  • This is a previous unreleased footage of a live 2019 concert performance. I am releasing now as I thought it was perfect for Halloween. Visit linktr.ee/Mark... for other original Halloween and Sci-Fi music and to learn about my other music and multimedia projects.
    What's this all about? Back in 2019 David Soto (@sinemountain, organizer of the @coloradomodularsynthsociety) organized a concert event called Synthesizer Science Fiction Book Club which was held at the @mutinyinfocafe Denver. I performed along with some other local synthesists. David's concept was "Artists are asked to write a score for their favorite science fiction book using synthesis. A brief explanation of the book and the score to follow after each performance. Book reports have never sounded so good."
    I selected the amazing 1954 novel "I am Legend" by Richard Matheson for my performance. The book inspired the movies "The Last Man on Earth" (1964), "The Omega Man" (1971), and "I Am Legend" (2007). It was also an inspiration behind "Night of the Living Dead" (1968).
    My score was divided into 3 movements. While the book was adapted into films, the films diverge quite a bit from the essence of the book - and of course the book is much better as is often the case.
    My set was broken into three parts.
    00:00 Part 1 - "Alone" - One of the big themes of this book is human loneliness. I felt my song "Alone" from the alien invasion techno album REBOOT (see "Alien Invasion Trilogy Albums" section here linktr.ee/Mark...) was a perfect fit so I worked up a live arrangement distrokid.com/....
    03:14 Part 2 - "The House, a Gloomy Sepulcher". This was inspired by the chapters in Part I, Chapter 1 of the book which dealt with "The House" and "Harassment" where the vampires relentlessly harassed him by name.
    06:08 Part 3 - "Submerged Into Investigations". This is inspired by Part II of the book where Neville is conducting investigations and experiments on vampires in an attempt to discover the cause of their disease.
