My heart will lead me without fail to my soul's truest purpose.  

I am a singer, writer, painter, performance poet, dancer and massage therapist and a mom.  Life is full and amazing! ❤

Welcome,

The songs that you find documented here are in various stages of development, and reflect my many musical influences, and thematic interests. In these songs I aim towards beauty, truth, the unnameable. I eke out harmony, and work in moments with the enigmatic tension and revelation that dissonance provides. I seek narrative through words and structure. I see narrative through sound where words fail. Should you be moved by any of these pieces, do reach. 

With gratitude and light,
mia

Born in the unseeded Coast Salish territory called East Vancouver (by the colonizers), BC, Canada, Michael Mars Riel is Plains Cree and French on his Father Arthur’s side and Irish and Scottish on his Mother Susan’s side. Michael is a descendant of the leader of the Red River Resistance Louis Riel(look him up), who is a vital part of Canadian History. 

Michael or sometimes just Mars aka. Infinity Frequency has found joy in playing with sound since he was five, when his mother bought him his first ghetto blaster with a three band equalizer and a little casio synthesizer. Since then his curiosity regarding technology and sound has taken him on a journey through diverse investigations into various flavors of sounds and in their creation.

Michael has special place in his heart for creating an atmosphere of exploration; nurturing movement within space in the present moment, through the auditory experience. 

With great honor and appreciation for creators and listeners everywhere Mars shares his humble creations with gratitude. 

Michael/Mars  would like to thank you for your time, consideration, efforts and especially for your listening with you heart.
