Mark is a composer and guitarist from Ireland. He trained as a classical guitarist and performed in and around Dublin for a number of years. He studied composition at the Royal Irish Academy of Music with James Wilson and then went on to study jazz guitar and composition in London. During this time he played in various jazz ensembles including a big band for which he also composed a number of pieces. After returning to Dublin he undertook the Guildhall School of Music jazz diploma course. He also played guitar in a Steely Dan tribute band and produced two CD’s and one digital album of music for guitars and electronics. He has composed music for a number of theatre shows in Dublin, one of which was also performed in a New York festival. Mark then studied composition and orchestration with the Canadian composer Alain Mayrand for four years. After that he produced two albums of orchestral music. Mark’s goal is to continue to compose cross-genre music for orchestra, guitars and electronics. His main influences include modern classical, orchestral soundtrack, electroacoustic ambient, progressive rock and jazz rock music.
Mark is also a psychologist and psychotherapist with an interest in Transpersonal and Archetypal Psychology and C. G. Jung’s belief in the importance of the imagination, mythology and story. He likes to incorporate elements from these themes into his compositions and to write music that somehow conveys a deeper level of meaning and the sense of a journey towards increasing Self-awareness and Individuation.
