Go Higher (Soundtrack ReMix)

Michelle Glaser — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 23:25:47 +0000

My Electronica song, ‘Go Higher,’ is from a demo I put out in 2010 called “Dance, Trance & Romance.” I have since re-vamped this song to include a greater strings presence, added some great drum loops from Logic Pro Studio 9, and a new synth track to boot.

I actually released this ReMix back a few months ago when it premiered on 90.3 FM KFAI – Fresh Fruit Radio, but I still wasn’t happy with the ‘final draft.’ I can now happily let you know that the FINAL version of this song is completed and up on iTunes, cdbaby, amazon, etc. I’m really pleased with the end result, after months of deliberating to get it just right!

Think ‘Pink Floyd meets Alan Parsons’ and then take a listen to “Go Higher (Soundtrack ReMix).”

Dance, groove or chill to this instrumental music…

Performing LIVE on Thursday, November 3rd!

Michelle Glaser — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 17:26:56 +0000

Hello! I have an impromtu performance on Thursday! I’ll be playing for the event “Spin Jam” which is held at The Four Seasons Dance Studio in Minneapolis. (1637 Hennepin Ave)

What you can expect to hear is some of my dance & trance music, as well as some groove/meditation songs that I have never published!

A Spin Jam is a bimonthly experiment in dance and play where a great diversity of individuals come together in a fun-filled environment to experience pure community. There are two rooms lined with huge mirrors: one is filled with DJ’s, Dance Toys, and Blacklight and the other room, without Blacklight, is filled with percussion instruments for ev…eryone to play. It’s like two worlds in one in which everyone is dancing, laughing, and playing together.

Music for The National Film Challenge – October 21-23, 2011

Michelle Glaser — Sat, 22 Oct 2011 20:43:34 +0000

The National Film Challenge is an exhilarating worldwide filmmaking competition from the creators of the 48 Hour Film Project and KDHX Community Media. The Premise: Participating teams have just one weekend to write, shoot and edit a short film or video. Film entries can be no longer than 8 minutes in length.

The Competition is currently underway! This weekend is all about writing a short film score for my team’s film entry. Composing is going very smoothly, thanks to the new equipment I purchased this summer: an Apple iMac, Duet Apogee (to link my keyboard) and Logic Pro Studio 9. Let’s take this to the next level…

Back to the studio!

New Music for “The Gay Mob”

Michelle Glaser — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 03:00:17 +0000

I’ve been in my studio lately composing some new music for a Theatrical Play due to start in January 2012. “The Gay Mob” is written by Equilibrium Media owner, Chris Durant, who also is the originator of the “Out Twin Cities Film Festival” held each year. I’m going to let The Gay Mob’s social media sites explain it best in their own words what you can expect from this promising play!

NEW CD Release “Co-Creating with the Divine – Piano Improvisations”

Michelle Glaser — Wed, 03 Aug 2011 21:33:36 +0000

Friends, I am happy to announce that my newest CD “Co-Creating with the Divine – Piano Improvisations” is now available for digital download at many online retailers, such as my ReverbNation store! Click on this link to find it: http://www.reverbnation.com/store/store/artist_477834?item_type=music

Also at cdbaby: http://www.cdbaby.com/artist/michelleglaser

or itunes: http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/co-creating-divine-piano-improvisations/id455050168

The songs from this CD were created ‘in the moment.’ In other words, on those nights when I came to my keyboard feeling inspired and not having any idea what to play other than my emotions…I hit record and just started playing. This is fresh, raw material tapped from universal source!

I would like to thank my partner Rowan Glaser, Tatiana Katara and Willow Teri for the inspiration on song 2 “Improv #2 Love’s Garden.” With your presence in our home that night, the night filling the room with tender darkness, your ears and hearts open to receive, the music came pouring into my hands with grace. I thank you.

New Music – Update

Michelle Glaser — Tue, 02 Aug 2011 21:35:10 +0000

Well, life is a learning curve, right? I now know to check all avenues when releasing new music! This is the first time I have individual songs that are over 10 minutes in length. On-line retailers have specific guidelines for artists who sell on their sites. So, after much reading and uploading…my new CD “Co-Creating with the Divine – Piano Improvisations” will soon be available! It will first appear on itunes and cdbaby, and the other stores are soon to follow. Just takes a little time. In the meantime, here is a sneak peak at the album artwork!

Thanks for your patience folks. I look forward to your feedback to this new music which is very dear to my heart. I literally was in a place of love when I came to my keyboard and created these, as some of them were composed on nights that dear friends were visiting. They are relaxing, peaceful and full of divine inspiration. I hope you enjoy!

NEW MUSIC releases coming soon!

Michelle Glaser — Fri, 29 Jul 2011 16:54:15 +0000

Hello There! I’m excited to let you know that I will be releasing some new music very soon! They will be single downloads rather than a full-length cd. I’m creating two new series of music:

1) “Co-Creating with the Divine – Piano Improvisations by Michelle Glaser” This set of single downloads will be songs that were created In the Moment. In other words, on those nights when I came to my keyboard feeling inspired and not having any idea what to play other than my emotions…I hit record and just started playing. This is fresh, raw material tapped from universal source.

2) “Meditation Series – The Journey Within” This set of single downloads will include music with layered tracks/drums, strings, sitar, exotic bells…Just the right mixture of sounds to get you in your ‘zen’ mode. Each song is 30 minutes in length and geared to be played during yoga, art, dance or massage.

I will keep you posted as to when and where these are released, in the meantime feel free to click on my ‘Services’ or ‘Soul Songs’ tab to read about what else I have to offer you. Thank you!
