Mike has a raw talent for making music with unorthodox objects. Starting a one-man band named "Alchemy", there is a single from the album "Something From Nothing", wherein Mike combines his own vocals, an empty beer bottle, a 2-liter empty bottle of soda filled with rice, an empty bleach bottle, and his desk.
...while singing in different languages.
This song is his tribal remix of "Forces" by Susumu Hirasawa, a song from the Japanese anime, named Berserk.
Michael also designs the cover artwork himself. He would have involved other instruments that he taught himself how to play, such as the guitar and violin, but he didn't have those on-hand at the time.
