Mark Wirtz is britisch composer (with some German family Background), arranger, producer.
Nowadays he works as standup-comedian.

He produced Tomorrow/Keith West (Psychedelic Classic).

Mood Mosaik is an alias.
The tune was the logo for pioneering German TV-show "Beat Club".

there are also Easy listening albums under his own name.
