Don't die with the music still inside you.
-Florence Littauer
Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.
-Berthold Auerbach
Music is your own experience, your thoughts, your wisdom. If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn.

The pause is as important as the note.

Confidence in nonsense is a requirement for the creative process.

I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.
-Albert Einstein
While one should always study the method of a great artist, one should never imitate his manner. The manner of an artist is essentially individual, the method of an artist is absolutely universal. The first is personality, which no one should copy; the second is perfection, which all should aim at.
-Oscar Wilde
A man should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a fine picture every day of his life, in order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful which God has implanted in the human soul.
-Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
...[T]he creator had made man in his own image, and that meant that every man and woman who dwelt under god's light was a creator of some kind, a person with an urge to stretch out his hand and shape the world into some kind of rational pattern.
-Stephen King, The Stand
As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world - that is the myth of the atomic age - as in being able to remake ourselves..
-Gandhi
The Caterpillar cannot understand the butterfly.
- Timothy Leary
I think it's probably a good thing to be considered stable, but with a capacity for madness.
-Wayne Coyne, The Flaming Lips
Psychedelics are probably responsible for every aspect of human evolution apart from the decline in bodyhair.
- Terence McKenna
You don't love a woman because she is beautiful, she is beautiful because you love her.

Funky beats, and something for everyone. A sea of organized distortion, corrupted elegance and electronic hip-hop blended together for your drinking enjoyment. Mic Mell has been experimenting with different styles of music for over ten years. Having recorded and gigged with projects spanning funk, reggae, hip hop, jazz, rock, latin, and electronic of all styles (to name a few), he is always searching for the fusion of the many sounds and feels of live music with the glitches and clicks of the digital realm. Always involved with a variety of musical projects, Mic strives to create music that is not easily pigeonholed by genre, and stays true to a danceable nature. In addition to having several original musical projects, Mic creates music for films, TV, and actively works with other artists in having their musical visions realized.
He has a passion for the music business. Specifically, the fundamental shift in the way music is created, bought, and enjoyed. The music industry is evolving, and while method of delivery is an important consideration for music revenue, the music itself can still carry the day. He is actively involved in the independent music scene, the primordial ooze where new music and styles are born and bands evolve into tomorrow’s stars. He also runs Polyvibe Records, presenting a different model for artist development, releases, and promotion.
Through his Visions Fulfilled project, Mic empowers artists, musicians, labels, and music and new media companies to success by working with them to create structures for fulfilling on goals and the step-by-step plans to get there, and training and development in powerful communication, professionalism, leadership, team dynamics, and building and maintaining relationships. Mic is a firm believer in the power of community, and connects people and organizations together to create a web of success.
Never content to be a one trick pony, Mic is always searching for new musical, business, and educational experiences, and he is a firm believer that one's life defines the tone of one’s art. Mic is committed to bringing your project to the next level. Mic is a team player who brings enthusiasm to any project. If you are up to something in entertainment, Mic can make a difference in your vision coming to life.

Check it out! I wrote a free book on music production! It's for total beginners, but if you aren't new to music production, maybe you'll still learn something... at least you can send it to your friends who always want to ask you a billion questions about music production! It's totally free too; my goal with this is to accumulate as many BFF's as possible.
Dunno if we ever properly thanked you for your stellar organ work on A Delicate Bashing. So, Thanks! Also, thanks for rocking live with us in O-town. We love you big.
Mic Mell is the scrambled eggs in the breakfast of the morn. garlic-infested. ripe with energy. coated with melted cheese. Hooray for eggs! Hooray for garlic! Hooray for energy! Hooray for melted cheese! Hooray for breakfast! Hooray for Mic Mell!
