Album Notes

Eighteen selections of Mark's unique blend of contemporary classical and futuristic electronic music are smoothly structured into a sixty-minute suite; while five, evocative space poems--created by accomplished poets, recited by professional actors, and underscored by Mark--chronicle the thoughts and emotions of a lone space traveler spinning deeper and deeper into the cosmos.
