Aprofessional musician since the age of twelve, he is a visionary artistwith a background in non-linear mathematics, sacred systems andcosmology. As a classically trained bassist and sitar player he hasgained extensive experience in orchestral ensembles, world musictraditions, jazz combos, and solo sitar performance. Whilst studyingsitar and North Indian classical music with the legendary UstadImrat Khan, Mark began delving deeper into the universalfundamentals of music and their underlying frequency structures. Thesestudies culminated in 1999 with Mark being awarded the US patent forhis ground breaking new instrument the Bazantar - a five-stringacoustic bass fitted with an additional twenty-nine sympathetic stringsand four drone strings. The result is a remarkable instrument thatweaves a mesmerizing soundscape of resonance, and evokes all the powerof Western classical music with the depth and nuance of Easterntraditions. Since the creation of the Bazantar, and the criticallyacclaimed release of his first solo album "Fool", Mark has beenperforming extensively world wide. His awe-inspiring solo sitar andBazantar performances have drawn rave reviews from the internationalmusic community and have generated invitations for Mark to perform atthe Juilliard School of Music, Merkan Concert Hall, EarthdanceInternational, The Hawaiian Contrabass Festival and many other highprofile venues. Mark recently completed the theatre score for a muchlauded French production of Steven Berkoff's adaptation of Poe's "Fallof the House of Usher". On the collaborative side, his music hasattracted an eclectic array of some of today's finest musicians,including Grammy award-winning cellist David Darling, film composer DavidJulyan (Insomnia, Memento), visionary musician and scientist JaronLanier, seminal Chicago rock band Tortoise, virtuoso erhu player andprinciple soloist with the Beijing National Symphony Yang Ying, andjazz luminaries such as William Parker, Roy Campbell, and Hamid Drake.He is a featured guest on Samsara Sound System's newest release"Tales of the Red Dawn" which also features contributions fromGrandmixer DXT (of Herbie Hancock's Rockit! fame) and thelegendary Bill Laswell. Propulsive Beauty: Music in Evolution - The DNA of NatureısVibrational Code The fundamental principles of Propulsive Beauty, both eternal andvisionary, are constant truths found at the heart of nature. Inspiredto reveal these fundamentals on a visceral and transformative level,Mark Deutsch created his groundbreaking acoustic instrument - theBazantar. Its unique design is imparted with powerful characteristicsthat manifest complex vibrational realities, creating shifts inconsciousness that allow the listener to experience Propulsive Beautydirectly. What emerges is an extraordinary abundance of energy and asense of respiration as the tones breathe energetically into eachother. Pulsating in a sea of vibration these waves of sound becomeconduits of psychological and physiological transformation. Propulsive Beauty is not about exploring different musical scales ormodes, or about fusing music of one culture with another for peace,though the work would support this. It is not about a betterunderstanding of how notes, chords and harmonies (as we know them inequal temperament) can be used for greater musical impacts. It is abouttuning into the eternal and mathematical fabric of nature as vibrationitself. This core fabric, when used to build a profoundly relatedsystem of tones opens a musical window into the extraordinary coherenceand beauty of nature. Propulsive Beauty is at the intersection ofscience and spirit, providing a template for human consciousness toexpand into a state of true relationship. The deep mathematical principles and construct of Propulsive Beautyalso extend beyond the musical realm, and can be applied to theorganization of other systems as a compelling model that isrelationally coherent, self-sustaining and in accord with our worldısnatural order. This vibrational template of inter-relatedness offers anew framework of understanding, informing other fields such asagriculture, science, and industry in our journey to a more mutuallyenhancing relationship with the planet. ------ *** if you would like to stop receiving these mailings in the futureplease send an email to sean@bazantar.com with the word"unsubscribe"in the subject line.*** . > _______________________________________________ > Bazantar mailing list > Bazantar@enabled.com > http://lists.enabled.com/mailman/listinfo/bazantar > __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
