Hi! I'm a producer and songwriter based in Hebden Bridge, UK. I try to make every collaboration unique, with an emphasis on using found sound instruments and analogue equipment to develop original ideas that reflect your creative vision. If you're looking turn your demo's or ideas in to fully recorded, mixed and mastered tracks. Get in touch!
I create contemporary work that is rich with analogue instrumentation. From making new instruments from sampled sounds, to off-kilter song structures and lyrics, hopefully my unconventional approach to writing will ensure your project will stand out!
I'm a multi-instrumentalist, so I can build tracks from the bottom up, as well as being able to work with your existing recordings or a combination of both.
As a recording artist I've been featured on BBC 6 Music as well as playing the 6 Music festival and have been honing my craft for song writing and music production for over 15 years.
I'm used to working remotely or in person, wherever you are based or however you would prefer to work!
Contact me through the green button above and let's get to work.

check_circleVerified (Client)I played saxophone on a couple of Marc's tunes. His music is tasteful and compelling. He gave me clear indications while leaving me enough room for interpretation. It's been a pleasure working with him and I can highly recommend him !
check_circleVerified (Client)I worked with Marc on 5 songs, and each of them were really beautifully written with string parts that were prearranged and ready to go, while also allowing me to be creative when it came to me. Super easy to work with, hope to work with you in the future!
check_circleVerified (Client)Second time working with Marc, an entire album this time! It went just as smoothly as the previous time - clear and concise feedback and great music. Looking forward to working together again in the future.

A pleasure working with Marc, he provided clear instructions and a great track which made my job easy and fun!
Marc brought patience, flexibility and rational logic to the production of my album Hinterlands, He struck the balance between a hands on approach without changing the identity of my bands music. Marc wasn't afraid to question whenever he felt we were falling short of our music abilities and helped get the best out of us. Although he was always full of ideas and suggestions he never overstepped or made changes without or approval. He was easy company and we're all extremely pleased with the outcome.
Marc produced and engineered my single ‘Every Key’ and I couldn’t be happier with the results. He was easy to work with and full of brilliant ideas. I fully recommend his services and wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again.
