| About Michael Dyer |
|
Michael Dyer is a songwriter/singer who, over the years, wrote songs just for his own pleasure. Then, in 2006 he acquired a new laptop with song-arrangement software. The end result is that he released 3 CDs in 2007: Nothing Seems Like What It Seems, Our Unwinding Time, and Aboriginal Angel, all of which fall into the folk-rock/soft-rock genre. Most of Michael Dyer's songs feature poetic lyrics, warm vocals/harmonies, well-defined bass themes and drum rhythms, subtle guitar picking, ethereal keyboard, and dual-guitar leads. Some listeners have described some of his songs as "mystical rock" since those songs (e.g. The Trek) involve a search for enlightenment. Many songs are about love and relationships. In Our Unwinding Time the song of that title is about a love relationship unraveling as through time is going backwards, so the song features backwards music. In Aboriginal Angel, the cover song is about an Aboriginal Angel who plays rock 'n' blues on didgeridoos, so Michael plays a didgeridoo as a lead instrument in that song. Other themes in his songs include: war ('Mid Moss-Covered Boulders), age (Young Old Man), and destruction of the environment (EarthSong). In Feb. 2008 he released his fourth CD: Compli-intricated Life. As a hobby Michael enjoys glass-blowing. He employs techniques such as glass slumping, flame-working, glass casting and Venetian-style blowing. The covers of his CDs include images of some of his glass creations.
