Mark McRae
Lecturer, Theory and Performance
An art school graduate, Mark McRaeʼs career began as a session and performing musician in various major record label projects which included bands, Rub Ultra (Island Records) Honeycrack (Sony Music), Rehab (ZTT/ Warner Bros), and Lovefield (Polydor). During this period McRae found himself working with and learning from some of the most talented producers, mixers, and engineers of our time. These included Gil Norton, Tim Palmer, Adrian Bushby, Trevor Horn, Barry Clempson and Al Clay to name a few. McRae is more recently known for his collaborations with Jerry Marotta, Malcolm Burn, Sophie Rois, Clemens Schonborn, HansJoern Brandenburg and James Brown Productions.
These experiences were vital in creating the accomplished composer/producer McRae is today. Later, McRaeʼs composition, production and sound design talents were embraced and to this day he has worked with an impressive array of International Corporations, Companies Theaters that include RAI, BBC, ITV, Ch4, and SkyTV. His music has been recognised in several award wins, nominations, and critical acclaim across TV, RADIO, and CINEMA.
McRae was a major contributor as producer and composer to the unique audio- visual arts collective ‘The Light Surgeonsʼ whose 'LIVE film' TRUE FICTIONS, commissioned by the New York-based Jaffe Fund for Experimental Media and Performing Arts (EMPAC) performed the production as far afield as New York, Manchester, Milan, Seville, London, Brighton, Belfast, Hong Kong and Poland.
