Greek composer George Mikhail has
released his newest LP record album, titled, “Our Mind.” The
record is comprised of nine tracks for a total of 40 minutes'
listening time. It is categorized as neo-classical, electronic, or
new-age music, the latter perhaps being best suited stylistically,
though Mikhail does not espouse any obvious philosophies to accompany
the listening. Its title may hint at a collective consciousness or
psychological principle, but “Our Mind” is entirely a work of
musical art, and even genius.
“This
album is an aural mosaic of the positive aspects of the human nature
and the potential of 'Our Mind' in this new millennium,” says
Mikhail, himself.
Mikhail's new album is an ambient,
spacious work of sound that showcases the natural beauties of the
inner mind by suggesting atmospheres and scenarios. The listener
hears tribal, native sounds such as ancient percussion instruments
and tropical birds. These are accompanied by digital beats and synth
effects like those used by psychedelic bands, such as Pink Floyd and
Yes, for a mix that is ethereal, enchanting, intriguing and
comforting. “Our Mind” has moments of conflict, too, but Mikhail
does not dwell on these so much as to make the music tense or
melodramatic.
George Mikhail is an incredibly
well-schooled composer. He studied piano and composition at the Music
School of Athens, as well as at the Music Academy of Nice. He studied
piano at the Conservatoire de Paris, and musicology at the Parisian
University of Sorbonne. His first
official LP record album, “Perspectives,” was released in 1997
and republished in digital form online worldwide in January of 2013.
His music has been played on European radio and featured in
theatrical plays. He is a member of the SACEM and ADAMI of France as
a composer and performer, respectively.
He names as main
influences on his work the talented and popular likes of Vangelis,
Pink Floyd, Enigma, and Lisa Gerrard.
“Our
Mind” by George Mikhail is available online everywhere beginning
April 16, 2013.
