Nadia's Tears (for string quartet)

I wrote this short piece for a recent contest. The requirement was to use only three tracks, so I went with a string quartet arrangement.

Enjoy!

Life, the Zenoids and Everything

Wow, the past couple of months have been a whirlwind. Here's a quick update...

I was very fortunate to play at the bi-annual open mic shootout at Eddie's Attic last Friday. It was a really amazing experience. I didn't win, but I did make it through the first round. Sure, it's a disappointment, but in the end, I met some amazing people and spent a great night doing music.

I also entered a contest for composers recently on Myouterspace.com. I didn't win that one either, but I tried my best. Here's my entry...

In other news, I hope to release my EP "Another Night Alone" in early 2012. I'll be announcing the date soon.

Thanks for your support and friendship,

Marc

Eddie's Attic Open Mic Winner!

Some positive news... I won the open mic contest at Eddie's Attic on Monday night!

This means I get a slot in the bi-annual shootout on Friday, November 25th.

Wish me luck!

Five Spot Wednesday (last live show for a while)

Hello everyone,

I'll be playing at the Five Spot in Atlanta this Wednesday. I am opening at 9pm for a band out of New York called Changing Modes. The cover is $8.



This should be a great show since I'll be backed by a full band with some of the best live players in town - Mike Haid on drums, Steve Florczykowski on bass, and Scott Shackelford on electric guitar. I hope you can make it!

After that, I'll be taking some time off from playing live to focus on some exciting projects in Film and TV music. I've been working as a composer at a local studio and it's something I really enjoy. Who knows where things may lead?

Best!
Marc

New Music - "Letting Go"

Hey folks,

I wanted to let everyone know that I posted a track from the new EP on YouTube. This is a tune called "Letting Go". Enjoy!



I'll be playing lots of shows and festivals over the coming months. It's looking like an exciting summer. I hope to see all of you soon.

Best,
Marc

New EP goes to mixing / Drivin' N Cryin' opener

Good news - the new EP goes in for mixing next week!



Eric Tunison of Groove Tunes Studios will be mixing the project and I know he'll give it the magic touch that it needs. Alot of hard work and attention to detail has gone into this project - selecting the right songs, getting the right musicians, making the right production decisions - it just has to be RIGHT this time. Eric understands this and has been there every step of the way with his keen ear and positive attitude. Thanks, Eric.



Guess what song we were working on?

In other news, I just booked a slot at an outdoor festival as one of the openers for Drivin' N Cryin'!!! I'll be playing at the Greenprints Alliance 2011 Streetfest in Woodstock on March 26th. More details to follow.

Stay warm!

Best,
Marc
