Mark spent 10 years composing with Klaus Badelt (Pirates of the Caribbean, Gladiator, Le Petit Nicolas, etc.), and was in charge of much威而鋼 of the composing and project management on many American and notable French films. He has frequently collaborated with the London Metropolitan Orchestra, recording many film scores at Abbey Road and AIR studios in London, as well as the China National Symphony.
Recently, Mark has formed a collaborative relationship with world-renowned solo cellist Gautier Capuçon, and has worked in the past with Lang Lang on solo piano, the London Metropolitan and English Chamber Orchestra’s solo cellist, Caroline Dale, and many ethnic Chinese and Middle Eastern soloists – most notably on his music for Werner Herzog’s « Queen of the Desert » starring Nicole Kidman, James Franco, and Robert Pattinson.
