"Venusian Smile" [Michael Ash Sharbaugh and Adrian Hallam]

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.

 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.

Hello! I play guitar, bass and a bit of keys. Played in lots of bands over the years. Lately I'm focusing on recording (Logic Pro) instrumental music. I have many influences so what comes out is elements of Rock, Electronic, Ambient, Progressive and Indie.  Mostly improvised. My dream would be working on movie soundtracks. 
I will be posting as often as I can. I'm also open to collaborating with other musicians. Any and all comments welcome!

Also the other half of the duo - Inner Critic. Check it out!

Do not turn away from grief O soul. Look for the remedy inside the pain. Because the rose came from the thorn and the Ruby came from the stone.

Based in Vancouver BC, Devils Lake Revival is an active solo musical project conceived and founded by Paul Cassidy in January 2021. Drawing inspiration from The Doors, Pink Floyd, Grateful Dead, Allman Bros, Type O Negative, synth-wave and House EDM, Devils Lake Revival crafts original songs with deep core emotion and heartfelt soul essence.

The inspiration for the moniker was taken from Devils Lake in North Dewdney, Mission BC. and the last place he and his late brother Andy would enjoy fellowship together before his untimely departure from this realm. 
Paul chose this dark lake forest setting as the honorary vocal point where his ideas and music would be conceived, constructed and come to fruition.

The definition of Revival means
 “to come back to life” and he saw it fitting to meld these concepts together to breathe new life into a fresh creative artistic expression, life experience and unto himself triumphant.

All songs written, composed and preformed by 
Paul Cassidy/Devils Lake Revival. 

Captured, Recorded, Engineered and Produced by Paul Cassidy

All works contains herein are dedicated to the memory of precious brother Andrew Bell-Boyer, 
and unto the ever present, flowing moments and experiences of truth, love and light. May we learn and grow from the greatest teacher of all. Life itself.
