Nick Marks leads "Cinematic Chromatics Vol 111," a thrilling blend of jazz, jazztronica, beats, and cinematic storytelling. This very show, if this very video, cements Mark’s architectural status, artfully connecting the dots of genres while pulling listeners into a transcendental musical world.
Over the last two years, Marks has led listeners through an ever-expanding sonic odyssey that fused hip-hop, funk, and jazz into a churning, cohesion and transportive experience. His work, which has been lauded by tastemakers and fans alike, hit a prominent spot on Spotify’s Best of Fresh Finds Jazz 2024.
One of the highlights is the lead single, “Current Location.” The track lives up to its title, reflecting the perennial shifting of time, space, and sound. BADBADNOTGOOD and MNDSGN score a surrealist film by Tom Jobim and Quincy Jones, and Marks is at his most daring, proving he can maneuver between neo-soul and lo-fi aesthetics all the way out to orchestral grandeur.
Cinematic Chromatics Vol.III. It is the third act of a trilogy III, but Doom is anything but an ending. Rather, it comes off as a gateway into something more, like the last puzzle piece that brings the entire canvas of Marks’ boundless artistry into focus. His latest work is his universe, ready for exploration.
