RECENT RELEASE : WITHIN

“Within” is a deeply moving and contemplative composition inspired by the misty beauty of the Oregon coast. This evocative piece invites listeners into a soothing, melancholic soundscape, offering a space for introspection, relaxation, and emotional exploration.

With its gentle melodies and smooth textures, “Within” serves as a poignant reminder that the strength we often seek externally can be found within ourselves. It reflects the full spectrum of the human experience — both joy and struggle — emphasizing that even in moments of sadness, there is room for growth, resilience, and transformation. Let it guide you toward an inner calm and a renewed sense of self.

Recent release : EP — Into the light

A soft relaxing solo piano EP to center one's thoughts and calm the mind and soul. There are moments on the EP that allow your mind to run along and explore an exciting idea, vision or image; while at the next instant the music helps you to become calm and still and allows your thoughts to drift and center you in a peaceful place. Ultimately, Michael seeks to remind us through the music to see hope, truth, and light in the world — no matter where you are or what you are facing, and that we can stay strong when facing adversity and misfortune by bending with the forces pushing against us but not breaking, and use our inner strength to stay strong, survive and thrive.

recent release : Into the light

“Into The Light” is a solo piano piece inspired by patient belief in oneself and seeing hope, light, kindness, and truth in the world — no matter what is happening or where you are. The piece is melodic voice to the message of staying determined, calm, and cautious (but buoyant with hope) when facing a challenge. I want anyone listening to this piece to find strength, solace, belief, and hope in the music - and to remember that they are capable of anything, at all times.
