Predominantly new-age, his music also contains elements of electronica, jazz, pop, world, and rock. Lasar’s music has appeared on television and in films; one notable example is music from his first album, Olympus,[1][2] being used for CBS’s coverage of the Olympic Games in Albertville, France in 1992. He has worked with other artists including Seal, Herbie Hancock, Jon Stevens, John Sykes, and t.A.T.u. Many of his album covers feature his own artwork.In 2019, Mars released the second of his 8-minute MindScapes series.[3]Table of ContentsEarly life[edit]Meditation and MindScapes Series[edit]Solo Piano[edit]Motivational[edit]Nature Series[edit]World Series[edit]Chilled Electronic & Eleventh Hour Series[edit]New Age[edit]Electronica[edit]Holiday[edit]Babyscape and Baby Escape Series[edit]Compilations[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]Early life[edit]When Lasar was eleven, he began to learn piano, and was trained extensively in jazz and classical. It was his mother, who was a classical artist from Germany, that ignited a love for music in him.[4][5] Lasar has been interested in technology as long as he can remember.[6] Using a stopwatch, a cassette player, and a shortwave radio, he demonstrated multi-track sequencing before it was ever invented.[7][8]His mother was also partly the reason for his interest in art, and he began hanging his original oil paintings around his high school in the 80’s.[9]When Lasar was fifteen, he received the “Young Composers Award” sponsored by the Sydney Opera House.[10] It was at this age that he discovered his interest in blending music and technology which soon led him into working and composing for the President of Fairlight Computers.[11][12]He was discovered by Fairlight while being a part of a band of members who loved music, mathematics, and technology equally.[13] As a band in the late 70’s and early 80’s, they used synthesizers, monophonic sequencers, drum machines, and vocals and would dress up in spacesuits when they performed.[14][15][16]His work with the Fairlight CMI was extensive, and he recalls, “I spent countless hours building the first sample library. I composed many compositions using my sequencing method which was sent out to the world with the machines at $80,000 a piece. I demonstrated the Fairlight to many artists and producers including Alan Parsons, Kate Bush, Duran Duran, Herbie Hancock and many others at that time.”[17][18][19]Due to his work with Fairlight CMI, Mars attracted much attention and went on to create compositions for companies, such as Kleenex, Duracell, and Chrysler. In addition, he created compositions for television, such as Equal Justice and Baywatch, and the NFL.[20]His early experience scoring movies came from his project with Sounds Like Australia (1987), a wildlife movie that required him to rework the sounds of Australian wildlife into music.[21][22][23]In the following years, Lasar worked with Hans Zimmer on the movie, Days of Thunder, starring Tom Cruise.[24] Shortly after, Lasar was asked to help with composing an album with Seal, a new artist at the time. That album earned a Grammy nomination.[25][26]Lasar released his first solo album in 1991 and now has over 30 solo albums as well as a collection of collaborative projects.[27][28] Mars’ music has been featured in shows such as Conviction (NBC), 24 (Fox), America’s Got Talent, Extreme Makeover, The Bachelor, and others.[29][30][31]Meditation and MindScapes Series[edit]yeartitlelabelnotes1996Mindscapes, Vol.1 – Fields of GoldSound Manipulations[33][34]1996Mindscapes, Vol.2 – MoonlightSound Manipulations1996Mindscapes, Vol.3 – Satin 3Sound Manipulations2008Mindscapes, Vol.4 – Divine SparkSound Manipulations2008Mindscapes, Vol.5 – EternaSound Manipulations2008Mindscapes, Vol.6 – PresenceSound Manipulations2008Mindscapes, Vol.7 – TransformationSound Manipulations2008Mindscapes, Vol.8 – Inner PurposeSound Manipulations20098 Minute MindScapesSound Manipulationseight minute excerpts from volumes 1-820198 Minute MindScapes Meditation II]Sound Manipulations[citation needed]2020Mindscapes BeyondSound Manipulations[35]Solo Piano[edit]yeartitlelabelnotes1998Sapphire DreamsReal Music2011Piano Moods From MarsSound Manipulations2015Piano Moods From Mars 2Sound ManipulationsMotivational[edit]yeartitlelabelnotes2003Final FrontierSound Manipulations2010Final Frontier 2Sound ManipulationsNature Series[edit]yeartitlelabelnotes1996Olympic National ParkReal Music2006Yosemite Valley of the GiantsSound Manipulations2009Tahoe SpiritSound ManipulationsWorld Series[edit]yeartitlelabelnotes2003KarmaSound Manipulations2013AfterWorldSound ManipulationsChilled Electronic & Eleventh Hour Series[edit]yeartitlelabelnotes1993The Eleventh Hour (11.01)Real Music199811.02Sound Manipulations200011.03 – When Worlds CollideSound Manipulations200411.04 – PanoramaSound Manipulations200511.22 – ArrivalSound Manipulations200811.05 – RevivalSound Manipulations2020MultiverseSound Manipulations[36]2021Ultra ChillSound Manipulations[37]New Age[edit]yeartitlelabelnotes1992OlympusReal Music1995EscapeReal Music2000Blue MazeSound Manipulations2003Nocturnal DiariesSound Manipulations2007At the End of the DaySound Manipulations2020Coastal EscapeSound Manipulations[38]Electronica[edit]yeartitlelabelnotes2000Big BoxSound Manipulations2007Vertical VelocitySound Manipulations2010Organized ChaosSound Manipulations2010Organized Chaos 2Sound Manipulations2012Organized Chaos 3Sound Manipulations2017UtopiaSound ManipulationsHoliday[edit]yeartitlelabelnotes2001Christmas From MarsSound Manipulations2007Christmas From Mars Lasar – A Star is BornSound ManipulationsBabyscape and Baby Escape Series[edit]yeartitlelabelnotes1996BabyScapesSound Manipulations2008Baby Escapes, Vol.1Sound Manipulations[39][40]2008Baby Escapes, Vol.2Sound Manipulations2008Baby Escapes, Vol.3Sound Manipulations2008Baby Escapes, Vol.4Sound Manipulations2008Baby Escapes, Vol.5Sound Manipulations2008Baby Escapes, Vol.6Sound Manipulations2008Baby Escapes, Vol.7Sound Manipulations2008Baby Escapes, Vol.8Sound ManipulationsCompilations[edit]yeartitlelabelnotes2003CollaborationsSound Manipulations2008Exotic IntimacySound Manipulations2008Total IntimacySound Manipulations2008Romantic CollectionSound Manipulations2008Grooves From Mars 1Sound Manipulations2008Grooves From Mars 2Sound Manipulations2009In-Flight MetroSound Manipulations2009In-Flight RelaxSound Manipulations2010NaturalSound Manipulations2010JogSound Manipulations2016Jazz From MarsSound ManipulationsReferences[edit]External links[edit]  "},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki24\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki24\/mars-lasar-wikipedia\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Mars Lasar – Wikipedia"}}]}]
