Last week had a great time @ the invadertron album launch.. http:/www.myspace.com/tronaudio1

at the moment i am working on completely my new EP - fuzzy at the edges.
it has taken alot longer to complete than expected, but this is a good thing, i have really put alot of time into these new songs, and i am making sure that the production level is up a notch this time and hopefully they come across with as much emotion and passion as i have put into them..its been a big journey this last year and i think this album really reflects everything thats been going on..
the new EP will be alot more live, and i am getting a few guest musicians involved this time too..
i'm also aiming to have a proper album launch when completed with limited edition versions available with special artwork, video and lots more .. it may not be a for a few months more, but hopefully sooner..

i have been super tempted to post some preview tracks, as i am amazing excited about the new sound that has come through this time..but i think the tracks for the moment will remain secret till alot closer to the launch date.

other than working ..i have had a few small, great gigs..around nz..meeting lots of great people along the way and learning lots..

also just recently, selections of my music (both released and unreleased) are now available for licensing purposes through :

and

also this month i will be release for free a selection of tracks that were previously written for live use only... this will be release in two packs..so keep an eye out for those downloads ..

other than that i am on the look out for any short film makers, vj's, animators, 3d artists..etc who would be interested in collaborating on some new projects..
if so get in touch @ straytheories [at} gmail.com

cool, well thats me for now,
next update coming soon
peace

Oceans Vol.1 - CD Review :

"John Lennon once sang "Turn off your mind, relax, and float downstream".
Stray Theories new ambient album "Oceans Vol 1" is definitely relaxing, but you wouldn't want to turn off your mind while listening to it because you'd miss so much of the beauty and intricacy of this wonderful album.
Although a nice float downstream might follow a set path, the ocean is a different kettle of fish entirely and full of strange and unpredictable currents. Ambient music this may be, but not without frequent reminders of the colder, darker waters that move beneath the ocean's often-tranquil surface.
Smooth textures, lush pads and full-bodied strings, piano melodies that are delicate and haunting. These are the trademarks of Stray Theories, a sound he has spent years honing and refining. And believe me, it shows - this is his finest work yet." Peter Lewis

Eyes Closed - CD Review :

"Micah Wolfe produces some of the finest ambient electronic music you will hear. With a strong sense of melody and rhythm, he creates musical stories that are sure to evoke memories of places and times past. Sometimes mournful, but always with a sense of beauty and hope. This latest release is more upbeat, with a slightly more contemporary urban feel and beat. The instrumentation and performances are outstanding, as is the overall production quality. If you havent discovered Stray Theories yet- do so now." Thom Brennan
