Michael
Mucklow has been writing original guitar based
songs since the day he received his first guitar
that arrived on his 16th birthday. He soon migrated
to the electric guitar and spent his early years
in several original Hard Rock bands. Michael’s
easy going calm demeanor makes it hard to picture
him playing that style of music, but as Michael
says, “It really opened me up to playing
with passion and intensity, and I later learned
the same can be applied to all forms of music
– even very soothing music.”
Michael
then made a major transition to playing in a
Praise & Worship band. He declares that
“The best thing about that experience
is that I learned a lot about the musical expression
that lives within my own heart.” Michael
performed as a solo guitarist on several occasions,
where listeners often referred to his playing
as, “relaxing, calming and peaceful…even
healing.” Michael has come to believe
that, indeed, music has the power to “produce
a positive impact on one’s spirit.”
 I
had never heard of a genre called New Age Fingerstyle
so when Michael Mucklow sent me his music I
was instantly interested. I was about 3 songs
in when it dawned on me that there were no lyrics
to this music, I was busy chilling out with
the absolutely breathtaking guitar work. The
guitar sang to you like a it had it's own voice,
soft at times yet powerful enough to bring out
the goose bumps down your spine. This is mood
music to the max!
Refreshing
and positive with a slight hint of spanish twang,
this music kept my interest with 12 wonderful
tracks that were diverse from one another. Something
about this music kept giving me goose bumps,
hard to explain I think it might have been the
soft yet powerful way the guitar was worked.
The production of this music was very clear
and crisp and easy to listen to but you might
find yourself being visited by the goose fairy.
I
would recommend this music to everyone that
wants to time a break and enjoy your life from
a different soundtrack.
