Artist picture
Experimental string and percussion music.
My name is Mark Allender and I am a string player , composer, and percussionist. My primary love is bowed strings and I like to use them in a variety of contexts. On a secondary level, I am very interested in the relationship between art and language and much of my work explores this subject.

Commissioned for a Larry Norman tribute album that never materialized.
Lyrics
There was a pig on the table with a fig in his mouth And a snake crawled around the plate And when the wine turned to water And the bread turned to dust I knew I'd arrived too late It was the Last Supper A seven course meal for the soul It was the Last Supper And I was the last to know I saw my name in the book That lay in front of the veil With a key in between the pages And when I unlocked the door I found a hall full of mirrors And I saw my life in stages It was the Last Supper And a snake crawled around the plate It was the Last Supper And I knew I'd arrived too late Last night I came to the gates With invitation in hand And my old life left behind I came as soon as he called But long before I had planned Still I came prepared to dine It was the Last Supper And a snake crawled around the plate It was the Last Supper And I knew I'd arrived too late
