Composer and guitarist based in Prague.
Currently studying BA in composition at HAMU.

Compositor de música de concierto, y música para cine.

Peter and the Wolf has a lot to answer for!

For it introduced Mark Drilling how to truly LISTEN to music.  The children’s masterpiece gave Mark his ears for music… hearing individual instruments and the part they played in the overall composition.

“Giving a character an instrument and a theme, introduced me to the emotion of music and how a story can be told using these simple elements. I’d lay on the lounge floor as a 4 year old just soaking up the atmosphere and the story.”

He trusted his ears so much, that he chose the rock n roll route on the way to his dream of film composition.

“It was always on the cards, but the technology to help my lack of theoretical music knowledge wasn’t there yet….”

His musical education took him into hard rock, gospel and country music where he managed to score a publishing deal with ABC Music Publishing as a songwriter and later moved to Sydney to hone his craft. 

“At one time, I was also a music director and songwriter/arranger in a large church, and It was actually there, that I began to really learn to arrange and write for different instruments.”

Upon returning from Sydney, he was approached to write music for a short film.

“The technology was there, my skills, I felt, were there and “The Beta Phase’” was such a fantastic story. At first I was hesitant that I was capable, but I think deep down, this was what I was meant to do. The whole experience was exhilarating!”

Since then, he has written for a Sci-Fi short - “Anthelios”,  a quirky nod to the Spaghetti Western called “The King’s Court” and two other student short films, “LOVERS” and “L PLATES” 

“This is what I always wanted to do musically. I just had to learn my way and in my time, but I got here! It somehow makes it more rewarding.”
