :o) And yes - the e-guitar is live!
This was created in joy of seeing my father again after many years away from my original home!

Dreamy little tune... wake up already! You're safe!
Revised version.., very moody piece with a bit of a lullaby, yet dramatic feel to it.
Hope, you enjoy this newer version of the original "Mystique".

Ambient with a classical intermission tune. Re-mastered sound 12-32-2003. Hope you like it! :o)
Interlude between a jazzy piano and a and spanish guitar ...
Enjoy being out of control the smooth way!
A vocalized version is available on The SoundClique page @ www.soundclick.com/thesoundclique - a band that we created. The vocals were written and performed by Billy Wilcosky. More info on The SoundClique page.

I appreciate Michael adding some great classical guitar to this jazzy tune!!!
A somewhat mysterious, ambient song with a somewhat uplifting center section. Hope, you'll enjoy it.
This is the 3rd version of my instrumental "Dreaming". This song was performed by a band we created, called The SoundClique. Rey Varela wrote the lyrics, performed the vocals and played acoustig bass. Thomas Dobson plays the slide-guitar.
Something out of the Middle Ages
Well - after putting down this instrumental track, my good friend Sharma @ www.soundclick.com/sharma, put the vocals to this tune. I wrote the lyrics and she "adjusted" them slightly. The vocalized version is called "Another Day".

Just a little finger picking on the guitar.
Why this name?
It's got something to do with my name :)
Do you play live?
Not anymore. I consider myself a studio musician these days.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It's an opportunity to get your music heard by a broad audience without great expense of promoting yourself.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Undecided... Talk to me :)
Band History:
Your influences?
Yanni, Jean Paul Jarre, Rippingtons, Kraftwerk (believe it or not), various Jazz, Rock, Blues and Classical artists.
Favorite spot?
Favorite spot would be with my music equipment (second to my wife, of course).
Equipment used:
Various Acoustic, Classical and Electrical guitars, a couple of keyboards, expensive music software, BOSS BR1600, BOSS GT-8 and a few other toys.
Anything else...?
I love music, I love life. And no matter what age you are, you are only as old as you feel - so, feel young all your life! - And don't forget: art is in the eye of the beholder! :o) I also DJ on Mixposure.com ... check it out some time.
