"The Soothsayer's Advice" is the premier CD from composer Michael Dean Giamo. A smooth blend of New Age, Classical, and Jazz motifs, this melodic CD is comprised of mystical, restful and thought-provoking music as well as various rhythmic compositions. This CD was positively reviewed by PJ Birosek of Musik International in the July/August edition of "New Age Retailer" magazine; and the album went to the Number 1 spot on RCA's Cable Radio "Music Choice" in the Summer of 1997 as well as appearing on several 1997 Top-10 album playlists published in "New Age Voice." Michael performed an original and very visually-based show in the greater Philadelphia area to promote his music, with an eye to take it nationally someday. This CD continues to receive significant national attention on New Age and Jazz FM cable TV and radio programs.

Michael Dean Giamo, born and raised in the Philadelphia area, was classically trained as a pipe organist and pianist. In his early youth Mike became fascinated with pipe organs in particular, and as a teenager, with the help of his father, built a small 7 rank pipe organ in his parent's home.

He next apprenticed with Brantley A. Duddy Pipe Organ Builders of Skippack, PA, before settling after high school in 1973 at Austin Organs of Hartford, CT, where Mike learned much more about the fine art of pipe organ building, tonal finishing, and tuning. After entering college 4 years later Mike worked for two summers as part of a team rebuilding the Solo and Orchestral divisions of the great Wanamaker Organ in Philadelphia. His great love of ancient music, liturgical music, and more recently New Age compositions have inspired him to produce dozens of compositions of intriguing styles (with some utilizing his voice as "instrument") which led him to select sixteen of them for inclusion on his first CD.

Professionally trained as a medical and scientific illustrator, Michael became interested computer programming and computer-generated graphics and animation in the early 1980's and began computer-aided design consulting; and by 1984 decided to investigate sequenced MIDI music production as well. The combination of his various talents in graphics, video, and computer programming led him to pursue a career in various forms of interactive multimedia production - and by the mid-1990's - as a serious composer. Mike maked his living as the Director of Academic Communications at Drexel University, office of the Provost, and since 2005 as the Director of Web Communications for the Drexel University Earle Mack School of Law. He continues to design a wide variety of high-end and interactive web sites in the Delaware Valley.

Mike has completed production work on his next CD, called "The Invisible Color" which will be released at a future date. When he has time, Michael spends time painting in oils and watercolor dyes, and lately, writing songs and lyrics for acoustic guitar. Mike continues to involve himself in the pipe organ world, most recently donating his services to tune and maintain a 100+ year old one manual Johnson tracker organ at Trinity Episcopal Church in Swedesboro, NJ.
