An album is a work of art, the symphony of our age. Music is more than entertainment, at its best it can transcend humanity.

Cornutopia Music was founded in 1999 by artist Mark Sheeky to publish his music. The releases here are either solo works or collaborations with other artists such as with Deborah Edgeley as Fall in Green, or with Tor James Faulkner or Tim Watson.
After early experiments in synthesiser music, Mark's first music release was 'Arcangel' in 2000. Second release 'Synaesthesia' was Mark Sheeky's first full concept album. Sheeky's early music was instrumental, heavily influenced by Commodore 64 computer game music and Jean-Michel Jarre. Painting grew from a hobby to a full time obsession from around 2007, and this led to a change in musical direction towards avant-garde piano performances, with occasional spoken word. In 2020, music became a main focus of Sheeky's artistic output, and his music shifted towards vocal music in the art-rock/art-pop rock genres, often conceptual and surrealistic, matching his visual art style.

All of Sheeky's music since 2002 has been created exclusively using Prometheus, a Digital Audio Workstation of Mark's own design. In continual development since 2002, every element, from the saw-wave generation and sample playback, to filters, reverb algorithms, compressors, and more has been designed and programmed in C++ by Mark Sheeky. As part of the self-made, human-made philosophy no 3rd party plug-in or tool, no 'pitch correction' or generative AI has been used in any release. The heuristic AI music by Oldfield 1, from 2014, uses a music generation sub-section of Prometheus.
