The Moon. Powerful. Beautiful. Omnipresent. Essential. This is my tribute to probably one of the most wonderful and amazing things that can be seen by every single person on the planet, every day, for free.

Relaxing music inspired by the might and power of the moon

 I am inhabited by a cry.
 Nightly it flaps out
 Looking, with its hooks, for something to love.

Micia Recordings is a record label based in Manchester, but managed from Italy. Releasing carefully curated music ranging from pleasant horizontal bliss to beats to wear jogging pants to when you need to buy the emergency rolling papers from the corner shop, five minutes before it closes.

The word "Micia" is an Italian word which translates as a female "Moggy" (or cat)in British English. As I learn more Italian, I am beginning to admire the efficiency of it having a different word for masculine and feminine things, when initially I found it was a bit annoying!

We used to have a predominantly orange cat that my Italian wife used to call "Micia". Eventually it was the name the cat responded to in the most positive fashion, so we changed her name to Micia.
Micia loved to lie next to the sub woofer in my studio and, I don't know whether it was coincidence or not, but she used to give approving meows when the music was vibin'. Micia was the inspiration for the name of the label.

Soundcloud is just one of the platforms we visit. Like most cats we have a a few places to chill and make ourselves comfortable, but we can be found elsewhere on the internet if you're curious. Please feel obliged to explore the collection of links below ;-)

Piano / keyboard player based in North Wales.  I like to write music that's beautiful and has lots of movement. I draw from a whole range of genres but mostly electronic and orchestral.

I love listening to Danny Bryd, Shostakovich and Mike Oldfield, so a real mixture!
