The Mark Of The Müze (lance grider and kin) is a revolving ensemble that makes delicately woven ambient acoustic music. The slow-motion sound is vaguely Icelandic with its roots in Portland. The warm tone of instrumentation and vocals evoke romanticism and inner stillness.
The music is recorded in a home-made basement studio in Portland. Recordings are often generated while musing in a candle-lit room under a romantic spell into the wee hours of the night.
The new album, ‘Ocelli’ (Under the Underground), is comprised of vocals, guitar, violin, cello, piano, horns, keyboards, harp, acoustic and electro beats. The record and live performances feature arrangements by artists from the Oregon Symphony, Oregon Ballet Theater Orchestra, Portland Opera, Chamber Music Society, March Forth Marching Band, Stalking Jane, Vagabond Opera and others. Mark Of The Muze performs as a revolving ensemble or solo.
