The focus for Michael has remained to paint a compelling picture with each song that creates a "visual" in the mind of the listener. This approach has surely made Ego Decimation Profile a powerful statement in the world of instrumental rock.

Michael's compositions are great songs that have outstanding guitar throughout. The tracks are not just platforms for Michael to "show off". In the tradition of all the great Rush/Dream Theater instrumentals, the guitar is merely a part of the whole. Of course, when it is time for Michael to shine he takes no prisoners! Showing excellent phrasing, vibrato and variance in speeds, Michael never fails to surprise and amaze.
