Island of Anywhere CD by Mike Howe offers gentle instrumental guitar music, backed by keyboards, bass and drums for relaxation music, spa music and yoga music.
Mike Howe's Island of Anywhere is nominted for 2011 Zone Music Reporter awards: "Best Instrumental Album - Acoustic."
Nominated for best new artist in 2009, and Best Instrumental Acoustic album in 2010, Mike Howe has made a good start to his career in the world of contemporary instrumental music.
"My desire with my compositions is to create soothing, melodic and catchy tunes that are presented simply, as an antidote to an oft-chaotic world filled with complexity. The guitar gives the melodies an acoustic clarity, allowing listeners to imagine themselves wherever they want to go, to their own personal Island of Anywhere." --Mike Howe
Mike’s debut album Time Stands Still was described as “humble, heartfelt and strikingly beautiful”, and his second album, Round River "once again underscores (as did his debut last year) his incredible talent in composing and playing gentle instrumental guitar music that seems to flow almost effortlessly, carrying the listener away on soothing waves of melodic and catchy tunes."
Mike is an ecologist and has worked for many years in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, which lies on the southwestern tip of Wales and is a place where big Atlantic swells wash up on some of the most stunning beaches, cliffs and islands in the world. It has been this interaction and enjoyment of nature and people that has inspired the music that Mike is now writing.
Mike’s influences span many genres of music, and the sound he has developed on the acoustic guitar, backed by keyboards, bass and drums, which he also plays, reflect folk traditions and conjure up emotive images of nature and landscapes.
