Based in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, Michael Thomas Roe
(b. 1962) is an electronic composer and musician with 
more than twenty CD releases to his credit. Three of those 
CD's are collaborations with electronic music pioneer 
Conrad Schnitzler (Tangerine Dream/Kluster). The three
CD's are “Mi.T.-CON 04” “Aquatic Vine Music” and 
"MIC & CON 07" (www.myspace.com/mitconmusic). 

Additionally, as one half of synthesizer duo Touchxtone
(www.touchxtone.com), Michael has completed twelve CD's.

In his association with TEKSOUNDS and Sounds For Life, 
Michael ushers in a new era.  His first release “Cathedral” 
is a blending of lush synthesizer, orchestral and piano 
arrangements, by turns ambient and romantic, with the 
natural sounds of the forest. Shimmering sonic textures 
give way to playful rhythms. Thunder crashes in the distance. 
Church bells peel in the night.  And rain gently falls on the 
forest floor. 

Michael: "I contributed to three CD releases in the mid-
nineties co-composing music for Rising Star Records'
"Music in Harmony with Nature" series.  I'm happy to return
to the genre with TEKSOUNDS and perhaps lend a more
distinct and personal approach. A little more experimental,
a little more melodic, a little more forthright.  At Rising Star
we were always worried about the music overwhelming the
nature sounds.  In "Cathedral" I think I have a better balance.
The forest really is a cathedral; and in putting together
"Cathedral", I had, in my mind's eye, the blending of the
rocks and granite that compose the physical structure of a
church with the vines and foliage of the forest.  Add to that
the cathedral's churchbells with the bird song, the streams,
the sounds of nature and you have a pretty solid inspiration."
