Monday Music #10: Mars Lasar: At the end of the day

Mars Lasar is a well known musician with 22 individual albums to his credit.  Mars was born in Germany and raised in Australia.  He became fascinated with music at age 11 and by 14 was confident in his music.  He and his two brothers (he is a middle child) started practicing as a band.  He played the synthesizer while his older brother played the guitar and his younger the drums.  They started playing around their neighborhood and then in shopping centers and finally started getting paid in a restaurant and at wedding receptions. 
The rest is history as they say. 
This album seems designed to provide some relaxation when you return home from work.  The song and the album are the same title.  Some relaxation music is very slow and calm, while this has some jazz components that seem to grab you at whatever level of excitement or anxiety you are at and then bring you to a more relaxed state.  I like this album a lot.  Although I am not familiar with all his albums, I have enjoyed all of the ones I have listened to.  His Christmas music is very nice as well (I consider myself a Christmas music aficionado). 

Here's the video which is a single picture allowing the music to be the star.

In addition to being a musician he is a photographer.  You can view his photography here.  Here are a couple examples of his photography:

  1. that's pretty cool he's into music and photography! it seems like more often than not artists tend to stick with one medium. good for him for pursuing both! also i think the song is nice - as i'm listening to it, there are certain parts of it that make me think it would be fit perfectly in a cirque du soliel show with some super flexible people doing all kinds of body tricks :)
