ABOUT

Mike Heimburger grew up surrounded by music of all kinds, from 4-part Barbershop harmony to Rock and Country.  But it was listening to the soundtracks of John Williams and James Horner that first stirred his passion for film music.

​

Mike began creating short films and composing their scores in Junior High.  In High School, Mike co-founded Second Tuesday Productions and created and scored his first feature length animated film, "The Adventures of Oog and Og."

​

While attending Alma College, Mike produced and scored a live-action Horror/Comedy, "Fowl Play."  On the heels of this Mike starred in and scored music for the short film, "Blood Runs Cold," which won Best Short Film and Best In Show at the Central Michigan International Film Festival.

​

Mike also played keyboards, bass, and guitar in several performing rock bands while living in Michigan and Iowa, including Mistreated, Holy Grail, Holiday Road, The Loft Lizards, as well as founding Metropolis, Michigan's only Dream Theater tribute band.

​

Mike and his four children now live in Sparks, Nevada. Mike is working with the Beyond Skyrim modding project composing new music for the province of Argonia (Black Marsh).  Mike is also working with the Minecraft Middle Earth team creating Lord of the Rings inspired music for exploring Middle Earth.
