Hi William.

I’m Mark Montgomery French, award-winning modern composer from the Bay Area, and my solo debut EP One is Exotic, Two is a Threat., a semi-orchestral misfit song cycle, will be released 10/5 on CircusTall Recordings.

I was wondering if the AfriClassical blog would be interested in showcasing my new video “Theme from a Pirate Film”. My composition is performed by the 25-piece Awesöme Orchestra and set to the film of Douglas Fairbanks' “The Black Pearl”, along with behind-the-scenes footage of the recording.

As a 6-foot-9 Black dude who’d rather play Shostakovich than play basketball, I physically and culturally fit nowhere comfortably. (Even in First Class.) This song is my joyous armored defiance against the isolation, grief and paranoia of being permanently out of alignment.
