Mikkele

Mikkele is a piano project where music moves quietly between stillness and emotion. With a style that is often minimalistic and sometimes deeply introspective, the compositions leave space for silence to speak as much as the notes themselves. Each piece unfolds gently, built from motifs that repeat, shift, and breathe, creating a sense of calm reflection. Mikkele’s music moves through the nostalgic spaces where culture, memory, and artistic spirit meet. The songs can feel like fragments from another era — sometimes wistful, sometimes reflective, as if wandering through the concrete world of a famous novel where cafés, studios, and streets still echo with the voices of artists. Mikkele is the solo piano project of Michael Schacht. Through his social media presence on Instagram, Salon Blanc / Salon Noire, he not only shares the latest news about his own music and collaborations, but also highlights new releases and works by other ambient artists. By day, Michael works full-time as a board game designer and is best known for his award-winning game, Zooloretto.
