Details:
MARK SARNO, multi-talented keyboardist, drummer, percussionist, and composer
has been a musician since age five. In the early years of his career, he played in jazz,
fusion, rock, new wave, and progressive rock bands. However, throughout those
experiences, a hunger grew to create his own form of musical expression. By the early
90's, decidedly dissatisfied with the status quo, Sarno founded SessionArtists studios
and the subsidiary record label. The goal: to produce a unique blend of Electronic and
Progressive Rock music which reflects the myths, truths, and mysteries of the human
journey.

The first CD produced, Sarno's Throw off the Mask, was released in 1995 to
auspicious reviews. The NAPRA ReVIEW's Carol Wright called the CD "...a
contemporary instrumental fusion release that has true depth..." and notes that the
"...combination of style and high intention..." is unique and may cross the boundaries
between New Age, Jazz, and other genres.

In 1996, Sarno crafted the SessionArtists release, Passages Through and
Beyond. As a long-time student of all mythologies, Sarno used the metaphor of the
mythological Hero Journey to weave the story of Passages Through and Beyond.

Three years in the making, the 1999 release of Sarno's Dark Matter marks
a coming of age. In high-energy electronica and progressive rock, the relationship of
cosmology to psychology is explored, consumed, and released in a musical
composition sure to change the face of progressive instrumental music.
