slanting sunlight rays
a warm hazy afternoon
the forest to hear

Marc Sheridan is an ever-curious person who loves what is just around the corner: the unusual and the mysterious. Even everyday objects and scenes can always be viewed differently.

He is English but currently living in the US, and he always remembers what Ansel Adams once said, "You don't take a photograph, you make it." Marc believes that photography rewards him with a greater connection to everything around him.

Lately, Marc has been writing haiku, but he's not sure whether he illustrates his photos with haiku or reveals his haiku through photography.

He has been published in numerous magazines in the US and the UK and has exhibited up and down the West Coast of the US for the past 23 years.

Naviar Broadcast #372 – Spring dream… – Wednesday 18th June 2025

So sing the leaves of Willow.

Through signs that never arrive and streetlights that refuse to shine, light makes its way through broken streets and fading echoes. Veins of neon pulse in the shadows, fragile but enduring, while the mechanisms of silence turn ceaselessly. In this fragile geometry, illumination emerges not as brilliance, but as presence, gently carried, born of a silent persistence.

Breathless Geometry

Enter Night

A careful cartography of time and memory, where horizons gather dust and light slips between worlds; every moment here feels like a secret uncovered: a whisper that outlives its breath, a radiance that refuses to fade. Melodies slumber and then stir, folding dormant dreams into fragile patterns while shadows learn to speak in softer tongues. Names become small lanterns on distant shores, and strange places hold the weight of stories that never amounted to a bite. Listen as fragments of lost time recombine into a slow, patient architecture of echo and pulse: intimate, unhurried, and quietly insistently luminous.

When Shadows Speak Softly

I am still looking, trying and experimenting, I really like electronic ambient for many years, but it only works as a live percussionist. In short, nothing is black or white:)
In today's hectic world I need quiet sounds and the vast majority of songs created at night, so are my compositions such as they are.

My tracks is based on the absolute freedom of the use of sound. Arises as if I painted a picture. In the head is the base, and then adding the details here and there.
As well as if I were his music told the story.

I use: Ableton-Live-Suite with Partnerinstrumets, Kontakt Player + virtual instrumentzs,NI-Machine, Ableton Push, Acces Virus TI Snow, Waldorf Blofeld, AKAI MPK 49, Korg Microkorg XL+,KORG Kaossilator,Kaosspad,KORG Wavedrum, Roland HPD 20, nord lead A1 r, Yamaha mx49, Roland Edirol for Fieldrecordings - and various live percussion.(Kalimba, frame drum, tombak, koshi etc)
