Tracklist

1 Dedication (for Gabi)

Available On

Dedication (for Gabi) sits at intersection of neo-classical scoring infused with melancholic piano, electronica fx and ethereal vocals. The roots of this piece are firmly planted in the neo-classical tradition of string writing, with clear parallels to Marks’ work as a composer of film scores. This track bends genres, redefines rules, bringing a chamber ensemble aesthetic into the 21st Century. Marks composed all elements of the track, performed, recorded and produced all the keyboard and synthesizer elements, while the strings were performed by the Budapest Art Orchestra and vocals by rising star Arta Jēkabsone.

Reviews

"The gentle flow of the strings and the lovely timbre of the voice create an enchanted and wonderfully surreal atmosphere that feels like we are immersed in a completely different world for a moment"

Berlin On Air

"...a truly dreamy soundscape, the song gently drifts as stretching melodies are touched with rain-drop like piano flourishes and sweeping rises of strings"

Plastic Magazine

"some serious strings and soundtrack leanings"

Gerry Hectic, "You And The Music"

"...a truly magnificent piece of music that carries you to a soporific state, inducing a trance of blissful musical wonder. Beautifully arranged and performed, it’s another stunning demonstration of the depth of Nick Marks’ creativity as he continues to create exquisite music across a broad range of styles"
