Album Notes

Mike B
Invisible Man
Guitar, Beatbox and Voice.
"Over the last few years, I have been exploring a technique where I play guitar, beatbox and sing simultaneously, writing music that emphasizes every element to my fullest ability. The songs on this record are not elaborate studio productions. I wanted to record a project that captured the music of my live performances with studio-quality sound. Most everything you hear is exactly as I play it in the club. Where you hear humming, I hum and beatbox at the same time. Generally when you hear lyrics or multiple layers, that's a pedal capturing my beats and/or vocals in real time - live samples. Occasionally the voice gets effects that drop it down to the bass register ('Hey, Wait'; 'That Feeling') There is a DVD accompanying the 'Invisible Man' CD which includes live performance footage, to show you it's the real deal.
"But more important than technique, I am trying to create music that spans a range of emotion and is, first and foremost, honest to my experience. I want to draw from so many musical influences that the whole concept of genre gets blurred; to create a space where we stop focusing on the things that make us different and come together over music. I hope that it moves you in some way. Love and peace."
"Overwhelming skill, almost too incredible to believe," says www.scissorkick.com
