Pennsylvania & New Tunes

It’s hard for me to believe, but it’s already been a little more than a year since Nature & Design was released.  The response has been overwhelmingly positive and I’ve been very happy with the reviews.  Thanks to everyone for the support.  It’s been a strange year, but a good year none the less…

We left Boston this past summer and made the move to Central Pennsylvania, the place I’ve always called home.  Though I miss the people of Boston and the landscapes of New England, getting to a quieter, more peaceful place has been great.  In just 2 weeks we’ll be moving into our first house and I’ll finally have a nice large, dedicated studio space.  Pictures to follow!

Musically, I haven’t been working too hard on any one project.  I’ve mostly been exploring new composition methods and tools.  I burnt out on my traditional methods of composing and recording while finishing up Nature & Design, so I’ve needed the break.  I’m into sampling more than ever, and I think it’s going to show on the next record.

Here’s a taste of a track I’ve been working on -  nothing mixed or mastered – just raw ideas:

Mark Preston - November Demo


…the next record is shaping up to have that sort of a sound…
