MARK JENKINS "Peter Gunn" from the CD "EX1GENE"


Published on Jan 5, 2013 MarkJenkinsMusic·22 videos

"MARK JENKINS 'Peter Gunn' from the CD 'EX1GENE'. Composed by Henry Mancini, arranged by Keith Emerson, performed by Mark Jenkins on the Yamaha EX-1. Drums, sound effects, fx, mixing; Apple Mac. Filmed and edited by Mark Jenkins. CD "EX1GENE" by Mark Jenkins out now through Amazon and www.markjenkins.co"

"'Peter Gunn', an award-winning TV detective show theme composed by Henry Mancini, became a staple of Emerson Lake & Palmer's live concerts in the late 1970's and Mark Jenkins first performed the piece in 1985. 'I liked my 1980's version but the opportunity to recreate the piece effectively using the same instrumentation as Keith Emerson but with the added benefits of the latest computer editing techniques and sound effects was very exciting', Mark explains. 'My most recent albums and live performances have all been of sequencer-based iPad music, so multitracking a quite demanding piece played entirely by hand again was a great experience'.

'Peter Gunn' is the first video track released to promote Mark's new CD 'EX1GENE'. 'A lot of the other tracks owe more to world music, krautrock and Brian Eno's ambient style, so this progressive rock piece makes a rousing end to the album. I'll be creating some more abstract videos though for the more chillout oriented tracks on the CD'.

Mark Jenkins will be in concert in the UK and overseas during 2013, though the EX-1, which weighs something over 480 pounds, will definitely not be appearing on stage...
