What people are saying about Mark’s music

“From the initial briefing through to the recording session with the players of the London Symphony Orchestra and post-production, Mark listened intently to every creative requirement and composed a flawless and bespoke soundtrack that is the hearbeat of the Philips Aurea website.”
Peter Hayden, Director of Interactive Production, Tribal DDB

“Having worked with many people in the film industry, I can only stress how delightful and refreshing it is to work with a film composer like Mark. Not only is his music pure genius, he, as a person, is also disciplined, determined and able to listen. Mark has a sixth sense when it comes to creating the perfectly fitting piece of music for a scene and is always able to underline the importance and mood of the film using new and original ideas. ”
Damien Puckler, Film Director.

“We have been using Mark Slater’s music for the past three years to provide teaching materials for music teachers all over the World. The music is exceptionally evocative and well constructed to enable teachers to give students valuable practical examples of the craft of the professional film composer. Many teachers have used Mark’s music to illustrate the effective use of texture, instrumental colouring and imaginative harmony to students. This in turn has inspired countless numbers of students to produce quality compositions of their own. To date, around 2 million students have had the benefit of being exposed to Mark’s music.”
Rob Jones, Music Education Consultant

“Mark created a vivid and extremely atmospheric piece of music that worked perfectly in union with the completed film. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to any production looking for a unique and talented film composer.”
Birthe Templin, Director

What people are saying about working with Mark

“Mark composed an original score for the short festival film ‘Inside’ for Lioness Films. He has proved himself to be a very reliable, dedicated and versatile film composer. He has excellent team working and time keeping skills; and has the ability to deal with various tasks throughout the production without losing focus of the long-term goals of the project.”
Lucy Brooks, Producer, Lioness Films

“For me as a producer, it is always difficult to find creative genius that also delivers. Mark is a prime example of a talented craftsman. Like many film composers his pieces are pure magic; what sets him apart is his ability to listen, understand and comply with the needs of the production. For a producer the biggest concern is to stick within the boundaries of the budget. Mark’s versatility guarantees best quality regardless of budget restraints.”
Simon Cathcart, Atlantic Films
