The goal of my work is to achieve an original blend of classical, jazz, folk, and pop with an emphasis on musical excellence. My desire is to take the listener on a musical sojourn beyond the norms of conventional pop. I have spent many years and uncounted hours refining my craft, but up until now it has been a purely personal endeavor. Over time, I have built a professional quality studio that has allowed me to take my music to another level. Recently, I had the opportunity to meet Jon Anderson, the legendary lead singer of Yes. I gave him a sample of my work because he had given me so much fine music over the years. It was my hope that he would enjoy it. I never imagined that he would call me back that very day to tell me that it was a beautiful work that needed to be heard. He told me that I should be actively promoting my music and that he would do what he could for me as well. To that end, I have created a small independent label, eLithic Music, with a web site that has detailed information, including samples of my music, at URL http://www.elithic.com. The samples are in RealAudio, Microsoft Streaming Format for use with the Media Player 6.1, and MP3 format. Two complete songs from my first album, Tears and Pavan, are available for download from MP3.COM at URL http://www.mp3.com/artists/20/timothy_martin.html. There is another complete song available from MP3Vault.com at URL http://www.mp3vault.com/Timothy_Martin.
