about Harlan Michael


Harlan Michael’s innovative artistry brings together modern technology and creativity to form a New Generation of Music dedicated to the Harmony of Body and Spirit.

“Millennium Moods”, new contemporary instrumental music that bridges millennium bounderies with heartfelt moods is Harlan Michael’s latest 2000 release.

His 1994 release of “Life Above The Lightning” CD/tape, has met with considerable success as media for massage and relaxation. The music opens with “Cosmic River”, a blend of eloquent melody and space. “Other Worlds”, and “New Dawn”, are two beautiful and timeless orchestral-like atmospheres with lush strings that melodically weave a tapestry of profound serenity. “Meditation”, is an exquisite aural ambiance for healing and well-being.“Life Above The Lightning navigates deep into the heart with care and sensitivity, bearing a precious soundscape that connects the listener to the uplifting spirit of love, peace and tranquillity.”
Excerpt from Massage Magazine review.

In 1966 he journeyed to the Pacific Northwest as a member of a folk music group. He has worked as a disc jockey, and as a recording engineer on various jingles and album projects. Harlan found a new home here, amid the beauty of Mountains and Ocean. He is an avid climber and cross-country hiker. This Natural High is at the heart of his music, writings and visual arts.
