:: MARK TEMPLETON ::
Just wanted to say thanks to Mark Templeton for providing the site with some great music. Mark is an extremely talented artist and we think it provides a great backdrop to our images. Here is a little info on Mark and if you enjoy his music as much as we did you can find his entire album on the iTunes Music Store
Here is Mark's Bio:
Templeton's distinct sound made its debut to the public in 2004. Shortly after, his first CD EP, Frail as Breath was re-released in connection with net label Robotopera. In a live environment, Templeton has appeared at unique venues like Stanley A. Milner Library Theatre, San Francisco's Rx Gallery, New York City's Galapagos and MUTEK, Montreal's International Electronic Music Festival.
Aside from his solo works, Templeton also fronts Fields Awake. Led by his guitar, the collective of artists create elegantly hymnal themes incorporating altered field recordings and processed instrumentation. In November of 2005, their first self-titled DVD and CD were presented as an audiovisual installation for ten days at Edmonton, Alberta's Latitude 53 - a contemporary visual cultural centre.
In 2006 Mark signed with New York City based label, Anticipate, which released Standing on a Hummingbird, in February 2007. The new album refined his direction into a wandering, symphonic representation of what he's been working on for years, a culmination of study, collaboration, practice and ingenuity. Similar to all of Mark's work it relates stringed instruments and digital processing in a manner that reveals the possibilities lurking beneath the familiar.
