As solo electronic artist eMBee, he has performed with laptop computer and modular synthesizers in the US, Berlin, Shanghai, and Krakow.

Cloud Chorus is the followup to Birdsongs of the Mesozoic guitarist Michael Bierylo's 1986 release Life Line, available on vinyl for the first time since its original 1987 pressing. The album features ethno-jazz pioneer Matt Darriau on sax and flutes and explores a rich tapestry of sound bridging the gap between New-age music and ECM Jazz. Cloud Chorus is being reissued by Fruit Street Records alongside 1986's Life Line, both of which have been remastered by Bierylo for this pressing.
From the artist: Early in my career as a musician I developed a passion for composition, recording technology and the guitar. The music on Lifeline and Cloud Chorus represents my way of bringing all of these together at a time when I felt the need to establish some sort of voice as an artist. The work grew from my time making demos on a 4-track portastudio in Boston and Berlin as well as countless hours playing acoustic guitar in the Boston subway system. From this, I learned the value of making the most from limited technical resources. Traveling has always been a passion of mine, and the work on both records reflects the spirit of adventure, curiosity, and discovery that I have experienced. All of these values continue to inspire me as I explore the possibilities of electronic music and live performance."
