I re-recorded this track with my new Friedman amp.  I love this thing, it sounds fantastic.  The song is pretty sweet too.

"
I realize she's a siren disguised
her lullaby is injected as her teeth incise
she's highly infectious
she's makin' me feckless
I follow a deathwish when I hear her breath hiss
eyes without a face
her lips do encase
she's like Eve with an apple
'Arsenic and Old Lace'
[yet I'm drinkin' her down]
what's all this fuss 'bout a psychedelic trip
[when she can murder me and still be hip]
I'm so blue --- she's out there
so ... I'll say my prayers
say my prayers
say my prayers
"

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 love guitar and whisky.  I also enjoy writing and recording music.

The label "Minimalistic Secrets" was founded in January 2023,  with electronic styles from Ambient, over House & Techhouse to Techno and songs which are a mixture of all these styles. It’s electronic but full of analog heartblood.
