Distant Pulse - Original Music by Mark R. Irvin |
|
Welcome!
The purpose of this site is just to share some of the random music I've written over the years.
Most of it is quite old (written 15 to 25 years ago). I make no claims as to the
quality of the music. I like it well enough though. :)
Have a listen in the gallery.
Thanks,
Mark

"Our dependency makes slaves out of us, especially if this dependency is a dependency of our self-esteem. If you need encouragement, praise, pats on the back from everybody, then you make everybody your judge."

"But when the self speaks to the self, who is speaking?
The entombed soul, the spirit driven in, in, in to the central catacomb;
the self that took the veil and left the world -- a coward perhaps,
yet somehow beautiful, as it flits with its lantern restlessly up and down the dark corridors."
Virginia Woolf (1882-1941)
