Wrapping Up 2022 With a Gift For You

2022 has been a big year

…and it wouldn’t have been possible without you. Thank you so much for your support. I’m grateful to do what I do, and grateful that I get to share it with you.

To celebrate the year that was, enjoy this brand new video from my Detroit Institute of Arts show in August! My composition Imperfect Intervals, featuring a magical performance by Virago and stunning visuals by Zara Teicher. This video was artfully directed and produced by Matt Lima.

Some highlights from 2022…

Conjure

Earlier this month, my friend Marcus Elliot and I released Conjure on Two Rooms Records. Our release show at Trinosophes was a memorable one. We have vinyl! Check it out below.

 

From Darkness We Awaken

In August, I released From Darkness We Awaken. Featuring the aforementioned Virago and released on the Brisbane-based label MADE NOW MUSIC, the whole process of producing this work was extremely rewarding. I made friends across the world, and even briefly hit #1 on a college radio station’s charts! We celebrated with a huge show at the DIA.

 

Other Tones

I started producing concerts again under the moniker Other Tones. We did one in 2022, and we have several in the works for 2023. Be on the lookout for this series: musical elsewheres, otherwises, and never-agains.

 

The trio returns

For the first time in many years, I’ve rebooted my trio. We had an amazing run at Cliff Bell’s, a fun gig at the Blue Llama, and we’re developing new music. Look for more from this group soon.

 

Much more planned for 2023, but I’ll leave it here for now. Thanks, as always, for your support. Happy holidays, get some rest, and I hope to see you in the new year!

Best wishes,

Michael
