Born in Flint, Michigan, Mark is now living on a farm in central Alberta, Canada, with his wife. He is committed to Permaculture, Sustainable Living, Rare Breed, Heritage Breed, and Exotic Livestock as a means of easing some of the impact we \"Humans\" have made on our home, Planet Earth. Of his work Mark has said “Musically I am trying to create a larger picture than say a body of work that is based on specific pieces. I have extended my composition palette to include such things as project names, piece titles, production values, and the seemingly apparent lack of them in some cases. All of these things work together to tell a larger story and to have a larger effect on the listener that will hopefully transfer into new realities in both the material and spiritual worlds.” “At times I will rework a piece several times creating several variations from it using different effects, instrumentations, timings, scales and temperaments. At times even naming the piece two or 3 different names or misspelling the name of the same piece and putting it out under those different misspellings. Although it is the same piece.” Some of Marks works include inaudible Binaural Beats and embedded within the music as well inaudible tones, such as Isochronic Tones, which have an effect on the subconscious mind. Marks goal is to help people break free of the reality that has been created for them or that they have helped to create that may be a little constricting. He believes that Music and Art can be a means of changing reality into a more beneficial existence. Mark says “My concern is not to produce pieces that fall into a shiny little tune you can listen to whilst driving to the beach or a piece to listen to an orchestra belt out at the symphony. The pieces are meant as transitional doorways to be experienced in more intimate settings, as interactive tools for cleansing the doors of perception if you will.” “The pieces are at times scary, at times humorous, at times loving. I guess I have taken on the role of a trickster to help you realize things within yourself and the music I create is only a catalyst for that purpose.” Warning: Some pieces are not suitable for listening by persons with Epilepsy or Severe Nervous Disorders. Also, before listening with headphones I would strongly advise a pre-listen to make sure it\'s not one of the pieces where I play with the volume. ;) [code] [/code] [code][/code]
