Mark gives here a short biography:
'I finished a course in studying music technology
at Rose Bruford college last academic year which I started as a result of
having an interest in music since I was a kid.
My interest in this specific area developed
out of curiosity as to how music is composed and recorded and created. I
now compose and produce compositions in a large number of genres, mostly
pop style but also movie soundtracks of which I am a big fan.
I started my music training at Wells Cathedral
School by first joining the choir which featured on radio and several television
programs - e.g. Songs of praise and Dame Edna. From this I took up the violin
and piano and progressed to grade 5 on both before changing my main instrument
to Viola and attaining grade 8. I attended the Guildhall School of Music
and Drama for 7 years and participated in activities in both areas.
At A-level I studied Music and Performing Arts
and involved myself with shows and productions for both. I joined a quartet
and performed solo on several occasions and for a while played viola in pit
orchestras for local shows. My interest in music and theatre production led
me to operate lighting and sound effects for my sixth form shows.
The music technology course has involved many
aspects of music in all media related sources. Since writing a composition
for a movie and shooting a three minute art video for an assignment, I have
been further interested in everything to do with films - how they're made,
created, directed and produced.
My main interests are now on producing my own
films, writing the music and screenplay, directing and shooting them, and
who knows... soon starring in them.
Owning a minidv has led to several professional
home videos, promotional video for actors, music videos and short films which
were my main project assignments at University. Since I am inspired by this
media I have invested in a high end professional video editing software which
I have got proficient with in the last two years.
As my camera technique is something I have
spent a long time learning, I am putting my skills to good use in the area
of wedding videos, and other vents where the results are always met with
enthusiasm.'
