Michael has spent the last several years as an emerging artist developing his work, after 33 years playing as a spiritual practice. He has performed in Africa, Arabia, Europe and America. His encounter with the medicine ceremonies of the Peruvian Amazon triggered a sixteen month wave of virtuoso composition and the decision to begin playing publicly. Marjory Dow spent 32 years playing cello in a classical environment. A spiritual quest and desire to sing her own song gave birth through improvisation and composition, to a new relationship with her cello, Sebastian. Marjory’s voice and cello combine to produce a spontaneous outpouring that carries the listener to the heart of the sacred cello. Michael and Marjory began collaborating in 2007, leading up to a performing tour and the recording of Sprit & Space, Guitar & Cello, released in March 2008. Both Michael and Marjory have developed a virtuoso approach in their own music, and bring this to their performances. Their shows are a mixture of their solo pieces and duets of their original materials, including the Acoustic Psychedelic Chill style using various digital effects to transport the listeners into some very surreal spaces. Their approach is also good humored in the style of folk musicians, rather than the sometimes hard gravitas adopted by classical musicians.
