Michael “Piano Squall” Gluck performs video game/anime music piano concerts to fundraise for charity.
Since 2003, Michael has given concerts in seventeen states to benefit organizations such as the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, Race for the Cure, Baltimore Reads, the Maryland Food Bank, the Matthew Foster Foundation, and Tsunami Relief. He has been a musical guest at thirty-one anime conventions, including Otakon ’05, A-Kon ’06, and Sakura-Con ’07. In 2008, Michael toured Brazil as part of the orchestral game music concert series Video Games Live, with performances in Brasilia, Curitiba, and Rio de Janeiro.
In 2007, Michael released his debut charity album, entitled GAME, which became the first video game/anime piano solo CD to be published by an independent musician. Proceeds from GAME benefit the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
Michael's music has been featured by IGN, MTV, Newtype Magazine, GamesRadar, GameDaily, The Otaku, Destructoid, VGMusic, RPGamer, RPGFan, The Armchair Empire, SquareSound, QJ, and Music4Games.
On his website, PianoSquall.com, Michael makes the sheet music of his original arrangements available for free download, with the option to donate to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.

The '...INBEAT Global Cookbooks Initiative...' is envisioned to serve as a vehicle that begins to address some dislocational imbalances that result from Global Food Shortages and Hunger. This effort shall culminate in the publication of Cookbooks that are simple and relevant to said Global Crisis. There would also be attempts to to draw attention to some of the causal factors. The end results are not expected to be yet another series of cookbooks per se.
Every Community Member is encouraged to submit Menus for the Cookbook, even if a person is neither a Cook and/or Chef.
Remember: + '...By taking care of '...Your Community...', you take care of yourself all the more...'
