MY STORY

Mark Smythe_Score Bio Pic_edited_edited.

Mark is a New Zealand-born composer of choral, film and concert music, based in LA. He was a selected Composer Fellow for the 2024 Choral Arts Initiative PREMIERE|Project Festival, which included the premiere of his "Song of the Sea - Part I" for choir and electric guitar. In 2023, his score for The Reef: Stalked (Hulu) was nominated in both the SCL Awards (USA) and World Soundtrack Awards (Belgium).

​

For the concert hall or screen, Mark's music interlaces captivating melodies with mercurial harmonies. Movie Music UK compares his score for The Reef: Stalked  to early Basil Poledouris: "The first thing you notice is how beautiful large parts of it are." He holds a Masters in Screen Composition from the Australian Film, Television and Radio School, and is a Media Composition professor at California State University, Northridge.
