I've watched the sun kiss a thousand clouds
how long must I wait for you?
tongue-tied, beseeched, avowed
how far must I strain for you?
once drunk in endless light
now starving in your shadow
it lingers beyond farewell
leaving all earthly things fallow

fire creeps along my veins
heat wells within my heart
once I was on your side
now I long to tear you apart

there's nothing left to write
words fail me
adrift in a barren sea
I'm flailing
poised to dread the coming rains
and thunder
fearing this has been our last stand

racing behind my brow
empty dreams preoccupy
what was, what is, and what will be
tremble and ossify

fires creep along my veins
heat wells within my heart
once I was on your side
now I long to tear you apart

there's nothing left to write
words fail me
adrift in a barren sea
I'm flailing
poised to dread the coming rains
and thunder
fearing this has been our last stand

"The Last Stand" [Michael Ash Sharbaugh and Mike Sobel]

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.

Distinguished Tones bring You the sounds from the void directly to your mind ,soul and body. I wish You had a pleasant time listening to my created tones .


 I have written new material, just need to record again. Having disabilities makes this struggle all the more difficult. I wish the best for all of us that create. I hope to continue this adventure that only started at the beginning of the lockdowns. Once we are settled I hope to share more of the world of Catpadwick. I do have a YouTube channel that is more personal and has some live performances and meditations. I need help understanding this new digital world.
 Thank you for the past few years.
My next pro is now over. Being on the verge of homelessness and having disabilities makes holding onto SoundCloud impossible at the moment. I'm loosing songs on this page. I will try a more affordable approach from here on out, as far as music production. In a world of baby shark; music has no place it seems anymore. Thanks again for your support the past three years and 56 songs later.
