Mark Sayfritz

Mark recently premiered his symphony 'Sound of Light' inspired by the northern lights & composed in collaboration with Artificial intelligence at Brahms Saal, Musikverein, Vienna. The orchestra driven piece mixed with experimental visual driven synthesis techniques was broadcast live around the world and was the final stage of a 2 month long odyssey from deep in the arctic circle though to Cambridge, London and finally Vienna. Marks instinctive desire to experiment between genres and arts has been prevalent throughout his career. This journey from record producer & in-house writer for Jive records, to recording artist signed to Heavenly/EMI records and through to film composer has provided him with a broad palette of experience to craft from. He recently finished scoring Darren Lynn Bousman's (director of the SAW sequels fame) latest film 'Death of Me' starring Luke Hemsworth and Maggie Q due out in early 2021. Previous to that he wrote the original music for 'Snatch', a 10 part series for Sony Pictures/Crackle based on Guy Ritchie's original film starring Rupert Grint (Harry Potter) and Dougray Scott (Mission Impossible III). He also recently scored 'St Agatha', a female driven "nunsploitation" horror thriller also directed by Darren Lynn Bousman starring Carolyn Hennesey (Terminator 3-Rise of the Machines) which is currently garnering fantastic reviews and has secured worldwide distribution. Other notable feature films include Bousmans horror noir opus 'Abattoir'( Lin Shaye / Jessica Lowndes), 'Dark Tide' (Halle Berry / Olivier Martinez), 'Dead Man Running' (50Cent / Brenda Blethyn) and 'Devil You Know' (Rosamund Pike / Jennifer Lawrence / Lena Olin).
