“Mark Snyder is the type of guy you really have to see to believe.

On record, his classically infused tunes are simple, soft and provide the perfect soundtrack to a reflective and productive day. But in concert, accompanied by light and video elements, the electronic composer's pieces really come to possess a life, of their own.”

- The Free Lance Star

“What is great about Mark Snyder and his work is that he brings a much needed feel of musicality to the tone-and-drone set. Instead of similar musicians who are doing the most they can with softsynths and the little musical training they possess, Mark Snyder’s music is the soundtrack of someone who is using a wealth of musical experience to make perfectly simple music.”
