Guitar Encryptions

An album that features the guitar as the central story teller. This is an album of places and atmospheres, within which Mark's inimitable guitar paints vivid pictures and compelling musical stories. Each track tells of a different place, perhaps a different time.

As a central improvising voice, the guitar is the driving force of every track. Mark's ability for sustained improvisation is used to full effect here. Rarely will you hear this level of continuous thematic and melodic invention, compelling musical stories that are always taking new twists and turns.

Mark worked with keyboard and pianist Ren von Grnig on Guitar Encryptions. Ren's lends his distinctive style to great effect on this CD, creating backdrops and atmospheres over which Mark tells amazing stories on the guitar.

Guitar Encryptions is a unique listening experience, an album that discerning listeners and guitar enthusiasts alike should not miss.


Mark Wingfield

One of the most original and distinctive electric guitarists playing today, Mark's improvising is always compelling, continually inventive and melodically uplifting.

As a composer Mark embodies a unique mixture of influences and backgrounds. His considerable experience performing and recording with European jazz groups such as SMQ, Scapetrace and his own group is mixed with his involvement in classical forms as both player and composer.

Mark is currently working with some of the UK's best classical performers both as a composer and as a player, mixing his unique style of jazz guitar with the beautifully performed compositions.

Having just completed a major composing commission, Mark is now playing concerts both with renowned classical harpsichordist Jane Chapman (a unique mixture of composition and improvisation) and his Guitar Encryptions tour with keyboardist Ren von Grnig.

Mark has also composed string quartets, works for wind and keyboards, piano and harpsichord. His compositions were recently the subject of a lecture at Goldsmiths College London to mark the opening of its new Contemporary Music Department and also featured in a composition lecture and workshop at Dartington College of Arts music department.

Other often eclectic influences such as Indian, Japanese and African music also feature strongly in Marks playing. These influences are fused with jazz and western classical music, and seamlessly integrated into a unique and highly distinctive musical voice. On his CD Fallen Cities, he collaborated with Lebanese singer Samia Afra, and continued his interest in non-western forms, working and performing with Turkish musicians such as Gokhan Ozyavuz in Istanbul as well as Zambian musician KT Lumpa.

Mark has a long standing interest in the innovative use of technology in music, which he often uses to create new and unique guitar sounds as you can hear on Guitar Encryptions.
