A full spectrum sonic exploration into the inner workings of the human experience... one theme at a time.
Michael Alan Hams is a drummer/percussionist, composer/performer, poet/producer based in the Hudson Valley’s rolling farmlands outside of Red Hook, NY. He and his wife, Laura Zarougian, collect records, put on shadow puppet shows, write and perform music, and love taking road trips—along with the mixes they make that accompany them along the way. Michael’s original music can be found on Bandcamp.
