about

Rock Pools

The 2020 covid lockdown gifted me with lots of time to entertain my three kids at home, watching movies like ‘Honey I Shrink The Kids’ and playing on the rocks down at Portmarnock beach where we live in north county Dublin. The piece aims to create the feeling of flying
around rock pools as if a tiny drone speeding around the endless peaks and valleys of the shoreline. I enjoyed writing jazz inspired harmonic ideas between the marimba and clarinet, exploring melodic phrases that reflect the concept of the piece.

About Mike Brookfield

Mike began his career as a guitarist/composer playing on the early 90’s Liverpool band scene & progressed into performing in West End musicals & touring theatre productions by the end of the decade. He studied with world renowned jazz educator Charlie Banacos (2000-2009), big band arranging with Berklee Prof. Jerry Gates (2012-2017) & holds a first class M.Phil from Trinity College Dublin. Mike is a composer that feels equally at home writing for contemporary classical ensembles, Jazz & rock bands.
His second solo album ‘Love Breaks The Fall’ was released in 2015 to great acclaim & enabled him to break onto the blues rock scene internationally, ‘Brookfield’ followed in 2018 & the punky surf rock instrumental album ‘Hey Kiddo!’ in 2021. He is currently preparing for the release of his fifth album ‘Speedway’
