Healing and Transformation: Mark's interest has always been to promote self-actualization and an increased sense of well being within the body/mind system. He has utilized his formal classical training to produce a body of music designed to both calm and energetically incite the human spirit toward more expanded states of awareness. He says, “I’ve never desired to create simply beautiful music, but a form which will intrinsically be of use to others. The most important use of music today, as I see it, is as a tool for healing and transformation. We are at the brink of a major evolution of consciousness, and we need all the tools we have to help ourselves keep pace with the changes. " And how does music help with this transition? Torgeson feels that music comes from deep within the soul, from where he calls the Core of Creation. “All innovation in the arts and sciences come from this state,” he says, “which forms the matrix of all that is created and manifested in our universe. It is the intent of the creator which focuses the creative impulse to fashion it in a way which can serve society. I have chosen to use music to aid in shifting and transforming physiological vibratory patternings from slow to faster moving frequencies. This “repatterning” makes it easier to accommodate the intensified vibrations of the earth - to more quickly evolve, in a manner of speaking.” “Music is powerful,” Torgeson says, “and can be used as a tool for healing and transformation. We are at a time when we need all the tools to accommodate the swift changes that are occurring.”
