about

Despite being a heavy computer user, I don’t do a lot of gaming - with one exception: The Fallout series. A post-atomic war game where you emerge from a vault years after a nuclear war, into a landscape of dilapidated retro-futuristic kitsch, replete with zombies and monsters and scavengers and more. In the game, the player can tune into a variety of radio stations… and in Fallout 3, the main station is Galaxy News Radio, which plays a combination of news reports and old music. One of the tracks is Into Each Life by Ella Fitzgerald and The Ink Spots, which I fell in love with. I wanted to cover it, but I HATE it when someone covers a recording, and just mimics the original. Then a flash - what if I were to reverse the roles, and sing the female part myself? I reached out to Lara Hope - a wonderful singer/songwriter - and asked if she’d be willing to take it on with me. She kindly agreed, and we were off to the races. I recorded all the instruments, and then had Lara in to do her vocal… it was a low part at the start, and she joked about it on-mic, which you hear at the start of the track. (She didn’t know I was gonna use it, but I love it.) The only thing left was the piano. I could have cobbled something together, and in fact did, but it didn’t do the track justice - I needed someone with chops, and my friend and monster talent Neil Alexander, who can play ANYTHING, stepped up and nailed it. I owe a nod to my dad, too. He was a session singer in NYC, and used to get hired do to crooner vocals - because of this, I was exposed to a bunch of old-time music like “Life is Just a Bowl of Cherries”, “I wanna be loved by you”, “Varsity Drag”, etc., and developed a love for that kind of stuff.

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.” ... more
