about

An intergalactic jazztronica voyager through time and space. Listeners experience moving between different ‘musical planets’ in an organic and thoughtful manner, with styles ranging from jazz, chilled/electronica beats and samba to cinematic infused funk jams. This ride is fueled by soulful horns and flute, lush harmonies, a modern jazz rhythm section, synthesizers, flying game-boy-esque arpeggios, and backed by a 21-piece string section. Think Herbie Hancock, Donald Byrd and Ennio Morricone meeting on Planet “Motown” to record with the Metropole Orkest. This cross-pollination of artists reflects the sound and vision of Marks, who wrote, arranged, produced and performed on the track. The blend of acoustic and synth instruments creates a ‘surreal’, otherworldly feel for listeners, something which has become a bit of a signature sound from Nick Marks that emerged in his earlier releases ‘Ride The Dragon’ and ‘Dorongo’.
