Album Notes

Interludes is Micah's 3rd CD and features 14 of his latest compositions. His gentle touch brings warmth to relaxing melodies and rich harmonies.
It has been two years since his latest recording and in that time Micah's compositional style has grown and matured much with more content and meaning behind each song. Micah's first two CD's Memories and Willing focused more on improvisation over a few themes, while Interludes relies more on static melodies and less improvisation.
From an early age Micah has been told that he has been blessed greatly in music. He received loving support from his family to develop his gift. This led Micah to dabble in writing music but it wasn't until high school that Micah started seriously composing for the piano. Just after graduation,while he was 18, he recorded his first CD Memories. A year later he recorded Willing, but it took him more than 2 years to decide that his style had matured enough to record again. Interludes represents a large step in Micah's musical growth and he is very pleased with the result.
Each of Micah's CD's has been met with overwhelming support in his community, and elsewhere as his customers keep spreading the music to their friends and families.
Lately Micah has been majoring in music at the University of Oregon where many different musical influences have stimulated him into expanding his writing and playing style. Music continues to be the main focus of his life and seems to be the direction God is leading him. Micah is a full-time student at the University of Oregon majoring in Music. He also teaches piano lessons (12 current students), accompanies musical theater for the Pleasant Hill Community Theater and works part time as a lifeguard for Willamalane Recreation District. On weekends he plays piano for the worship services at Pleasant Hill Baptist Church where his father is the pastor.
Micah's mother Carol put him into piano lessons at the age of seven, taking classical training from a great teacher Marilyn Reischke. He continued to play through high school in the Pleasant Hill jazz bands and choirs, and he also accompanied musical theater for Spotlight Theater. Micah had always dabbled with improvisation and simple song writing but began to seriously study these skills through his senior year at Pleasant Hill. Many of Micah's friends encouraged him to take his playing one step further and record his playing on CD, which is what became Memories. Over the years his compositions have progressed much in depth and content and are still evolving.
