The holiday season is here so I wanted to offer you a holiday gift: all 4 Sonic Encounters albums are now available for free download on https://markmosher.bandcamp.com/.

That’s about 3 hours and 45 minutes of music you can enjoy offline on the road, at the airport, while waiting for a train, or even while relaxing in your childhood bedroom after the family festivities wind down.

Reminder, it’s also Bandcamp Friday so don’t forget to support your favorite artists.

Stream Sonic Encounters Music Series

For those new to the series, Sonic Encounters began as a podcast in 2015 and is now in its fifth season. There are 40 episodes with 4 hours of music you can stream right now. As I wrap up each season, I release them as an album on Bandcamp.

You can listen/follow on Soundcloud, Apple Podcasts, this Feed with your favorite podcatcher.

While it’s been a minute since I’ve uploaded a new track for Season 5, please subscribe to the podcast and/or follow on Soundcloud—new episodes are on the way.

These songs are improvisational soundscapes with a narrative arc. They combine electronic tonalities from my original sound design work and field recordings. They’re great for both focused listening on headphones or background ambience as you go about your day.

“Goosebumps and Deep Breaths…these rich soundscape “stories” sincerely do thrill my senses.

The concept for Sonic Encounters (so far, and in my interpretation) is this. You read a short text [in the Soundcloud or podcast description], sometimes the title is enough, on the premise of the “story” before listening. Then you listen to a purely sonic piece of field recording morphed with music, electronic manipulation, and performance, and you’re immediately transported via your own imagination’s 3D projection of his premise.

Mark’s become a consummate sound artist. He creates powerful imagery and elicits surprisingly keen emotional response from the listener without being heavy-handed. His economy and value in precision is proof of his skill.

Read each premise before you listen. [Example notes from Metamorphosis Under the Chatham Light”] Or not. No matter, the pieces will creep into your consciousness and take up residence.”  – BlindFlyTheater.com

Let’s Follow Each Other on SoundCloud and Instagram

I’m always searching for new music to listen to. Let’s follow each other on Soundcloud (where I also have techno, glitch, hip-hop, electro, and electronica tracks) and Instagram so we can discover each other’s work.

Happy Holidays and Safe Travels

I’m grateful for you and all my listeners and followers. Thank you for being part of my musical journey, and I hope my songs can take you to other dimensions.

Happy holidays and safe travels. Don’t forget to bring along your field recorder to capture some audio on your adventures.
