LYRICS

ABOUT MARK:

Electronic-based rhythm floods your ears with song-
writing brilliance as the music of Mark Baranowski
takes to the air. Offering up music that infuses the
listener with its own energy and mind elevation,
Mark's songs offer crisp electronic textures work-
ing in sublime conjunction with pop, rock & hip-
hop elements. The end result is inspired and
original songcraft.

"Vital Therapy"

The world would never know healing if not for
the power of music. Mark seeks to make its cur-
ative powers come alive with his emotionally
charged songwriting. “Music is vital therapy,
both for the artist and for the listener,” he de-
clares. With his songs he reaches out to the
listener, offering both solace and entertainment
and finding a place beyond the physical in
which musician and audience can coexist and
energize through the power of rhythm. “As an
artist, music has been a saving grace throughout
my entire life, enabling me to therapeutically
release otherwise hidden emotions and frustra-
tions. As a listener, it’s pulled me through bouts
of depression, set the mood for unforgettable
experiences and continuously sparked my own
creativity.”

"Fear"

Fear is a tremendous force for positive, driving
us to improve our lot and seek out higher goals.
"Fear may be my main inspiration – fear of
harm befalling my family, fear of failure, fear
of mediocrity and fear of poverty." Of course,
with talent such as Mark's, some of these fears
will surely prove to be hollow ones. But his will-
ingness to face the darkness and find there
motivation for his art has only enhanced and
enriched his songwriting, making for music with
depth.

"The Artist at Work"

As of early 2008, Mark has so far released 15 CDs
in the course of his career (some under the pseu-
donyms The Marksman and MARQUIS [pro-
nounced mar-KEE]). He has also scored his own
independent films, as well as providing music
for 1998’s horror opus 5 Dark Souls: Part 2. The
online soundtrack for Book of Shadows: Blair
Witch 2 also boasted a track by Mark (as
MARQUIS). He put all this "shadowy" material
behind him for awhile in order to focus on
children's music, stating, "The birth of my son,
Eryk, transformed me. I decided it was time to
use my creative talents in a more positive and
uplifting way, and the children's market was
just where I needed to be." Unfortunately, this
path led to far less success than that of his
previous work, and although he's completely
satisfied with the results of his efforts (as he
hopes Eryk will be when he's old enough to
appreciate them), he's since re-embraced his
MARQUIS persona, and promises new creations
throughout Summer 2008.
