A few years ago (2013) I was experimenting a with a different software program for creating music (Studio One is that program, which I really enjoy using, although I usually use Digital Performer) and as an exercise I created this collection of songs. I really love what came of that exercise and, at the time, I didn't feel the need to add any saxophone to them. Looking back, there are a few of these songs that I think really cry out for sax; maybe someday I'll get around to that.

I did record a saxophone version of The Sublime Significance of Nothingness, which is my favorite piece in this collection. You can hear that version here.

Fan Love...

I am still really enjoying your music -- having bought a number of your albums... But I do have a question. So the other day I got an Alexa device, and the first thing I asked it was "Play some Mark Maxwell" -- since I have a bunch of your music in my Amazon library. Alexa obliged and started playing some music from an album called "Around the Sun". That album is some pretty fantastic stuff, and I've been listening to it a lot, but I can't find much information about it. It sounds so different from most of your saxophone albums that I was wondering if it was even you, but I do find the single "Around the Sun" on one of your albums (Sunglasses?) So what's the story on that album? If it's yours, then... You are amazingly divergent in your talents, I really enjoy all of your work (especially the String of Pearls album). ~Greg D., Ohio
