    Artist History
    Mike owns Headtrap Music and spends most of his time recording bands and developing the business. He has helped numerous bands record their demos and CDs, and has produced award nominated compilations as well as nationally distributed artists. In between, and sometimes when clients/artists cancel their recording slot, Mike makes use of the warmed up machines and the time in the studio for his own music building. Formerly leader of Blood Fruit and lead guitarist for such diverse artists as hard rockers GSS and (techno-blues band) Big White Light, he takes all styles of music and blends them into a retro amalgamation of modern sounds. With blues and pop as the foundation Mike scales the walls of harmony and production into his own futuristic planet rock. He continues to help local San Diego artists as well as occasionally slipping into the studio and building his own "little rock symphonies." Headtrap now runs a full 16 track, 48 input console studio with automation and CD mastering. But some of the Time of the Signs material was squeezed out on the old studio's 8 track. Perfect for demo and writing work, the creativity was quickly captured. Others were "bounced" from the eight track to the sixteen track, then built up again. Songs were then mastered and converted to MP3 on hard disk on our neat new Pentium. Albums: as Blood Fruit - Major*Mystic*Cool ('93), Big Band Blood Bath ('95), Little Big Band('96); What Happened at Lake Ariana? Comp; with Big White Light - Evolve Through Kinetics('90), Rose Garden ('92), Crime & Melody (not yet released); with GSS - Fistful of Churro ('97); Token Girl - Ties.

    Press Reviews
    "State of the home studio art... Mike does amazing things with his music and production. Great guitar sounds and use of effects and reverb... Done on an eight track but sounds like a pro 24. " - Michael Laskow, Recording Magazine" What's in the mix? A little pop, rock, disco (yes, I said disco), funk, classical and folk. I believe they are happy ... making music any way they damn well please." -F*%$ Yeah! "A standout local label" - Robert J. Hawkins, San Diego Union Tribune "This (Lake Ariana/Lil Big Band)is worth some cash" -Icuras was Right "Michael doesn't play guitar, he sings through it." -Rodney 'D', Plus Megazine
