I was honoured to get a message from Mark Sartori (@user-83791253-79179570), whose music & guitar playing I'm a big fan of, asking if I might want to collaborate on one of his pieces of music. He suggested I add some percussion to his guitar, and this is what came together. Mark S has since recorded a new, solo version of the song as well. 

Thanks Mark, for giving me the nod to work with you on this really fine & catchy tune. Hope folks dig this pan-Pacific partnership!

Mark's Album (post-2020)

Little Wind (Mark Sartori with MisterMark)

Original..  Music made in Garageband  ... This is also a little untypical me... But as i said before, i like showing different sides of myself   :)   And remember, my songs sounds better with earphones  ;)


Lyrics:

Iam done with shitty people
Iam done with trickery
Iam done giving myself to someone who is done with me...

Iam done with lying people
Iam done with dishonesty
Iam done giving it all to someone 
Who dont give a shit to me...

Iam done being addicted
Iam done just hangin in
Iam done being exposed
Iam done with being done...

Iam done with shitty people
Iam done with dishonesty
Iam done just hangin in
Iam done with being done....

I'm Done       (Original)

Skip to 1.54 for some stuff even a Robot can't play these days.

Feel Alive

I have lived I have loved and I have died a million times 
In my eternal circle I am me
Here I suffer
Here I pray
Here I bleed and here I heal

Melting golden calves of the mind, throwing idols on the pyre
I am eternal, I am the nameless one without a face, the shadow and the light

A rotten wasteland
A wretched stinking place

I dig my way, through the dark paths in my soul
Angelic voices sing in spiteful ways

Melting golden calves of the mind, throwing idols on the pyre
I am eternal, I am the nameless one without a face, the shadow and the light

A flow into the ether, a movement from above to below.
A tide that runs through everything 
The alchemy of heart and soul

Melting golden calves of the mind, throwing idols on the pyre (aaah)
I am eternal, I am the nameless one without a face, the shadow and the light

I am fire I am light, I'm the cruel destroyer and salvation
I am now, I am here, and I am eternal
Immersed in shadows and in light


The shadow and the light

First upload off a new album, "The Thing in my Head Smiled," consisting of a series of compositions all linked by an overarching musical concept, that I'll reveal once the whole album is online. Hope you enjoy!

The Thing in my Head Smiled

24 4 25

Cold walls and dark halls
cages for men that could not run
for the jailer knows the plays
and locks em in for days
far from the smile of the sun
some have gone insane
as they rant and scream their names
hoping someone hears them
...but no one came
and some will sit and glare
looking for a light in their despair
but I have found the jailer's keys
and in these walls I roam
singing words of love and care
things they've not been shown
so in these cold walls and dark halls
in cages meant for men
that could not run
yea
locked and kept away
from the smile of the sun
and I release U within me...beyond all...
and the jailer knows the plays and locks em
in for days...far from...
the smile of the sun

Smile Of The Sun

[Verse]
We drank the dark, slept on bone,
Built our lives from broken stone.
Your cities gleam, our teeth are cracked,
We carry weight you won’t look back.

[Verse]
You speak of choice from silver rooms,
We learn to crawl beneath the fumes.
You pray for peace, we fight to eat,
Your silence echoes in our streets.

[Verse]
We were born with stones in hand,
Still you asked why we can’t stand.
But justice screams from every scar –
We built your world, we lit your stars.

PREVIOUS BIO:

I'm a guitarist and wanna be composer / songwriter- from Perth, Western Australia. I'm currently releasing a bunch of solo material as I have a backlog of older demos and also a new creative streak (thanks life). 

If you enjoy the following you might enjoy some of my work:

Devin Townsend, Porcupine Tree, Ghost, Metallica, Tool, Lofi, game and movie soundtracks, bots, retrofuturism, Eastern philosophy and spirituality, conspiracies (and truths) combined with unique storytelling, riffs or the matrix ...You might like what i put out.

Guess you could say it's prog rock, metal, atmospheric soundscapes, curated samples, synth melodies, stoner rock vibes and storytelling elements like samples and all that good stuff.  But a few killer solos in there too - and riffs. I like riffs....

You won't just see the final, polished product either. I'll release demos, phone memos, whatever - Along with the actual end result so you can take part in this musical journey with me.

That's enough about me. Enjoy the music, let me know what you like/don't like, and say hi over on my socials. Give some love to Code Red too while you're at it. Awesome local band that I miss playing in heaps. Check them out on Spotify or catch one of their upcoming shows here in Perth.
