21 NEW TRACKS.

Born in 62, and turning 62.

Most every note you hear in all of this came through me, over decades. I’ve been banging on one instrument or another since my first plastic drum kit at age 4, our upright piano at 6, and a guitar at 7. I started recording at about age 10, and have been doing so in one form or another for the ensuing 50+ years. There was next to no income from it at all, ever… but that was never the point. I did so because it was built into me like breathing.

Most of those recordings remained unheard - for good reason - they were never good enough for a real release. One could rightfully call it the longest training period in history. Even now, these are home recordings.

The obvious question is why? And the answer, as best as I can figure, is art for art’s sake. I do it because I was meant to.

It’s not a full-time job, by any means. Life and love and children and relationships and keeping the lights on have all filled my days and nights, with music taking somewhat of a backseat to it all. I have no regrets, because at this stage of my life, I find them counterproductive. Here I am, and forward I go.

Over the past 4 years or so, I have experienced a renewed push in making music. It was greatly helped by adopting my first real DAW (digital audio workstation - completely computer-based composing, recording and mixing) in 2012. Once I got my sea legs with such a system, it enabled me to make music way more efficiently, and starting in 2007, release a new album about every three years. This one falls right in line.

I wanted to do something a little special for my 62nd spin around the sun. And seeing as next to no one has heard my music, and there are songs I love that remain unheard - or never properly recorded to begin with - I decided to make 62. There are old and new recordings here… some written over the past three years, and some written as early as my twenties. Every piece of music here has been worked or reworked just for this release - either a new recording, a remix or a remaster.

I wanted 62 to reflect a little bit of everything I am musically. I love all kinds of music - not being easily categorized is just fine with me, and 62 reflects that. As I’ve always said - I have never made music to cater to anyone - I record what I want to hear, period.

Even more reason that I’m delighted to put 62 into your hands and ears. It all comes from my heart, and if something here touches you, then I am beyond grateful.

Much love and light from here to there.

about

Mark Marshall Kingston, New York

Like the other areas of Mark’s life, the music he makes is chameleon-like: wildly diverse, meticulously crafted songs that range from radio-ready pop to hard rock, piano-driven ballads to soundtrack-ish instrumentals, futuristic funk-jazz to clubby techno dance.

“I just want people to feel something when they hear my music...To get as much joy and emotion from it as I felt when I was making it.”
