Mark Mosher Electronic Musician Bio

BRIEF HISTORY
I’m a BMI recording artist and have licensed music to various projects. I’ve been playing keyboards in various forms since childhood. I played synth and sang professionally for the award winning Head Full of Zombies for from 1989-2003. Beginning in 2002 I began professionally composing, producing, and designing sounds for film, commercials, multimedia, and live theatrical productions. While I enjoy creating electronic music, I can write in just about any genre. For example, one of my songs "Flight" is an orchestral New Age composition featured as a bonus track for the DVD and soundtrack for the film One Six Right (film website, video of song on YouTube).

CURRENT PROJECTS

1.    Modulate This! Blog - In 2005 I launched www.modulatethis.com. This blog offers news, tips, tutorials and links for electronic musicians. To date I’ve written over 200 posts. The blog has been a big success with over 60,000 unique page reads and has over 140 regular subscribers and continues to grow every month.

2.    TEACHING – I teach others how to use Ableton Live and FL Studio.  Contact me if you are interested in lessons or a presentation on this fantastic production tool.

3.    PRE-PRODUCTION – I’ve been hard at work writing new electronica, ambient, and techno tracks. Keep on eye on my myspace page.

TECHNIQUE
Since 2002, I’ve been software-based. I compose and perform using various MIDI keyboards and controllers to drive software synthesizers and virtual instruments. Thanks to advances in computing technology, I’m 100% laptop based. I’ve been working with MIDI since it’s inception (gasp!). I have extensive experience programming synthesizers, sampling, resampling, beat slicing, programming FX,  recording audio, recording automation, drum programming – you get the idea.

All this allows me to go beyond factory sounds and loop-based music to create unique tracks with major label/Hollywood level production quality.

WWII Aviator Audio CD

WWII Aviator ™, is a new division of Newecho Productions dedicated to preserving memories through oral history audio books.

Our first audio book is called WWII AVIATOR: Always Fasten Your Seatbelt and is an oral history audio CD of Captain George Mosher's experiences in the Aviation Cadets and Ferry Command. Captain George Mosher (1923-2002) had a diverse career as an aviator in the Army Air Corp. He also had a gift and passion for storytelling. In the mid-80's Captain Mosher sat down in his living room and recorded his memories of WWII on to a series of audio cassettes. These recordings have been digitally edited and preserved on this CD which contains over 23 true stories (over 55 minutes) in his own words.
