Mark has over 20 years experience as a recording engineer and music producer, working on projects such as TV commercials, promos, short films, sales videos, and corporate training videos, as well as major and minor label album projects. He has been credited on over 30 albums by artists as varied as Peter Gabriel, Sting, Peter, Paul, and Mary, and Roger Daltrey, among others. Mark received a Grammy nomination in 1992. From 1993 to 1999 Mark ran the in-house recording studio at McCann-Erickson in New York, one of the world's largest advertising agencies. While there he worked on literally hundreds of television and radio commercials. In 1997 he founded Zampella Music, a royalty free production music library. In the past 10 years, the company has grown from production music alone to now include film scoring and studio design and consultation as well. A recent offshoot, "Environments", supplies environmental recordings for relaxation to yoga instructors and massage therapists. In 1999 Mark designed and supervised the construction of an audio post production room in NYC. He operated the room for three years, building up a large agency clientele. Mark started a freelance career in 2002, continuing his work as an audio engineer, as well as incorporating graphic, web design, and video projects into his busy schedule. In addition to the above qualifications, Mark has also played guitar and bass for the past 25 years in numerous cover and original acts. He taught guitar and bass for a few years, as well. Currently Mark hosts a weekly 2-hour radio show called "Complex Waveforms", which airs every Friday from 12-2pm on WSLR, Sarasota's local community radio station. The focus of the show is to trace the connections of tribal and indigenous music to contemporary ambient and electronica. WSLR is a 100-watt station, referred to as low power FM, with an understandably limited range. You can, however, take advantage of the magic of the internet and listen in via streaming from the station website at wslr.org.
