Most of Michael's music features a guitar synthesizer to achieve the string sections, brass and sounds of a keyboard synthesizer. Demonstrating exceptional talent, Michael composes and performs in broad musical styles ranging from Django Reinhardt to Rap/Hip-Hop. His mastery of the guitar, his thoughtful development of melody and his wry humour shine in these tracks, and would be perfect for almost every type of media dramatization. Included in this collection are a number of pieces composed specifically for 30 seconds for advertising themes.
