I'm just playing around with looping.  This is a mix of 3 tenor sax tracks and 2 soprano sax tracks.  It doesn't really have a name or anything but I may turn it into an actual song at some point.

Saxing Around

The original song was composed in 1887 by French composer Gabriel Fauré.  I adapted it to put a more mellow, contemporary feel to it with soprano sax.  I performed all the parts, adapted the composition and produced the final work.

Pavane (adapted from Faure's Opus 50)

Ambient, atmospheric, whatever you want to call it.  A mix of floating melodies layered over deep bass lines and complex rhythms.  This style requires you to fully engage your mind to appreciate the details.  Even if it isn't your style, you might find something you like.  Step out of your comfort zone and travel deep within your mind.  Examine to complexity and wind your way through the rhythms and the melodies.

Mike Miccoli - Deep Within Your Mind

My first recording with a Native American flute.  Many more will follow.

Mike Miccoli - Brother Hawk

This song is for my wife.  Kat has listened to me working on it off and on for a few months now and suspected it might be for her.  I never let on that it was indeed for her.  She is a free soul, as am I.  Sometimes we need others to get out of our way so we can be free.  Sometimes we need to get out of our own way in order to be free.  Freedom of the soul is a thing to be treasured.  Once you are able to free your soul from the trappings life tries to put around you, nothing can keep you from enjoying every wonderful experience the universe has to offer.  I love you baby and I am looking forward to enjoying countless more wonders with you.

Free Soul

This is a remastered version of an original song by Grant Wilson.  Grant wrote and performed the song on piano.  Mike Miccoli added the drums, bass, strings, and everything else.

Several years ago, I asked Grant for permission to work on this version.  He told me to go for it.  I'm not sure why I didn't release it anywhere then but I finally decided to post it.

I encourage you to check out the original at:

and listen to the rest of his music.  It's amazing.

The Greatest Favour

This is my version of Richard Elliott's original song from the album, Chill Factor.

This is just me on soprano sax.  I hope you like it.
