Marooned is Now Available
A Bandcamp exclusive with high-quality download in MP3, FLAC… includes digital booklet PDF containing 16 pages of liner notes, photos, and graphical score.
I’m super excited to announce my new album Marooned is now available. This soundscape is in the same universe and is a prequel to my alien invasion concept album series Reboot, I Hear Your Signals, and Fear Cannot Save Us. Unlike the first three albums which contained shorter composed and often groove-based songs, this album contains a single long-form recording combining electronic tonalities and abstract expressionist music. See detailed description below.
You can listen to and buy the album at https://markmosher.bandcamp.com/album/marooned.

Enjoy and please tell your friends.
About Marooned
Marooned is an original cinematic electronic soundscape. I think of it as a score for a film yet to be made. An Earth ship crashes on a massive moon and the only hope for the crew’s survival is making it across a harsh landscape to an alien outpost for a first, and uninvited, encounter.
This work is an example of live sonic storytelling and was recorded in one pass (with no prerecorded sequences, overdubs, or edits) after weeks of improvising and rehearsal.
