"Michael’s music is perfect for my yoga classes. His album The River flows perfectly from the warm up and breathing exercises through the asanas and to the restoration and relaxation during the sea. I love this album!”

"DeMaria doesn't just string together notes or progressions; he grabs hold of the listener and tells a story in phrases and notes that speak to more than just the ears. The introspective moments are full of quiet beauty, and the more cinematic moments are reminiscent of the sort of scoring you might hear in a movie like The Last Of The Mohicans or Dances With Wolves."

"Michael's flute work on this engaging music will hold your ears in the spell he's able to weave without doubt..Intimate, introspective and revealing are the best words I can use to describe what he does through his flute!"

Every note, whisper of flute, chant, drum beat and ethereal breath is a composition worthy of a master…The flute playing, ethereal sounds and chanting will whisk you away to a vacation of the mind and if you are like me, you won’t want to come back. 5 Stars”
