One more day in the empire

John Mark Sherlock studied composition at the University of Western Ontario with Jack Behrens, Arsenio Girón and David Myska. His works have been played by many of Canada’s finest performers and ensembles including Arraymusic, Eve Egoyan, Marc Couroux and Ensemble KORE. Also, he has written original music for dance or had works used for choreography by Marie-Josée Chartier, Heidi Strauss, and Shannon Cooney for Dancemakers, amongst many others.
With composer eldritch Priest, he formed the composer’s ensemble, neither/nor. John has, at various times, received the kind support of the Toronto Arts Council, Laidlaw Foundation, Canada Council for the Arts, Ontario Arts Council and the Chalmers Foundation.

Sherlock’s work is remarkable for it’s use of electro-mechanical keyboards and organ dating from the ’60s and ’70s. He is likely unique in his extensive use of Rhodes and Wurlitzer electric pianos, Hohner Clavinet/Pianet and Hammond organ in ensemble and via his abstract aesthetic.
