Album Notes

The electric bass guitar will never be thought of the same way after experiencing the lush musical landscapes presented in Mark Roberts' inaugural solo effort. "Voyage" presents a unique collection of emotive and melodic compositions using extreme extended-range 7 and 8-string electric basses as the principal instruments. Powerful sub-contra to delicate piccolo bass stylings accompany majestic synthesizers and mesmerizing percussion to weave a fabric of instrumental aural ambience to be enjoyed as a focused listen or as relaxing sonic wallpaper.

"Voyage" will guide you to and through the legendary island of "Atlantis", down the streets and to the beaches of "Provincetown", across the mighty sea on a "Maiden Voyage". Witness a miracle in "To Dance with Whales", embrace love in "A Lady Lost", enjoy the bounty of "Pirate's Passion". Experience the majesty of "The Deep Blue", accompany "The Talisman" from madness to serenity, then finish with a trek "Into the Sun".

The "Voyage" collection is a result of Mark's artistic diversion from the world of commercial ensembles and years of experience developing his unique "voice" using custom designed and artistically hand-crafted extreme extended range electric basses. We hope you will join others who have welcomed "Voyage" into their world of entertainment.
