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.

My Name is Simon I'm born in 1992 in a little town in Tuscany.
At the age of 4 I begin on studing Drums ​and there my passion for music begins.
I Start on doing ambient music in 2009  with Audacity,once i was only criple sounds with my own hands!
The passion for acustic music is never ended and even now I recording sounds with a Zoom H4N and in my studio i mix the tracks with Reaper and add new sounds like drones and loops.
An Other Thing that i really love of ambient music is the Natural Field Recording,i love to go on woods or in strange places for recording Natural or Folk sounds of the place.
I  think that the field recording is something very important on ambient music and that it deserve more attention form the artists on this beautiful form of Art.
I've released many albums with various thematics.
You can find my albums on Bandcamp.
Enjoy your Journey.
