about

"Welcome to the future...Michael is a pioneer exploring the edge realms where the electric and old world meet...the modern equivalent of Charlie Parker blowing out his soul into the smoky nights of the 1940’s."
- LostInSound, bit.ly/mgatgratiflyreview

Improvised on guitar, voice, and effects at Gratifly Music & Arts Festival on the LostInSound.org Synergy Stage, 26 July 2013 (Carl Jung & Aldous Huxley's birthday). This chronicles, in its entirety, the first concert ever streamed through Google Glass over video chat and projected back on stage, creating an artist-audience feedback loop!

Lyrics are from poems turned into song on the spot. All instrumental sounds are from live guitar and hardware processing (no computers). The Glass was ceremonially consecrated that evening to ensure its use as an instrument of good.

Listen to this loud on big speakers...preferably during a storm.
