Music and Media Focus

ATLANTIS RISING

Layers of mesmerizing synthesizer tones, ranging from deep space to deep sea blend with ambient guitar sounds that occasionally give way to soaring and melodic leads with rhythmic grooves on some songs. Featuring Michael Diamond’s artistry not only on guitar and synthesizers, but on sequences, samplers, and sound design. Along with very special guest Steven Halpern, whose record label distributes the album, Atlantis Rising is awash with intricate effects and lush textures that evolve, morph, and move around the soundscape, and was named “One of the best new releases of the year” by cdbaby.com.

INDIGO MOON

The sequel to Atlantis Rising features special guest appearances by Jefferson Starship and Rod Stewart keyboardist Pete Sears and ambient music pioneer Steven Halpern, whose label also distributes this CD. While always atmospheric and well-chilled, INDIGO MOON even more reflects the pulse of contemporary rhythms and electronica, with a touch of jazz, rock, and world music influences. Featuring guitar work that ranges from ethereal to electrifying, laced with layers of dreamy synthesizer textures, wisps of Enya-like vocals, and a variety of beats, INDIGO MOON is sonic alchemy.

DRIFTING DEEPER

This is the musical score composed and produced by Michael Diamond for a clinically-based sleep program CD.
“Drifting Deeper” is one continual instrumental composition, which provides a flow of gentle ocean waves and a subtle sonic tapestry that becomes slower and quieter as it evolves. It may also be useful for deep relaxation or meditation.

Along with bass, drums, and percussion, the album blends atmospheric and jazzy sounds, with a touch of rock, on all-original compositions that range from languid and dreamy to more groove-fueled flights that highlight the song writing talents of Martin and Scott.
