Original cinematic rock instrumentals from a UK guitarist and composer, drawing inspiration from the expressive styles of Gary Moore and Santana while forging a distinctive signature sound of his own.
Michael Alan is set to release his second studio album, Distant Echo, at the end of October, and it’s a deeply moving, impressively skilful and often euphoric, organic instrumental project, that’s a dream to lose yourself within.
Michael crafts evocative compositions rich in melody, expression and cinematic storytelling. Following the release of his debut album, Calling, Michael Alan returns with Distant Echo, a powerful collection of original instrumental works that further establish his distinctive musical identity.
Equally suited to the concert stage, sync licensing and contemporary streaming audiences, his music transcends the traditional boundaries of instrumental guitar music.
A fully self-contained artist, Michael maintains complete creative control of his work while delivering professional, flexible live performances and a catalogue poised for opportunities across film, television and media.
Michael’s guitar is his voice, and his music turns pure melody, tonality, dynamics and emotions, into blissful audio ventures. The universal language connects for its freedom from lyrics, the expressions raining down with varying sentimental directions, from the uplifting and energising, to the heart-breaking and provocative, and the new album is all of this at once.
Noting singles like the stunning In The Name Of (cinematic mix), the deeply moving Reflection (Remix), and the lightly fingerpicked then passionately distorted and cascading Broken already available to stream, the diversity and ability of the sound is unquestionable, and the upcoming album is already one that promises pure guitar energy and heart of a timeless and honest nature.
