Here is a poem I wrote today June 7th 2009:

Each note is a drop of rain
Each note is a ray of sunshine
Each note caresses the stars
and washed away the pain
then Time has lost its name
by Mark Pinkus

I was just looking at the word environment tonight when I saw the words "SimpleCity" That's the key message I've attempted to portray doing this recording: to be and live in a simpler place, a simpler environment, a simpler city. where we are with just the essential, nothing more. Yes, more than ever I believe we need to fill our lives with less so we can appreciate more. Being more simple, we can open our hearts towards much larger horizons."

Mark opened up in concert for internationally acclaimed New Age pianist/composer Michael Jones to promote this recording. It was a concert given
at the Glenn Gould Studio in Toronto, Canada.

New Age recording artist George Winston New Age Grammy Award Winner, commented after listening to Mark's Cd SIMPLICITY "I really enjoyed this album." Mark was just named Artist of the Month for May 2008 on the Canadian New Age Instrumental Satellite Radio network.
REVIEWS: "This collection of 11 pieces for solo piano (TOTAL TIME OF CD: (67:12) resounds with the feeling of contemplation, deep thought and careful observation....Unassuming and gracious PInkus demostrates a sensitivity to the simple pleasures in life..PInkus's piano style is thoughtful and naturalistic without becoming overtly cloying or overwrought. He has an ability to exploit certain registers of the piano for their nuance of timbre in creating his mood-filled emotional soundscapes...this collection of piano pieces represents a tribute to the natural world, to the spirit of the individual, to the triumph of human emotion and experience. I believe Pinkus wants to encourage us all to find more simplicity in our lives."Bryan Hachey, Toronto, Canada.

"Since George Winston's "December" Album" this is the best piano recording that I've been given to listen to." Yves Ducharme, L'ere Nouvelle Magazine, Quebec

"Simplicity is where there is peace and tranquility, A place where you have time to look at the trees and walk in the countryside, A place where you can feel the wind and contemplate the sky, A place that keeps you company as the seasons change, A place where there is nothing more beautiful than being you." Mark Pinkus

(This cd was recorded on a rich and deep sounding Steinway Grand piano). THANK YOU AND I HOPE YOU ENJOY THE MUSIC.

    One of the greatest albums of solo piano I have heard. The music is very inspiring to me and creates a lot of really nice feelings.

    Mark's music takes me away on an inner journey. Every time I listen to this album, I experience something different. It reminds me to slow down and pay attention to the subtler vibration of life and touches the feeling part of me that often gets shelved in this busy life.

  • Simple, yet not
    author: J.D. of Montreal

    The great task for any musician and composer is to communicate emotion simply masking the underpinnings of sophisticated compositional style. Mr. Pinkus does this so well.
