Mark Ayres - Composer

Commercial Recordings

(Last update: 12th June 2001)

This page lists music I have recorded for commercial release. It includes my own recordings of my own work, and recordings I have made of music by other composers. In the latter case, the listing includes works I have arranged and/or performed as "named artist", but does not include recordings on which I have simply played as a session musician or which I have produced. Such recordings are, however, listed in my discography.

Individual tracks and entire albums are frequently licensed worldwide, appearing in countries as diverse as Spain, Brazil, and Korea - releases are only noted here if full details are known. I'm always interested to hear of the inclusion of my work on other albums - so if you come across something not listed here, please let me know.

 The list entries are in title order:

Title: Sub Title (Composer) Additional info

For easier identification, some of the composers whose work I have recorded most are colour coded:
