ELIXIR EP mixtape

Within the Veins of Space (Guitar Ensemble)

The sonic vision of Prismatic Mantis, the moniker of

multi-instrumentalist, producer and composer Mark Reynolds, is one that is

impossible to pin succinctly down. Strongly influenced by Nature, Sacred

Geometry and the Cosmos, Reynolds’ homogeneously progressive material

flickers between downtempo electronica and slightly left-of-center fusion

rock.

With a history as diverse as his catalog’s sound, Prismatic Mantis’ open,

adventurous and uplifting spirit continues to inspire now with his latest

offering, “Return To Sender.”

The first of three connected singles exploring birth, death, and the beyond,

“Return To Sender” represents the second, offering the listener strength in

the face of the end. With a brilliant fusion of jazz and pop set amidst

whirring, bristling electronics, “Return To Sender” is an exhilarating

experience with a message to life and live it to its fullest and to befriend

death as an ally, not an unconscious fear.

Return To Sender

The new release "Canvas" is a powerful track highlighting a blend of Neo-Jazz, Fusion, Electronica, and Conscious Rap. 

These interesting times reveal to us a unique opportunity to dive within to our own creativity and self-exploration. How you decide to spend this extra time and solitude during quarantine is completely up to you. 

A journey without distance.
An adventure often missed, 
into your own genius.
You are your own canvas. 

This creative project all started with the handpan, a unique instrument birthed from a subset of the steel drum. I felt inspired to turn a simple melody into this whole song. The lyrics were specifically written to help us stay inspired in these interesting times during quarantine. Produced, Filmed, and Recorded during my quarantined "Artist in Residency" the Bay Area, California.

Lyrics:

If you are not your mind
then who is listening?
Take a breath, unwind
into Infinity.
Drop in and rewind
and have a cuppa tea.
I hope you know we’ll find
what we’re meant to see.
For all the coming days
of futures so unknown,
until the moments phased
I’m on the telephone.
I’m on the forest floor.
I’m climbin’ up the trees,
through the open door
of possibility.
Be not afraid my love;
there is no room in us
for fear to have its way,
Love has no enemy.
But if you only knew,
how rare you are, its true.
I feel it yes I do;
It is my gift to you.

No matter where you live,
no matter what time zone,
these times we all are One.
The whole world is at home.
Earth sent us to our rooms
to think bout what we’ve done.
Now got my work on Zoom,
sport coat but sweatpants on.
The planet’s on display
to our friends far away.
Eucalyptus and sage
candles on autoplay.
Attempting mastery
of fear’s a useless tool.
Instead reality
and Truth we’ll tune into.
Simple existence.
Journey without Distance.
Artist in residence.
Feelin’ our own essence.
Adventures often missed
Into your own genius
you are your own canvas
(you are your own canvas)

Canvas

We’ve all been lost
& we’ve all been found
life’s but the feels  
and life’s but the sounds

of each memory 
that we  have had 
your life's led you
to this moment

FEEL
(All your)
life inside the
VAST
(mother) 
ocean of you

Sonic vibes tremble 
the resin in your temple
watch the bouncing ripples dance
awake the waves in you 
then fall in a ball 
of dense fog you’ve lost
sight but you know 
you'll find a way out

Flying rivers flow a high mile in the sky 
the sound of bubbles escape from ice 
meltin’ from both eyes wide 
shinin' diatomic diamonds seen from space at night
no where else you coulda been
You were a Ball of Light

Ball of Light

Prismatic Mantis is the sonic vision led by composer, multi-insrumentalist and producer Mark Reynolds whose homogenously progressive material flickers between downtempo hiphop/electronica and slightly left-of-center jazz-rock. Based in upstate NY, Prismatic Mantis has recorded and produced various records and moves forward in collaboration with artists near and far. Aside from musical influences, Prismatic Mantis is strongly influenced by Nature, Sacred Geometry and the Cosmos.
