The end result is inspired and original songcraft.
"Vital Therapy"
The world would never know healing if not for the power of music. Mark seeks to make its curative powers come alive with his emotionally charged songwriting. “Music is vital therapy,
both for the artist and for the listener,” he declares. With his songs he reaches out to the listener, offering both solace and entertainment
and finding a place beyond the physical in which musician and audience can coexist and energize through the power of rhythm. “As an
artist, music has been a saving grace throughout my entire life, enabling me to therapeutically release otherwise hidden emotions and frustrations. As a listener, it’s pulled me through bouts
of depression, set the mood for unforgettable
experiences and continuously sparked my own creativity.”
"Fear"
Fear is a tremendous force for positive, driving us to improve our lot and seek out higher goals. "Fear may be my main inspiration – fear of
harm befalling my family, fear of failure, fear of mediocrity and fear of poverty." Of course, with talent such as Mark's, some of these fears
will surely prove to be hollow ones. But his willingness to face the darkness and find there motivation for his art has only enhanced and enriched his songwriting, making for music with
depth.
"The Artist at Work"
As of early 2008, Mark has so far released 13 CDs in the course of his career (some under the pseudonyms The Marksman and MARQUIS [pronounced mar-KEE]). He has also scored his own
independent films, as well as providing music for 1998’s horror opus "5 Dark Souls: Part 2". The
online soundtrack for "Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2" also boasted a track by Mark (as MARQUIS). He’s since put all this "shadowy" material behind him in order to focus on children's music. He states, "The birth of my son,
Eryk, has completely transformed me. It's time to use my creative talents in a more positive and uplifting way, and the children's market is just where I need to be." Besides writing children's songs, Mark also writes children's literature in whatever free time he can find. |
