Michael Elliott has been involved with keyboard driven music since the 1980's. He was lead singer and lyricist for the alternative/industrial band Octobre Theatre. The group disbanded in 1991 and Michael has been working as a solo artist and collaborator ever since. Changing musical direction he began exploring ambient music as a result of his earlier discovery of works by musicians in the genre, particularly pioneer and groundbreaker Brian Eno. Elliott's compositions have evolved through the years and he has become one of the most interesting multimedia performers on the scene today. His shows are described as both environmental and meditative, blending soundscapes with video art. His music has also been used in medical facilities, healing services and as a soundtrack for independent film. As a composer he uses synthesizers, a macintosh laptop and virtual software to create montages that send audiences on blissful journies through time and space . His latest works cross the boundaries of electronic, jazz, dance and world music. As (aka) DJ Global, he is a notable dance floor sensi on the world music stage, mixing a playlist of multi-cultural music from various artist, while creating a festive and unified atmosphere. Michael can be seen performing at coffee houses, concert halls, hospitals, churches and festivals. Contact Michael for bookings and sound production services.
