Made for fun — Electro Pop at 115-120 bpm that hopefully makes you want to dance 💃🕺💃💃🕺🕺 A light-hearted fun song because Atlanta (A-Town) is fun, y’all — hot and humid 🥵 — but never dull. 

Composed digitally MIDI to DAW via VST instruments, all original, no AI, made by a human 

Available to download (.wav) if anyone feels inspired to collaborate for a remix, adding vocals or whatever. DM me if you prefer MP3.

Home to sports legend Hank Aaron and Braves baseball, southern cooking, tons of historical landmarks — from Centennial Olympic Park to the King Memorial Center — and history-makers, MLK, John Lewis, Jimmy and Rosalyn Carter to name a few, A-Town has neighborhoods of talented minds from all over the world. 

As the American South’s “Ellis Island”, our melting pot of metro neighborhoods makes us ATL strong and welcoming. As home to dozens of colleges and universities, Atlanta acts as a hub for higher education.

Night clubs? And hip hop? Oh yeah, we got that! A-Town is also a huge urban center for LGBTQ folks, so if you’re straight but not narrow, come, dine, and party with us!

115/120 bpm

Written in 2022, I ordinarily don’t compose above 100 bpm but A-Town needed a 2025 refresh — the beats fit ATL.

Summertime in A-Town

Delight

Water Energies

Se me tranco no meu quarto
À procura de uma resposta
Escrevo numa carta amassada
O que aconteceu
Os motivos são certos
Eles são concretos
Mas não se completam
Porque minha cabeça agora não deixa
Não deixa não
Eu não estou afim!

Vai te embora daqui
Não vê que a porta está 
Trancada e eu não quero
Que você apareça

Ruim, ruim, ruim!
Pensamento Ruim

Nem tudo que tenho
É suficiente, é correspondente
Evito o princípio
Quero o sacrifício
A chave joguei fora
Só vou sair
Quando conseguir
Tirar você
De mim

Vai te embora daqui
Não vê que a porta está 
Trancada e eu não quero
Que você apareça

Ruim, ruim, ruim!
Pensamento Ruim

Hey! Pensamento Ruim!
Eu não sou assim!

Pensamento Ruim

Where are U?

At The Gate (2025) Remastered

Well hello… are we having fun yet as we travel around the sun? First off, I do not know how to play piano. Bear with me on this. I am just learning hand and finger placement on the keyboard. I did not use any of that to do this song. Ha. A friend just gave me an older electronic keyboard that he dug out from all the dusty junk in his shed. So I have been noodling about and learning a bit of music along the way. I am also testing glass, as a percussion instrument. I already broke my favorite glass slide. (Just get a drum set Dude!) Hahaha. I am also exploring my vocal range, as an advanced beginner, when it comes to singing. You’ll hear that on this track, as the song is in a higher register than I am used to singing in. The first vocal stanza is just me finding my voice. Hahahaha. (I guess I need to try some pre-singing.) The recorder works but isn’t in the key of the song, so I had to wing in, insofar as melodies. That is what I like about music, these little creative explorations that develop into ‘music’. I had about an hour or so to lay this down… Outside summer distractions have cut into my music time. Hope you are all well. Thanks for dropping by, Mark

Failure To Launch

A laboratory with an open bar and floating altar. Come on in! 

Here are various solo and collaborative projects - songs, soundscapes, live looped solo guitar improvisations. 

This project used to be called "imaginary friends", but it became too real for that name, as did many of you.

I hope you enjoy something you find here. Do feel free to be in touch, you never know what might happen.  

I also invite you to attend @hypnopompetus, a duo project with the illustrious Cheesemont Paisley-Paisley https://soundcloud.com/sel-sync, and Fictive Sisters, a transatlantic band with  the incomparable Wheelwright https://fictivesisters.bandcamp.com/album/immaculate-distraction.
