Marc spent years doubling as lead singer and bass- or guitar player, all the while writing all the songs for the bands he formed. After working in the tv and radio business in Denmark he ended up in Thailand working for a local cable-tv network. Building on contacts in the local music industry he soon became a record producer. He worked with/composed songs for bands and artists like: LOSO , Bodyslam , Big Ass , Palapol, Labanoon, Girl, Peak and God knows who else.
"Enough namedropping and talking about myself in the third person. I have a large organization behind me ... waaaaaaaay behind me. At the moment I'm not working as a composer but studying copyright law. Yes that's right. A shark in the waters of infringement. Music and law don't have a lot in common in terms of creativity. The basic requirements for studying law is an ass and a willingness to sit on it for hours on end reading reading and reading. Time for making music is a exception to the rule (of law). However, I did manage to squeeze in a few hours here and there, and STEREOCHROME is part of the result.
STEREOCHROME is a collection of some of the songs that I've written over the last two years. Although I have worked in many genres and like all of them, I must say that I prefer the energy of alternative. The songs are demos that were recorded at home on a 0 budget using Cubase SX. I hope you enjoy listening to them as much as I enjoyed making them."
