i, ultimarko, am mark e johnson, an husband, father of two daughters & a son, brother to two brothers, and a son – born in the tumultuous, early 60's. i grew up with two parents physically present yet emotionally absent. They instilled a love of art & sacred music in me, particularly western music of the fifteenth through 20th centuries.

When my beloved ams-johnson married me, we sang Mein Freund ist mein (und ich bin dein) each to one another and almost the whole of the cantata Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme (J. S. B.) during the ceremony. This piece was formative of my childhood, and became a centerpiece of my theological & musicological thinking throughout my development.

My edits are few and are given by careful, scientific study of what's at issue before their being redacted. A certain part of my scientific thinking is insulated from my religious thinking.
