Music

My full discography ranging in styles from classical piano, to jazz, to electronic and rock.

A multicoloured piano keyboard with red and purple console at the top. The white keys are recoloured to appear blue, green, and light red as though they are under coloured lighting. The black keys are unchanged in colour but have a glowing white outline.

Photography

Empty Lines & Spaces

A Greco-Roman styled circular temple with doric pillars sits beneath an enclave of pine trees. Deciduous trees, green with gold colours coming in sit around the structure in the background. A pile of red, orange, and brown leaves lie on the forest floor in

Hey, who are you?

I am sitting beneath an oak tree in autumn in a bed of red, orange and yellow leaves. I am wearing a yellow polo shirt and jeans with a piccolo bass guitar in my lap, in playing position.

Hi, I'm Mike. My last name rhymes with "quail."I'm guessing that by reading this you wanted to learn a little bit more about me and the wacky world within my head? Well, I'm not too keen on talking about myself, but I'll give it my best. I am a musician, photographer, and writer. That is a lot of hats to be wearing and, while it can get a little warm, it does come in handy in the independent arts.The duality of nature and the abstract horrors of the unseen often find their way into my work regardless of medium. I always try to look at the world, especially my own circumstances, with a bit of wonder and lightheartedness. If there's a bizarre low-budget horror movie too strange to possibly exist but does anyway, I probably have it.I have been making sounds, images and telling stories since the times of VHS and when logging onto the Internet required enduring a few minutes of loud, alien noises while watching a cartoon man struggle to make the connection. Ah, what a glorious age!I hope that you take the time to appreciate my growing catalogue of work, and that you have a pleasant day!

Let's get in touch!
