Mike & Michi

There are more songs coming but in the meantime you can listen to the Mike & Michi version of Burt Bacharach's 'The Look of Love' which was popularised by Dusty Springfield and their version of that classic old song 'Baby it's cold outside'. There have been so many good and bad recordings made of this song over the years but their favourite is by Ray Charles / Betty Carter. You can also hear a song by Mike's group The Stone Ghost Collective called 'Grey Eulogy' which features Michi on vocals!
MIKE SMALL was a founding partner of the cult underground publishing house Sun Zoom Spark before being signed up by East West Records as a member of the experimental rock group Dawn of the Replicants. Over 10 years he helped write, record and produce 5 studio albums, a mini album and more than a dozen EP/Singles. The band were also privileged to be asked into Maida Vale studios in London to record 4 sessions for the legendary John Peel Radio 1 show. Mike was also given the opportunity by East West Records to hire an ensemble and take them into Abbey Road Studios to record his orchestrations for the Replicant’s songs ‘Love is a Curse’ and ‘Get a Bright Flame’. Mike’s new group is called The Stone Ghost Collective. They are busy recording a series of albums in their little studio up in the Scottish Borders town of Galashiels.
MICHI WIANCKO is a professional concert violinist who began playing at the age of 3. Originally from Southern California, she now resides in New York. A Juilliard graduate, she tours internationally as a soloist and chamber musician. She has appeared as soloist with the Los Angeles Philharmonic and New York Philarmonic, and plays in venues such as Carnegie Hall, The Kennedy Center, Library of Congress, Sydney’s Opera House, and Town Hall, among many others. Michi began singing in the shower at a young age. She went public with it a couple of years ago (the singing, not the showering), and now composes, arranges, sings and plays for her project Kono Michi which consists of 2 violins, viola, cello, upright bass, drums, and electronic samples. When she’s not running around like a crazy person doing all of the above, Michi’s favorite thing to do is sing and record songs with Mike :)
