Note from Mark: That's the standard bio aproach-and if some corporate entity wants to pay for the use of some of these sounds as library or soundtrack, we are greatful. If the tone of any of this music tunes one soul and raises it above the depression and despair of everyday life, we are even more grateful. Audible is the continual cry of our own souls to awaken, to reach upward, to expand and bring out the best that is in ourselves. Satisfaction lies in the unfoldment of perfection.
