On Mark Elliot Cullen
Mark grew up in Florida and Pittsburgh and bought his first guitar from Wal-Mart at age eighteen. His poems have been published in several small journals and were recently recognized by the Academy of American Poets. Prior to starting this site, he had a very limited understanding of music.
He currently lives in Pittsburgh. He is the co-founder of The Velvet Howler.
On Mark’s Aspirations For This Project
366 Songs uses an Edisonian model based entirely on trial and error. Admittedly Mark has had no substantial musical training and typically only wrote poetry prior to beginning the project.
Mark hopes to understand the medium. This site can be seen as a diary of development. It will also serve as entertainment for listeners and as a resource for other musicians who want to borrow material and get ideas.
