Exuberant Turns (2014) - Donald Sinta Quartet

Arizona born, five octave range singer Mark Sanstead can definitely be called one of a kind.  Following his love for music he taught himself piano and guitar, playing by ear, and learning difficult classical pieces just for the challenge.  Although music and arts were not encouraged in high school from teachers, he continued to play piano and guitar, writing music, and singing regardless of the obstacles.  Singing in almost every church band and auditioning for any school production was able to give him the confidence and stage presence that he holds today. 

Mark Tyler produced and recorded his first CD in 2000 titled “On My Own” including a remake of the Eagles song Desperado.  In 2001, Mark Tyler moved to the Decatur, Alabama to study with acclaimed vocal instructor Brett Manning in Nashville, TN.  He was able to finance his lessons by selling all of his possessions and working 80 hours a week waiting tables at a small restaurant in Decatur, Alabama.  After finishing instruction and completing all lessons at the vocal school in 7 months, he was asked to intern by Brett Manning to become a certified instructor.  Brett Manning says that Mark is one of, or if not the highest singing male vocalists he knows. 

He has shared the stage with Fantasia Barino opening up for her Martin Luther King concert in Phoenix AZ in January of 2005.  Over 60,000 people attended that concert.  As a result of his performance this past year, he has been asked back to perform again each year.  He sang at Jubilee Balloon Festival in Decatur, Alabama for over 40,000 people in 2002.  Mark Tyler was in the producer’s choice group on 2002’s American Idol, going all the way to Hollywood and back to compete for two open spots on the Wild Card Show.  Mark Tyler also traveled with a gospel group, Eddie James and Colourblind on their Break the Walls tour throughout the US in 2001. 

Mark Tyler continues to sing and push forward towards his dreams of touching people’s lives and hearts.  Holding himself to a higher standard of love and compassion, combined with an amazing personal spirituality, makes this truly talented artist a breath of fresh air.


Bottle of Bad Ideas Acoustic Mix

Brandon Flowers - I Can Change ( Rokuro Club Mix )

This is a song I wrote called Why.  It's an infusion of classical piano and a remake of David Lanz's Dancing on the Berlin Wall, a Newage classical piano piece at the bridge.  For some reason infusing tango sounds with my music has been one thing I have done since I started writing songs, which I believe provides a truly unique sound.  This has been been my most popular song to date with over 1,000 downloads in just the first 3 months.  This is another song submission to show my versatility in music compared to my first submission Man In The Box ft. Dame Grease.  I hope you enjoy and appreciate any feedback and suggestions. 

"The Magician Variations" is based on a theme presented in the middle of “Uranus: The Magician” from Gustav Holst’s monumental work The Planets, now in the Public Domain. This variations set begins with a more-or-less transcription of Holst’s theme for soprano saxophone and piano, opened by Holst’s musical signature, GSAH in German notation (G-E flat-A-B in English notation), which acts as the harmonic springboard for the entire piece. The first variation is fiery and technically quite challenging. The second variation is much slower and more ethereal but still contains the energy inherent in the theme. The third variation for solo piano is dissonant and crazed—a quartal, quintal, and chromatic treatment of the theme. The last variation is quite exuberant and recalls material from earlier in the piece near the end.
