Templeton showcases the writing skills of Michael Charles Dirksen, who having played with various bands since the early 90's has built up a catalogue of songs that stretches far and wide. From playing with punk outfits, to folk music, exploring jazz, reggae and classical composers, Michael has slowly moulded his sound into what he likes to call ambient rock. Having completed the construction of a recording studio, Templeton is free to dive deeper into the musical abyss and to see whats on the other side. No live performances are scheduled yet, but the self titled album (Templeton) is available on all major music sites.
I love your music! I am wishing you the best of success for the future!
Sensationally my new album "Sky High" is finally available on Amazon! I hope you like it. Please let me know.
Have a great time!
Hey, Templeton, your site is amazing, and the music awesome. It's great for me to finally have found your site; I knew it was here, somewhere. I love all the new "experimental" music; keep it up. PS: the fish eagle's call will echo for some time yet . . . thanx for the comment. Go well Franx
i hope your summer has been a blast, really! mine has flown by so fast to be honest.
i appreciate your support through all of the thick & thin times this summer and i just wanted to say...
thank you. please accept this token of my appreciation. i have put up my first single, Saying Everything, for download. completely free, for a limited time :)
look out for my debut album release in early 2010, music video, merch and much more. i have also changed my musician name from '<3, but more than anything' to more of a solo feel as Braison Scott. :)
but most importantly, i'd love to hear about your summer moments. everything i do is based around the drive to inspire others. i'm asking for you to inspire me. =)
yours, braison <3 (formerly known as, <3, but more than anything)
Kudos on the last successful international gig you did. In music there are no borders or fences and soon they'll be chanting your name in Cantonese & Swahili!
The site is looking great. The lyrics are starting to echo in truth and experience. The music has evolved from experimental originality to recognisable TEMPLETON classics - overnight. Brilliant work, Michael sir!
Ey boludo, great pleasure of counting you in our virtual friends! if you let your ears on this site, you can discover our songs and our world! so have great fun and don't hesitate to come oftenly!;) nice to meet you on the road or maybe in a tavern! take care, kisses dedzu
Well, there I was happily just going to flick through your page and check out the news and lose pieces of something in the sentimental old when your vibe hit me. It's not quite like anything else out there and this is what makes it unique. A bit like Paul Q's vibe - out there, before and beyond. There's a gentle wave that keeps breaking throughout the shores of "Catch The Sun". It keeps laying gems and shells of mystical and magical mood at the ear of this listener. I feel like I should linger a while. Wait. Let me go fetch my headphones, deep-appreciation lotion, lyric reader and interpreter. The shadows are still far away. Thanks for letting the listener play a while in your vibe. MORE!!!!!!
