“Having grown up a musician guitarist, I am avowed of the idea that all organized sound is music - I see my work in movies every bit a composition as those of Beethoven and the Beatles. I just happen to use dissonance, spacious melodic content and arrhythmia to its fullest advantage. My works are no less considered, designed, creative or manipulative. They just aren’t hummable.” During this podcast, we discuss Mark’s passion for music and sound design and some of the weird and wonderful places that recording his taken him. We also talk about his worldwide lecturing role, and his advice for achieving success and we’re also treated to a couple of surprises! We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did!
