POP | AMBIENT | SPACEROCK | EXPERIMENTAL
the #person : Michael Ash Sharbaugh is a #composer , #singersongwriter , and #instrumentalist from the US. Since 1985, he has released hundreds of recordings in numerous genres, but is known primarily for producing #atmospheric #pop, #spacerock, #ambient, and #experimental #musics.
the #sound : Michael's #melodious , #pop -ish , #spacerock sound marries the #sexy #moody -ness of #darkwave #electronica and #triphop #psychedelia: #bass - #heavy #rhythms root #dizzying #swirls of #synthesizers, alongside what he calls his 'found sounds.' His #ambient and #experimental #musics, on the other hand, are #soothing, and, at times, #alien to the ear: they #float and #shimmer, #meander, and -- more often than not -- #haunt.
the #influences : Duran Duran, The Weeknd, Blondie, Depeche Mode, Billy Idol + Steve Stevens, Stone Temple Pilots, Dead Can Dance, Siouxsie & The Banshees, This Mortal Coil, Air, Naked Eyes, Tears for Fears, Alice in Chains, John Barry, Leslie Bricusse, The Chameleons [UK], Brian Eno, The Cocteau Twins, ABBA, The Bee Gees, Claude Debussy, Frederick Chopin, Guillaume de Machaut, Early Music, Renaissance music, Baroque music, and Joe Meek.
