Mark Sloniker

In the short span of just five years and three releases, Colorado artist Mark Sloniker has established himself as a master at composing and arranging melodies blended with acoustic and electronic instruments. Beyond the proficiency and intricate sound styling that seems to come so easily, there is a truly heartfelt warmth of spirit that permeates this contemporary, jazzy fare. Mark's signature keyboard style is dramatized by a rich melodic sense and use of rhythm that leaves space to breathe and an ability to communicate with the listener a combination of hope and creativity that is difficult to not like. There are uplifting and joyous melodies, pensive and introspective pieces like "Bright Wish," and "Harpo's Tune" with the feel of a film-score piece. Tune in to the spaciousness of the Rockies while finding the heart of today's contemporary instrumental sound -- that's what Mark Sloniker is all about. ~ Backroads Music/Heartbeats, All Music Guide
