Today on solipsistic NATION<\/b> we\u2019re going to listen to live in-studio performance recorded by Michael Maricle<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n

Michael has been recording and performing his music for a while now but I only just discovered him when a promotional copy of his recently released The Heart Found You<\/a><\/i> album was sent my way for review. Michael\u2019s music was instantly familiar and seems to come from the same tradition that The Orb<\/a> and Tripswitch<\/a> others do. I don\u2019t quite know what that tradition is but I know it has it\u2019s roots in Pink Floyd<\/a> and beyond.<\/p>\n\n

Michael\u2019s music may be rooted in that tradition but it\u2019s also distinctly his own. In fact, during today\u2019s chat I asked Michael how his music lends itself to dub and new age music. I mentioned it because if you drew a Venn diagram Michael\u2019s music would touch upon those genres and more. While those elements are there or suggest those styles they\u2019re entirely Michael\u2019s and therefore unique.<\/p>\n\n

If you like Michael\u2019s live set, and I know you will, then I know you\u2019ll also will want to know about Headphone Commute<\/a>\u2018s compilation album, \u2026And Darkness Came<\/a><\/i>, which drops tomorrow. It\u2019s 10 bucks for over 75 tracks!<\/p>\n\n

\u2026And Darkness Came<\/i> features the world\u2019s top talent in ambient, modern classical and experimental music. Like I said, there are over 75 tracks on this album and features everyone from Ben Lukas Boysen<\/a> to Ezekiel Honig<\/a>. You\u2019ll really get your money\u2019s worth buying this album but the best part is not only do you get to listen to beautiful music, you also help support Doctors Without Borders and The Humane Society to help all those affected by Hurricane Sandy.<\/p>\n\n

HC wants to do good in the world while turning people on to good music.<\/p>\n\n

On next week\u2019s show I\u2019ll be playing select tracks from HC\u2019s compilation album, so stay tuned for that.<\/p>\n\n

See you then!<\/p>\n\n
