ailing from Yucca Valley, California, USA. Michael Mucklow released his
second CD "The View From Here". His first CD "Clearly" got critical acclaim
from the audience and the press. Michael Mucklow got inspired by guitarists
like Will Ackerman, Michael Hedges and Acoustic Alchemy among others. The
alternate tunings brought him the ability to play all moods and musical
diversity he was looking for. The outcome is overwhelming, his new CD "The
View From Here" shows us a very creative acoustic guitarist who shows
fantastic skills on an acoustic guitar. Mucklow is a creator of atmosphere,
with a soothing and relaxing setup which takes one on adventurous journeys
of the unconscious mind. He builds noteworthy compositions, full of melodic
skills, structure and balance. Beautiful ballads like "Phosphor,
"Mysterium", "Released", Color of The Morning and "Balm" shows us he is very
connected to nature and the universe with great introspection and
reflection. Michael Mucklow brings us as well delightful guitar music which
at times chills one out.
