Hi, I'm Mark

I enjoy collaboratively discovering a unique sonic thesis for a project, one that matches the personalities and drives home the narrative.

I also love writing for live players -
If you give them the chance, they will bring your story to life!

I look forward to hearing from you!
Best, -Mark

TESTIMONIALS

Working with Mark was fantastic. Under an incredibly tight deadline, he took our idea of a recurring motif around the lead character and created a piece that fit the character's journey. His work added to the character, emphasizing the performance and perfectly complimenting the tone of the whole film.

-Adam Lupiani 'My Dearest Madeline' Executive Producer

ABOUT

Mark van Mechelen is an award-winning composer specializing in film and media.

Having grown up domestically and abroad (primarily Gabon, Singapore and Indonesia), he draws from a multi-cultural background and is at home across a stylistic range from symphonic to jazz to experimental.

Taking to piano from a young age and achieving competitive success as a solo trombonist in his high school years, Mark went on to study composition at Williams College in Massachusetts under the tutelage of composers Ileana Perez Velazquez, David Kechley, and Andy Jaffe.

Mark believes in the power of collaboration to bring out the best, and is drawn to the spark which writing for live musicians provides. His compositional voice "leaves room for individual expression, allowing the score to soar!"
