Mike is best known for his work with Strangefire(2004 - 2008) and is currently working on his new project Decaying Orbit that formed in 2008. Mike has released over 40 solo albums of varying genres yet always experimental, unorthodox and compelling. his work with Decaying Orbit continues to baffle listeners with it's genre-splitting weirdnessess. This page is a collective of Mike's early material. "This site is for the fan-base that has kept me going through the years, everyone who listened to the demos, everyrone who encouraged me, everyone who was there and made a difference, Thank you, These are your songs." - Mike Ash
Band/artist history
my music comes from the gut, emotion... I believe in honesty, my words are obscure for a reason, my reason is yet to be clear. I like to experiment with sound, noise, tone, I believe music should be as challenging and brutal as it needs to be, this is not a hobby for me, it is what I do, music is my life blood.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
I have played many gigs over the years, with Many different bands, however Decaying Orbit has never played a show & is strictly a studio project. What can I say? I'm a weirdo introvert that isolates a lot, which is when I create my tunage.
