Excerpt from "SOUND-IN-THE-ROUND" 7'' release
Out on Sonor Music Editions - September 15th, 2023.
Mark Saddlemire is a multi-instrumentalist, composer, and producer from Philadelphia, PA. He is passionate about creating instrumental compositions from a blend of acoustical and electronic sounds using analog techniques. As an electrical engineer by trade, he's customized and repaired much of the vintage gear used for his recordings. 'Sound-in-the-Round' is his debut single, entirely produced, composed and arranged by Mark with unique and rare instruments from the 1960s to the 1980s. He uses Ampex and Electrodyne Preamps, Beyerdynamic Electrovoice and Coles microphones, Universal Audio LA-2A and 1176, Custom Vari-mu compression and passive EQ, Revox and TEAC tape machines. His synthesizers include classic vintage units from Moog, Korg, and Roland. His music is deeply inspired by the golden Library Music sounds, especially the Italian scene from the 1970s and 80s.
