use dissonance, specious melodic content
and arrhythmia to its fullest advantage. My
works are no less considered, designed,
creative or manipulative. They just aren't
hummable."
A Boston native, Mark attended Holy
Cross College as a foreign-language major
but could not ignore his love of film and
filmmaking. He moved to Los Angeles in
1976 and, at the age of 19, landed his first
job in the sound department of Hanna-
Barbera Studios making funny noises for
children's cartoons. "My ears, having been
keenly trained by years of language study
and playing guitar, suited me well for a
career of critical listening and creating
unimagined aural worlds and fabricating
sonic realities for motion pictures."
Mark founded and ran Weddington
Productions, a successful Hollywood
post-production sound company, for 25
years. Today, he works at Formosa Group
in Hollywood, California, continuing his
work as a supervising sound editor, sound
designer, and re-recording mixer. He is a
member of AMPAS, MPSE, SAG, SMPTE,
and ASCAP.
