Michael McNeill is a pianist, improviser, and composer based in Buffalo, NY. While living in eastern Virginia, he started the quartet Allegories, with Baltimore-based musicians Susan Alcorn (pedal steel guitar), Dave Ballou (trumpet), and Shelly Purdy (vibraphone & percussion).

Barcode Poetry is the culmination of this quartet's first tour in June 2022. The band spent a week on the road, going from rural eastern Virginia to Detroit, developing McNeill’s tunes and deepening the band’s chemistry. In the studio, the band distilled its sprawling improvisations into concise, focused performances.

McNeill describes the project, "As with many bands I organize, I went into it assuming it would be a fun, one-off project that would probably never play again. Somehow, though, this seemingly unwieldy combination of instruments proved to be an ideal vehicle for our individual and collective explorations, and, perhaps most importantly, our personalities meshed well, too. Our 2022 tour was further proof that we were a band. For those of you who didn’t get to hear us on the road then, I hope the focused, distilled performances on the present recording (made just after the end of our tour) will give you a window into the collective energy we cultivated that week."

"Barcode Poetry is an album that provides a different aural experience on each hearing.  The musicians usher the listener through this journey document, a collection of unique moments that occurred one time, never to be duplicated. By entering their artistic sphere without expectations, we can be rewarded with fresh sounds and a cleansing of our listening ears. Maybe this is the 'Double Memory' that the last track refers to, or as the alternative Negative Memory." — Jon Nelson, Founder - Meridian Arts Ensemble; Professor - University at Buffalo

Pedal to the beat, don't stop, don't slow,
Feel the fire burn, let your spirit glow.
Up the hill we climb, pushing through the pain,
With every single turn, we're stronger, we gain.

Keep on rollin', keep on goin',
Feel the rhythm, we're not slowin'.
Every spin, we're winnin', grinnin',
Cycle strong, we're just beginnin'.

Pedal, pedal, pedal, hey!
Pedal, pedal, pedal, hey!
Cycle like a champ, don't sway,
Pedal, pedal, pedal, hey!

Sweat drips down, but we push through,
Every breath we take, it's all brand new.
Rise up high, let the music lead,
We're a force of nature, built for speed.

Keep on rollin', keep on goin',
Feel the rhythm, we're not slowin'.
Every spin, we're winnin', grinnin',
Cycle strong, we're just beginnin'.

Push it, push it, don't you quit,
Feel the energy, this is it!
On the bike, we fly, we soar,
Pedal hard, let's give it more!

Together we ride, side by side,
Feel the power, we can't hide.
Cycle fast, cycle strong,
In this room, we all belong.

Keep on rollin', keep on goin',
Feel the rhythm, we're not slowin'.
Every spin, we're winnin', grinnin',
Cycle strong, we're just beginnin'.
Pedal, pedal, pedal, hey!
Pedal, pedal, pedal, hey!

As the music fades, the ride is done,
We conquered it all, we had our fun.
But remember this, when you're feelin' low,
Keep on pedaling, let your spirit grow.

Captivated by the seismic shifts in technology, such as blockchain and AI, I find they challenge us to deepen what makes us truly human. What emerged is at this intersection of art and tech which led me on a different path of thought and feeling. Check the link to ‘Digital Asset Creator’ to give you an idea what I mean by that. It’s a journey that is infinitely enriched by your company, reminding me that I do not travel alone.
