Here's a poem I just wrote to share with you:

Each note is a drop of rain
Each note is a ray of sunshine
Each note caresses the stars
And washed away the pain
then Time has lost its name by Mark Pinkus June 7th 2009


If you want to slow down the pace of your life in some way then this cd is made for you. It's about slowing the day down to smell the roses, admire the colors in the sky, watch the children play, feel the sun, watch the leaves swaying in the wind, contemplate the stars.....there is no need to rush to go anywhere...here, where we are, lets slow down a bit, and breathe into and with the moment...the message of this album is based on this thought: If we were to slow down the pace of our lives, I wonder what the world would be like.

Mark was just named Artist of the Month for May 2008 on the Canadian New Age Instrumental Satellite Radio network.
This cd was chosen as #2 on the top ten albums list for November 2007 on Canadian Instrumental/New Age radio. (total time of cd is 73:53) Also this recording was selected as the #1 new age cd on CBC galaxie radio for Febuary 2007 listen on the new age reporter's chart.
This Cd was performed on a beautiful Grand Steinway acoustic piano in front of sold out audiences at La Place des Arts in Montreal, Canada. This is Mark's first live cd recording.   
"The sound and production of the album is as remarkable as the playing. Another gorgeous string of pearls from the delicate hands of Mark Pinkus. His solo music outshines most others because the songs are so creative and listenable." Renee Gelpi, Galaxie CBC Satellite Radio Toronto, Canada.
"Very nice CD. It''s definately as good as any Windham Hill music. Just goes to show how much talent this city has." Mark Tremblay, Entertainment Editor, Montreal Gazette.

"I really enjoyed your album, and your music is very interesting. A refreshing listen!" David Nevue, Host/Producer of Whisperings Solo Piano Radio, USA.
The music on SLOWLY THE DAY GOES BY reflects the beauty and mysteries of nature, love and relationships, dreams, moods, travel and the quest for peace and tranquility.  Mark’s compositions are like sound paintings, creating picturesque images that take the listener’s imagination on a journey.  From one piece to the next, there is a totally different and unique story to be told and unraveled. 

Mark's secret is allowing the listener to discover on a personal and intimate level, what the music is all about.  Mark uses the entire spectrum of the piano to express the intensity and lightness of his compositions.

Mark Pinkus was born on the anniversary of Beethoven’s death. At the age of 7 Mark began composing music on his yellow acoustic piano. His first composition came to him while he was looking out his living room window, watching a black cat balancing on the window ledge as a rainstorm approached. 

"Slowing down the pace of the day is not an easy thing to do in this very fast moving world we all live in. Even slowing down just for a few moments can be a challenge. I sincerely hope that this CD helps get you in touch with that place inside you that makes you realize just how precious slowing down the pace of our day can be. Cherish these moments and carry the experience within you wherever you are. Have a wonderful musical journey and please let me know how it was for you." Mark Pinkus NAMASTE, and I WISH YOU A WONDERFUL DAY (OR NIGHT!) Mark Pinkus
