From an early age, Mike has been drawn to many forms of music, especially those that are visually evocative. “I’ve always been aware of how music adds to the overall experience of a film, especially with drama.” Of many interests, his love of music, and film started early and shaped his life in many ways.
At age twelve Mike got his first guitar and life was never the same. Through high school, college and beyond, he played guitar and bass in various rock bands and wrote some songs along the way. Although still performing with two rock bands, Mike began exploring creating music of a much more personal nature. “Rock and roll is great, but I needed to express my larger musical ideas, grown from my love of sci-fi, film scores and classical music.”
His personal compositions evoke powerful emotional and visual imagery in the minds of listeners. “I usually start with some kind of visual image in my head, and play off that image and my emotional response to it. I find this to be tremendously powerful, and I liken it to painting using an emotional pallet.”
Have you performed in front of an audience?
I'm currently a member of The Freelance Vandals, the Wonk Brothers and Second Wind and performing with all three groups in the NY area.
I'm also spending a lot of time in my basement studio performing and recording unusual music, which is mostly what will be found here...
