MARK ROBERTS

Supporting Information

I am a Brighton based multi-instrumentalist, producer and composer. I released my first production music album, ‘Refugio’ last year through LIFT MUSIC and continue to submit it to their library. ”This is a wonderful album very well produced ! Congratulations to the composer and your label ! So rare to have this acoustic quality.” Laurent Dury – Composer I have always been interested in the interplay of sound and vision and forged a strong arts and musical background which included being part of numerous bands where I performed as a bass player for ten years. A relocation to live nearer to the sea to focus energies on recording/producing my own music, my work combines worldwide influences including folk, soul, classical and electronic often exploring spiritual themes shaped by worldwide travels. Much of the last decade has been dedicated to spending time visiting the high desert of California; a second home where soul searching has provided endless inspiration and solace . I am passionate and strive to create music which will ‘paint a picture’ and express this picture into sound. I approach music with the notion of ‘from one comes many’; a simple musical idea on which to build until the music takes on a life of its own working to the narrative of the journey. My debut album ‘VISTAS’ featuring strings by Jote Osahn (Cinematic Orchestra, Elbow, Snow Patrol), reflects notable artists such as John Adams, Terry Callier, Leo Brouwer and Gustavo Santaolalla. VISTAS is a musical voyage and invites the listener to explore a virtual landscape inspired by the natural world. ”A wonderful debut album by an accomplished composer and musician. Aptly named, Vistas creates a series of luscious soundscapes. Melodic, original. Gorgeous stuff.” Scandi Noir – iTunes review 2014 The single ‘Bitter Love’ is a collaboration with award winning singer/songwriter Matt Millership from Tensheds. A recipient of the Discretional Rock Award in 2016, presented by rock piano legend Rick Wakeman who described Matt as declared Tensheds as “A truly unique and rare talent”, Matt has combined his lyrical talents with unique vocals to bring Bitter Love to life. My latest studio album ‘4th Row’ is out now on all platforms. Thank you for listening.
