INNER SANCTUM VIII Monk Of Funk

Me SINGING!!! One of my few pop-type songs. Love the groove. Lyrics purposefully repeated in verse 2. I was trying to get into that space of feeling that somehow lies beyond words ...

THE WAY THAT U MAKE ME FEEL 2003

Having composed in many widely different genres of music over nearly 30 years here is a compilation of perhaps the best compositions from the top 15 genres. This may perhaps illustrate the pretty vast musical diversity of my work. The fact that I can compose in so many different styles has created major difficulties for me over the years. Which is the real authentic Michael Mulroy??? I always say to people when they are looking a bit puzzled. Imagine Elton John Billy Joel Stevie Wonder etc. As soon as you hear one of their tracks you KNOW it is them. But I can't say that but myself. I simply do NOT have a particular signature style. I am what is known in professional songwriting circles as a "GENERALIST" ie someone who writes in a wide variety of styles. It is generally recognised that these types of composers have the hardest time establishing themselves in the industry because it is impossible to pigeon-hole them or for them to create their own brand IDENTITY as it were. This is precisely the predicament I have found myself in. And very unfortunately it has paralysed me over many years. However what I have gradually realised is I need to aim whichever song at whichever specific market. Horses for courses. I also recognise that all the while I am composing I am building up my portfolio of music so that IF ... doors ever open for me (after all it only takes ONE song to be recognised!!!) then the floodgates could open!! I might yet win that Oscar!! 

EMMANUEL 2000

A VAST CREATIVE OUTPOURING AFTER RETURNING FROM A 3 MONTH SABBATICAL IN LOS ANGELES.  WORKED MORE OR LESS 8 HOURS A DAY FOR 3 MONTHS. INCREDIBLE. YOU CAN SEE HERE MULTIPLE VERSIONS OF TRACKS. THIS IS HO I BUILD THEM UP LAYER UPON LAYER.  G = GUITAR. EP = ELECTRIC PIANO. BR = BRASS. STR = STRINGS. EACH LAYER WAS TRANSFERRED TO COMPUTER AND LABELLED. 64 SEPARATE LAYERS OF TRACKS HERE. YOU CAN NOW SEE HOW I BUILD UP EACH TRACK TIL IT REACHES ITS FINISHED FORM.
