Mark Partridge is a composer, filmmaker, and multimedia artist living in the Catskills with his wife, daughter, and an ever-growing menagerie of animals.
His creative career runs the gamut from pop songwriting to punk bands to film directors and experimental sound designers. He’s played guitar for most of his life. These days he loves making music with machines.
And he’s bringing his music to Radio Catskill with his new show Ambient Barn, debuting this Sunday night at 11 (February 18).
He sat down with Tim Bruno for a preview.
Hello Mark,
Congrats on the new show! Allow us to reach out…
We are ‘ten thousand lakes’ (abbreviated XKL), a duo in Minneapolis creating ambient, downtempo, cinematic music. Needless to say, we would love to be considered for inclusion on Ambient Barn.
Our debut album, ‘lorem ipsum,’ was released on January 27th on vinyl and all streaming platforms. We have had the pleasure of being played on “Pacific Notions” on KEXP in Seattle this past Sunday morning (2/25); and on “Reverberations” on Radio Artifact in Cincinnati (broadcasting on Cincinnati’s NPR station, WVXU) in mid February. We are creeping onto other playlists and shows, as well, and invite you to listen to our music and learn more about us. It may be interesting to note that our live show is in the works, and is focused on accompanying experimental and avant garde films with our music.
