Latest review of "The Music of Michael Horsphol.

2. RUSH by Michael Horsphol for Ambient/Chill
“Possibly my very favourite artist on Ourstage (it’s a close call) is Michael Horsphol. Picking one of his tracks was extremely difficult but this, his latest upload, will hopefully lead you into an exploration of his magnificent talent. Every track tells a story and that’s what oftentimes moves me. Music is often like a journey and as such doesn’t necessarily end in the same place as it began. Also much of Michael’s music is a great showcase for our World/World beat music genre.
Having the access to extremely high quality tools is, as in many areas of life, no guarantee of a quality product. Not so with Michael. Track for track, I firmly believe that Michael is the most gifted composer on Ourstage and it’s a shame there isn’t yet a channel which can truly showcase his music. Words do not do justice to Michael’s music but then that’s not the proper order of things. Music goes where words never can. Just listen……….”

The Music of Michael Horsphol
Lu'Ella Unveiled: A New Earth Rising


Michael Horsphol brings us originally composed music in his 8 track CD entitled: Lu'Ella Unveiled: A New Earth Rising. He gives his inspiration to nature, the countryside of Northern Tasmania, Australia. Michael is inventive, using digital multi sampling of acoustic orchestral, ethnic instruments and choirs. Artwork, composition, mixing, and production is done solely by Michael who has completed soundtrack work for film productions.

The first track Lu'Ella Unveiled is an orchestral vocal journey seated in a dimly lit theatre simultaneously roaming the wilderness. Michael incorporates that soundtrack "feel" with additions of flutes, orchestra and vocals. It is reminiscent of nothing I have heard.

Gloria Natura is by far my favorite. This is a modern twist to the classical Ave Maria. This is the most calming peaceful song. Instead of taking away from old themes, as most modern does, Michael ADDS to this, bringing forth a "New World" quality that is missing in the original.

Blue Wings is stunning. This IS the gift of flight through music. The bass is full and rich, with a surround sound quick tempo as if you are in front of an orchestra. Listening to this sets me faraway over craggy embankments, on turbulent seas; to transcend this plane, inside a science fiction film, a forest glen, the sky. Blue Wings is a masterpiece.

Visit Michael by going to: http://www.michaelhorsphol.com/ and check out Lu'Ella Unveiled: A New Earth Rising. The jacket is phenomenal, emblazoned with a majestic sunset overlooking the vast sea. This CD is multi educational/cultural. It can be used for meditation, education in schools, college level digital track courses, and most definitely, for all spiritual enlightenment.

Lu'Ella Unveiled: A New Earth Rising is THE next soundtrack for a Major Motion Picture. This is fresh, exciting. It IS . . . Earth meets Cinema.

Stella Matutina by Michael Horsphol.
As a mother sings to her child, the music of Stella Matutina (Star of the Morning) is like a child's heart singing to the Divine Mother. Sung in Latin, it is sacred music giving life to what feels like an epic tale of love and devotion.
Michael Horsphol composes, plays, mixes and produces his own CD's and his abundance of talent is wonderfully displayed within this mix.
