West Coast recording artist Michael Maricle began creating music at the age of four when he first sat down to play the piano. He was born in Los Angeles in 1969 and grew up on the Central Coast of California, where he studied classical piano and cello. He went on to study Music Composition at UC Santa Barbara College of Creative Studies. At school he spent most of his time learning about synthesizers, samplers and computer music, at a time when music technology was really starting to take off.

In 1995 Michael moved to SF and formed an electronic jam band called Padma, playing improvised electronic music at obscure parties in the SF underground electronic music scene between 1995-2000. During this time Michael completed his first solo album, Dreamelodia, a melodic ambient journey especially suited for yoga, meditation and relaxation.

In 2001 Michael moved to Seattle and began working with Seattle based Oracle Gatherings, composing music, performing and DJing.

In 2005 Michael studied with world-renowned sound healer Tom Kenyon. In the same year Michael released “Breakthrough”, a Hemi-Sync release with the Monroe Institute, a CD designed to enhance creativity, learning and focus.

In 2009 Michael will release “Reflections” as a reintroduction to the music of Michael Maricle, including his most recent down tempo tracks and some ambient tracks from the archives.
