M.T. Sky

“There’s a Void” was initially released on M.T. Sky’s E.P., More Burblings. It was re-released (in remastered form) in April of this year on his first full album, the double-length Love & Oblivion. That particular song has the highest number of streams worldwide of any tune by M.T. Sky thus far, which surprises its composer, Mark Tiborsky:

“The song was intended to express the feelings of loss, but its second movement is sort of cathartic”, Mark says. “Then, the end of the tune is sort of like seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. An instrumental piece (more or less) being my most popular track so far made me think I should just do vocal ohs and oohs and ahs and hmms in my music, instead of bothering with vocals using actual lyrics.” Mark adds, “I’m sort of kidding about that… but I’ll probably be tossing in more instrumentals for my future releases.”

“There’s a Void” features Mark playing fingerpicked acoustic guitar, a variety of keyboards, and electric 12-string slide guitar. And of course the “oh” vocals. He says, “This is definitely one of the tracks that I’m most proud of… I like the way it came out.”

Here it is… enjoy!

This website is the home of the musical artist M.T. Sky (Mark Tiborsky) and the music collective Bean Philosopher (an older collaborative project that Mark was/is involved with).

As of May 2023, M.T. Sky has two official releases available for streaming or sale: the double-length Love & Oblivion (released April 2022) and his new album Mental Garbage (released April 2023). Both of these releases feature Mark Tiborsky performing all instruments and vocals, as sole composer and producer.

Bean Philosopher’s first official release was a single, Eyeball (released in 2021). That song (in remastered form) is now the lead off track on Bean Philosopher’s first official album, Bowl O’ Bean (released April 2023). Bean Philosopher was/is a collaboration (in both composition and performance) between Mark Tiborsky, George Wright (1961-2016), and Bob Lanphier. As with both of M.T. Sky’s albums, Bowl O’ Bean is available for streaming or sale on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, Deezer, Pandora, and numerous other outlets worldwide.

The music of M.T. Sky ranges from fairly straightforward rock/pop to more introspective instrumental pieces. The music of Bean Philosopher is mostly instrumental, and is an odd stew of rock, jazz, folk and classical, with a healthy dash of both weirdness and melodicism.

Here is the title track from M.T. Sky’s latest release… a somewhat wacky rock-popper. Enjoy!
