Mark Onyx is an artist, cartoonist, drummer/musician based in Portland, OR. 

I'm currently seeking either a really skilled bassist/guitarist or baritone sax player to improv and make avant-garde, experimental free-jazz, post-punk and poly-rhythmic music.  I'm also into dub, afro beat and middle eastern stuff.  Along the lines of Liquid Liquid, Mombu or Zu, or Bill Laswell type shit, like Material or Massacre.

Here are some of the projects that I've played drums in for the past twenty years.  I'll be posting rare tracks, often live recordings, so bare with the quality of sound, for most are recorded on a boombox or 4-track.  Some of the recordings have never been posted on the web and only exist on cassette tape or vinyl. 
All songs copyright by each respected artist or group.
Thanks for listening!
