Find your special constellation!

In this 2019 release, Mark has compiled two dozen compositions from his wide-ranging planetarium soundtrack work from the 1987-1996 time period. These are pieces originally recorded to enhance the stargazing scenes in planetarium shows — floating behind constellation talks and enhancing astronomy presentations, taking people from their back yards to the stars.

Avid Geodesium fans may recognize some familiar themes among the works comprising this thought-provoking retrospective album. Yet none have been heard outside of the planetarium show context for which they were created.

Both the up-tempo star flights as well as the floating journeys into deep space nebulosities that are the hallmarks of the Geodesium style are represented in this 48-minute retrospective disc!

The professionally-replicated CD-R is provided in a poly-wrapped jewel case; with full-color cover, tray card and disc labeling.
