Name: For Iroh by Michael J Nicholas
Duration: 1 min 28 s
Description: This piece was inspired by one of my favorite characters Iroh from the animated series "Avatar: The Last Airbender ".

Really nice oriental sounding song! Iroh's also one of my favorite characters in Avatar: the Last Airbender. :)

I really like the Western Air Temple in Book 3, when Prince Zuko joins up with the Avatar and his friends. I also like the Boiling Rock when Mai and Ty Lee fight against Princess Azula and are put in prison. It's hard to really have a complete favorite. The episodes are all so good.

Amazing

“5 AM Jogging” opens with a subtle dawn-like ambience — soft percussive pulses and gentle synth pads mimic the hush of early morning. As the track progresses the tempo builds, capturing the rhythm of footsteps on pavement, the rising heartbeat of a runner greeting the day. Mircea layers in bright melodic motifs that evoke hope, renewal and the unexpected stillness of the world at that hour.

The mood is at once meditative and energising: on one hand you feel the clarity and quiet of a time before most people awake; on the other you feel the steady motion, the intentional stride, the decision to move ahead. … Lyrically (if there are vocals) or atmospherically the piece suggests a moment of self-commitment — choosing to show up, choosing motion, choosing a fresh start.

There’s an undercurrent of introspection: in the early hours, your mind quiets, distractions fade, and the simplest act (jogging) becomes metaphorical for progress, change, even escape. Liv Mircea uses sound to frame that dual meaning: the physical act of jogging + the inner journey toward clarity.

In terms of production, the track balances crisp modern electronic textures with warm ambient washes. Sparse beats give way to fuller instrumentation, yet the arrangement remains uncluttered — reinforcing the theme of “just me and the road at 5 AM”.

If I were to sum it up: “5 AM Jogging” is a sonic snapshot of a quiet morning commitment — the calm before most awaken, the purposeful motion of feet on ground, the mental space created by movement and early light. It invites the listener not only to jog, but to reflect, to breathe, to begin.

Coffee addict with a passion for video games, film, TV, and books... basically any form of storytelling. Love listening to new music and learning about new artists.  

As far as my music background goes, I was the drummer and a founding member for a band called Breathing Machine back in the late 90's. We recorded 3 albums, one with a national label. Since then I received a BA in Film/Video Production from Columbia College Chicago, composed for several short films including a documentary, nonprofit AIDs commercial, and "Second Chance," winner of the Silver Remi in the Experimental genre at the World Fest Houston Film Festival.
Now I'm living in Los Angeles pursuing a career in digital composing for visual media. If you're interested in collaborating on a piece for your project, would like to purchase or license my music, or have any other questions, message me and we'll talk. Also, I appreciate constructive feedback, so stop by and say hello.
