Mark Ty-Wharton (born Mark Tinley; 18 March 1963 in Southampton) is a music technologist, informal logician and public speaker who specialises in presentations using sound art. He grew up in the New Forest and moved to London to make his fortune in his late teens. Despite agoraphobia, frequent and debilitating panic attacks and social anxiety, he has made something of a name for himself as a guitarist, programmer, sound engineer and record producer. He started reading New Age books in the late seventies, when conventional medicine failed to help him. After being diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome in 2006, he decided to write logical approaches to spirituality. He believes that life organises itself is by a creative and evolutionary process. That through cumulative selection, some ideas outlive others. Through intelligent strategy the possibility arises of being in advantageous flow.
