60 seconds on how Mark works

On the sleeve

Mark's been our keys player since 2019. He knows the set inside out, turns up with every sound ready, and adapts to whatever line-up or venue we're given.
SashaSasha and the Lights. Function band, keys since 2019
Mark took the keyboard parts off my recordings and made them work live, sounds and all, without me having to explain much. Well prepared, easy to have around, and the show sounded huge with him in it.

Live dates, deps and studio sessions

The parts, the sounds and the playback

The signature parts, sounds and details that give the song its character.

Parts learned by ear

Every keyboard part picked out of the record, including the quiet ones you only notice when they're missing.

Sounds matched to the original

Song-specific patches built with close attention to the era, style and character of the original recording.

Several parts at once

Piano, strings and a synth line together, with splits, layers and synth bass in the left hand where needed.

Playback and sequencing

For appropriate styles, live keys can be augmented with sequenced parts and backing elements, helping recreate the scale and energy of the original production while keeping the performance live and engaging.
