Michael Keck's song "Aaminah Lady of Peace" is the winner of our Editor's Choice Award for April 2012. This song is gifted with one of the most exotic and masterful female vocal performances we have ever heard, utilizing an unusual warbling vibrato vocal technique.

In addition to the stage productions above, Michael has composed music for the Cincinnati Playhouse, The Alliance, Milwaukee Repertory, Indiana Repertory, Portland Center Stage, and many other American theaters, plus The National Theater of Croatia.
Whether you are producing a documentary, feature-length film, TV commercial, fashion runway, industrial promo, theatre production or art installation, Michael's music will nail it for you. He can conjure up music that is perfect for action thrillers, espionage, romance, a shamanic dance, a bar mitzvah, or a bone-chilling CSI murder episode. Did we forget to mention that "Versatility" is his middle name?
