Widely regarded as one of the most influential rhythmic artists of his generation, Mark Guiliana - whose creative mark can be heard alongside David Bowie, St Vincent and Brad Mehldau - presents the latest album from a project that first took shape in 2019.
Featuring Nicholas Semrad (The Killers), Stu Brooks (Danny Elfman), Tim Lefebvre (David Bowie) and Gretchen Parlato , this new hard- hitting, synth-fuelled and hookdriven album distils Guiliana's vision into eight concise, groove-driven pieces built on movement and momentum.
Each track takes its title from a four-letter word - direct, immediate and impossible to overcomplicate.Transmitted through an 8- bit visual universe created by bassist Stu Brooks specifically for the album, 'BEAT MUSIC 2.0' draws on the language of early gaming culture - pixel characters, simple commands and instant reactions. The imagery appears digital and mechanical. The music is anything but. Every note is performed, composed and shaped through collaboration, capturing the energy, precision and personality that define Guiliana's approach.
In an age increasingly shaped by automation, 'BEAT MUSIC 2.0' keeps its focus on people, pulse and movement.
