The bright chords sound like a horn section.  :-)

Death is no barrier to science

I enjoy writing the backing music for the adverts of Sage & Savant. This one is for the January adventure where Sage & Savant travel back to the Viking Era.

Reflections of Waterlillies originally started out as a cello and piano piece for a young cellist at the church where my son preaches.  For one reason or another it never was performed, until the organist for the church asked me to write something to play for special music during the summer.  I re-examined this piece, made some adjustments so I could actually play it.  
Oddly enough that version was never performed either.  Eventually it found its way into the hands of a pianist, cellist  and educator - Erica Sipes.  She recorded this as a gift for my birthday, playing both cello and piano.
The music is one in a collection of pieces based on various impressionist artists and their paintings.  This one based on the famous Waterlillies (1906) by Claude Monet, as is the image on the website.  Throughout the music there is subtle shift in harmonies and tonality, and yet remaining close to the original reflecting the subtle shifts of greens and blues in this painting

Clarity of Melody with intense rhythms is a key element in the music of Chip Michael.  He feels it is important the listener have something to grasp in terms of melody while providing interesting, intricate rhythms, odd meter and complex counterpoint.  The unique blend of rhythms and melody are what make Chip's music appealing to audiences of all types from around the world.

The OneMile Programme funded the film "Under Assured" featuring Chip's music as well as sound design.
