Hailed by The New York Times as \u201ca drummer around whom a cult of admiration has formed,\u201d Mark Guiliana brings the same adventurous spirit, eclectic palette and gift for spontaneous invention to a staggering range of styles. Equally virtuosic playing acoustic jazz, boundary-stretching electronic music, or next-level rock, he\u2019s become a key collaborator with such original sonic thinkers as Brad Mehldau, Meshell Ndegeocello, Donny McCaslin, Matisyahu, and the late, great David Bowie. (It is Guilana who’s provided the creative rhythmic underpinning on Bowie’s final release, the 5-time Grammy-winning album Blackstar.)<\/p>\n
Guiliana\u2019s forward-leaping BEAT MUSIC is more than a band \u2013 it\u2019s a community. Over the last decade the drummer has gathered around him a family of like-minded artists who share a passion for the limitless possibilities of electronic music combined with an in-the-moment creativity rooted in jazz improvisation. On April 12, Mot\u00e9ma Music will release Guiliana\u2019s third plunge into that vast musical ocean, the emphatically titled BEAT MUSIC! BEAT MUSIC! BEAT MUSIC! The in-your-face exclamation of that title is no accident; Guiliana\u2019s third recording with his BEAT MUSIC cohort is a bold and vigorous exploration of window-rattling grooves, cinematic imagery, ecstatic atmospheres and a captivating tapestry of textures and voices.<\/p>\n
