I live in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. I play trumpet, flugelhorn, guitars and synth. My favourite style of music that I produce is called "space jazz". My space jazz is improvised and composed; usually restful and contemplative; and sometimes comes from deep space.

Around the turn of the century, on the old mp3.com I managed to collaborate with many musicians all over the world sharing our files over the internet to produce our music together. One such musician was Shigero Toonoka (Cari). I eventually visited him in Tokyo where we recorded music that to this day remains some of my favourite space jazz.

In 2006 I produced a cd for Joelle Gilmour. You can hear samples of our work together at: http://www.joellegilmour.com

Mike Fijal and often various collaborators: Andrew Glover, Gregg Dunstan, Tom Foster, Ed Patterson, Shigero Toonoka (Cari), Jamie Philp, Sheldon Zandboer, Darin Morely and many more.
