High Memory Objects
‘High Memory Objects’ sees Mark expand upon his body of acoustic work with an emergent, electro-infused aesthetic. Carrying forward a characteristic narrative intensity, HMO bridges sonic worlds, setting soaring melodicism to a backdrop of analog synthesis and pulsating acoustic drums.
The project embodies Mark’s ongoing artistic journey, with a vision to map organic human spontaneity across electronically sculpted forms.
