Union-Music For Lovers came
out this month. Michael went down the path of providing listeners seeking peace
with an option to attain that. He does accomplish his goal within his capabilities
and artistry.
Although
the title may suggest something else dependent on your outlook, it remains relevant. These are atmospheric and ambient sounds for
people to find a zone of comfort. And this can be accomplished in union or by
yourself, that is my belief, not necessarily anyone else’s. The union you achieve could be with yourself
and a higher power or existing on another plain of attainment for some time. It
truly depends on what you seek in the moment you start listening to these 11
tracks.
Michael
uses a combination of keyboards and other computer-generated sounds and beats
to create something that sounds like a flowing tapestry of beauty. It is a
slice of electronic heaven if you will. I know that may not sound very warm and
inviting however this music really is. He is a master at molding and shaping
these sounds into a magical wonderland of vibrations, colors and moods.
Union-Music For Lovers has
many different shades of light and an ever changing pace. You will hear ethnic
influences in his music as well, the kind that transport you. Those elements
are the things that make this such an eclectic and enjoyable journey.
What
Michael Stribling accomplishes is quite difficult, considering how he gets it
all done and without help or support from anyone else. Union-Music For Lovers is a marvelous achievement of ambient and
electronic new age instrumental music.
