Mark has been creating musical landscapes
for films and video since the age of 13. He created his first composition
by writing a computer program on Commodore 64 computer. Since then,
he has continued to compose and perform music using the latest technology
as well as traditional instruments, such as guitar and bass. Consequently,
his compositions are an edgy concoction of the synthetic and the organic.
In addition to creating the disturbing score of GHOST
OF THE NEEDLE, Mark put his technical skill to good use by serving
as the audio engineer and co-sound designer with Brian.
“Where the music stops and sound design begins is very subjective
in the dissonant scores that Brian and I like. So while I’m
creating the music, I also work with Brian’s sound design by
creating bizarre soundscapes, ambient sounds and effects that normally
wouldn’t be in the realm of a score.”
Adds Brian,
“He pushes me to create the best sound design possible. In
the end, he monitors every mix I make giving me pages of notes of
changes from bass cuts, to high cuts, to sub-bass cuts, to EQ’s
and reverb which fit only one particular sound. They all seem very
minute by themselves, but the cumulative effect is undeniable.”
As well as creating
film scores for Avenet Images, he writes, performs, records and
masters his own pop songs in a variety of genres.
