my handwork:
I enjoy combining different materials in different ways, freely mixing hardwood, silver, glass, fabric, and stone. I like creating new designs, innovating, figuring, calculating how to manifest an idea. The process as well as the finished piece are equally fulfilling, with my mind, hands, and spirit working together on a path of discovery and fun. One piece leads to the dream of the next, but with a dose of reality in the form of what materials are on hand at the moment.
my music:
As with handwork, writing music is very much an iterative process of discovery as much as intention. Rest the hands on the fretboard, and see what comes out, listen, modify, strum it again…
The Music for Movies CDs reflect a heightened awareness of the power of sound over me, especially when I’m engaged in a movie or video. Bite sized pieces of moods, good for an imagined or real soundtrack, good for driving. I think the tracks are available on Spotify and SoundCloud. [purchase a CD online soon…] I’m also periodically posting videos to some pieces on YouTube, @mikeamadeo17. Vocal CD to come. 
my poetry/writing:
I do for fun – i love to write, and i want to do more of it.
