Hi, I’m Michael K. Eidson, and Mystic Sounds is my blog for music and music-related topics. I’m a software engineer with a passion for music. I even listen to music while I write software; it helps me focus. I remember the days of listening to Casey Kasem and the American Top 40 radio show back in the 70s and watching MTV in the 80s. I still listen to a lot of the music from those days. Some newer music also catches my attention occasionally. I favor female pop artists, but I listen to a decent variety of other music, too, so expect to find posts from me about music old and new across various genres by groups and solo artists of both genders. Just don’t expect to see many posts about rap (there are a few).

My son, Andrew, is a moderator for this site. He does all updates and backups, and writes guest posts. He’s still in college, working on a Public Relations major. He’s also a noise musician, and has released more than a few EPs under the name SNMT, which stands for “Say No More Tongues.” When he started with SNMT, he didn’t include any vocals, and hence the choice of artist name. After he decided to include some vocals, he switched to the acronym, SNMT. If you like noise music, you can find SNMT on Amazon and bandcamp.
