Seasoning (feat. 2b.Frank)

"Back To Life" sits at the intersection of neo-soul, hip-hop/rap, trap and lo-fi jazzy beats, all with a cinematic aesthetic: imagine Redman, J Cole and Anderson. Paak combining with the spirit of J Dilla, Tribe Called Quest and Funkadelic to create a lo-fi jazzy beat inspired track. 

This is the first vocal collaboration track in the Cinematic Chromatics trilogy, featuring MC/Rapper and drummer extraordinaire Doron Lev. Lev wrote the lyrics, raps, and performs drums on the track.

With this release, Nick joins the dots between different musical landscapes in his sonic universe, heard throughout the Cinematic Chromatics series.  In doing so, he marries two disparate paradigms of his artistry: that of the concert music/film scoring world, and the underground scenes in which jazz, hip-hop, neo-soul and electronica cross-pollinate.

New York based artist Nick Marks is a composer and producer of sonic narratives that traverse musical boundaries. Described as 'cinematic jazz electronica, infused with hip-hop breaks and latin flavors', Marks' music is laced with ear-candy hooks, lush jazz harmonies, expansive arrangements and hard-hitting beats. His ethos is to provide listeners with a soundtrack to their day that helps them feel energized and at ease, facilitating deep emotional connections to moments of everyday life. 

Born and raised in Melbourne, Australia, he grew up among that city’s innovative musical scenes, absorbing the cross-pollination of jazz, neo-soul, R&B, funk, latin and hip-hop influences. Marks is a conservatory trained jazz and classical pianist, and self taught composer. His training is combined with a deep passion and study of film scores and synthesizers. This has informed a sound that is wholly his own, combining the real with the surreal, designed to stimulate the soul, body and mind. 

Since moving to New York in 2016, Marks has firmly established himself as an in-demand composer, producer and musical director. He writes scores for feature film and television, is a frequent collaborator and arranger for various cross-genre artists. Marks' music resonates with the full spectrum of emotions, a reflection of his view that life is multifaceted with layers of beauty and complexity.
