Met him several times and attended one of his guitar clinics as well . he's a very nice and talented guy. he also is a great artist in the art department to . he painted a very beautiful painting for his 4 month old daughter's nursery right before she was born . she is soo adorable. i don't think there isn't to much Mark can't do. Defintely a jack of all trades.🎵👍👋🔥

    Missed about a week of posting this lol. Not been feeling well. Anyways. Just found you recently through your 46&2 reaction and I love your channel. Great vibe, and I dig the fact that you don’t do it for money. I have a band suggestion that I think any composer would appreciate.
    ua-cam.com/video/7mIV6ADAnnk/v-deo.html
    This is “The Hands that Thieve” by Streetlight Manifesto, a 7-piece band that plays music categorized as “ska punk” but it’s very complex, multicultural, and extremely well-composed, and calling it ska punk is really undercutting its brilliance. It draws from many influences, such as Eastern European music, Latin music, jazz, swing, and of course, punk rock, among others. This particular song starts out sounding like an old Scottish folk song.
    There are fantastic harmonies between the four brass instruments, complex and ever-changing drum lines, and very meaningful lyrics. It all comes together in such a perfect way, and every song is like that. There’s not a bad or uncared-for song in their catalog. The frontman, Tomas Kalnoky, is a self-described perfectionist, and it really shows in the music that he spends years at a time writing.
    I’ve always wanted to hear a composer’s take on the band. So I’ll probably post this on every video until you either tell me to stop or acknowledge this comment lol.

    @davidhyer922 2 роки тому +1

    This song sounds great in so many ways. What kind of engineering techniques are used to tighten up the parts during the breakdowns (if that is the correct name for it) where the drums and bass and guitar all play the exact same staccato notes (often in triplets). They sound so air-tight and clean. If they were to play it live there is no way that they could get it to sound so air-tight. Do they edit the recording of the notes so they sound tighter? Or do they use a compressor? Or, what?

    This is a great song but it's really straight forward besides the killer turnarounds in the chorus, bridge, and solo. Marching in time is definitely a song with a lot more going on you could really sink your teeth into.
