Mark Robert Henderson's header image

I'm a composer based in Gloucester, Massachusetts.

My first record under my own name, Astra Perdita (four piano vignettes for those lost exploring the stars), came out in 2024. A long-form work for organ and percussion about suppressed and lost knowledge is in progress.

I came up in the mid-2000s, co-running a collage 'zine called OUtlET with my friends in Lowell. Its master copies are archived at the Center for Lowell History. In 2005 I met the artist Jon Sarkin in Gloucester. I now run his estate.

What I tend to listen to and recommend: Boards of Canada, Yosi Horikawa, Bartók, Bowie, and !!!.
RIYL for curators: Harold Budd, Arvo Pärt, Sakamoto's late piano work, Hildegard von Bingen, the ECM organ catalog.

I also release electronic music separately, as The Intelligence Community.
