Dressed in white with a string of pearls
city lights they rule your world
drapes of gold in a window panes
hear your song playing again

just a gem in your Daddy's eyes
hosting parties to socialize
had a trust fund before you were five
gave you what you want whenever you cried

(and you play it again)

String Of Pearls - (Sharbaugh | The NME | Hallam) Collaboration

Multi-instrumentalist, composer and producer from Stockholm, Sweden.

Welcome <3

POP | SPACEROCK | VAPORTRAP | TRIP-HOP
AMBIENT | EXPERIMENTAL

the PERSON, the SOUND : Since 1985, Philadelphia-born Michael has composed and released hundreds of audio recordings, and published dozens of [erotic] poems.

His 'sonic-sojourn' began suddenly when he was just a teen -- feet splashing rhythmically through puddles leftover by a seaside rainstorm. Having just parted ways with the then-love-of-his-life, Michael composed his first ballad [and first song] ever -- "Tina." He rushed to his beach-side home to record his visceral 'awakening' on a tiny micro-cassette recorder, and vowed -- from that day on -- to create art for the rest of his life.

He began zealously amassing used music equipment, and had built a modest home recording studio by age seventeen, all the while crafting simple pop, ambient, and experimental works that HE had wanted to listen to -- that HE had wanted to hear, affectionately emulating the works of his then-idols, Duran Duran and Brian Eno.

Now, decades later, he has relocated to a small village outside Atlanta, Georgia, and continues to voraciously attend to his dream as a young, heartbroken boy -- to create and release music that he, himself, wants to hear.

Although no longer sequestered to pop and ambient musics, Michael's signature sound has merged the two, having integrated the R&B, hiphop, and psychedelia he has grown to love as a older gent -- having absorbed the edgy rhythms and dreamy soul of the southern United States (Atlanta and Miami).

Michael still puts forth ample amounts af ambient musics, but his recent 'sound' hovers elsewhere -- somewhere amidst the genres of vaportrap, spacerock, and trip-hop.

Hello, my name is Tessie. I'm about to take you on a magical journey through a mystical desert, an enchanted forest, a haunted castle and a seascape. I'm a Singer/Songwriter and Instrumentalist who is inspired by film scores of the classic fantasy movies, game music and my artwork. Growing up in various parts of the US with my military family, I discovered the power of imagination. My whole family is very creative. My mother is an amazing singer/songwriter that has played her music throughout my entire life and inspires me every day. When I was very young, I knew I was blessed with the gift of drawing and illustration. When my mother would take breaks while practicing her songs on the keyboard; I would sneak over and in time, I discovered that I had a love for writing instrumentals. This album is a compilation of my childhood fantasies infused with the romantic theme of my upcoming wedding. I really wanted to create a unique sound, comparable to the magic of “A Midsummer Night's Dream.” One can never be too old for a little magic and fairy tales can be real.

Mountain Songs is a project dedicated to my brother Brian Reeves (aka Rocky Mountain, 1948–2012), an accomplished songwriter, guitarist and arranger.  He was the creative force behind so many of the songs on this page.  If you have time, please click for lyrics and track history. 
This is for you Bri, with love and thanks from us all.   We miss you. (Gary Reeves)

Musician, Songwriter- All songs written, played, recorded and produced by me.
