Beyond the rush of the city, half a world away is a secret place, dreamed of by many but visited by only a few.
A cool morning valley where the mist rises gently through shafts of filtered sunlight, while native birds sing to usher in a new day.
Where fresh ocean spray fills the air and waves crash along the rugged untamed beauty of the Western Australian coastline.
Or the rhythmic chorus of frogs and crickets echoes across a glassy pond on a still,moonlit night.You are invited to discover these places of peace...
Be inspired, refreshed and encouraged by the touching instrumental recordings of musician-composer Mark Spivey as he combines the soothing melodies of original compositions with the delightful sounds of the Australian bush, creating a uniquely moving and memorable experience.Composed and produced in the Southwest of Western Australia, Mark's recordings are gaining in popularity both locally and overseas as a relaxing retreat from the fast-paced lifestyle of today.His music will touch your heart, refresh your spirit and take you on a memorable journey to the inspiring beauty and tranquility of the land called"Down Under".Mark officially began his creative recording career in mid 1995 with his
determination to learn the harmonica which he took up while working as a counsellor at Teen Challenge (Arguably the most successful drug rehabilitation programme in the world) This was followed by a number of other musical instruments including the Sampona, percussion and Keyboard (and the collection is still growing).
With influences from Vangelis and Tony O'connor and infused with his own "Australian feel", Mark has produced two solo albums and has also been involved in a number of corporate projects including two praise & worship albums.Owning his own mobile recording facility, he currently lives in Perth,Western Australia where he is active in the worship team at his local church and continues to work in the music industry.
