Editorial Reviews The album is split 7 / 4 between instrumentals and songs with lyrics, though on the later, I tend to use voice as just another instrument in the mix. Many of these tunes are of a more contemplative nature, soundscapes that evoke mood without (hopefully) devolving into the trite. Sometimes events call for a harsher view of the world, though....
Swim Through the Blue Sky
From the Artist
I play what I like to hear, and I try to do it with as many instruments as I can get my hands on. I love the textures of sound, and especially the characters of individual instruments. On this album you will hear the results of my explorations and experiments.
About the Artist
Michael lives and works in the San Francisco Bay area. He has been playing and recording music all of his life.
Album Description
"Swim through the blue sky" is an intimate, enveloping exploration of tone and texture. Exotic instruments such as harp, dulcimer, Japanese koto and Irish whistle mingle in sonic paintings. Driving hand percussion laced rhythms move the soul, and well crafted pop tunes stay in the mind. Michael La Guardia's music never fails to please or intrigue.
