Regular readers of The Static Dive will remember recent releases “The Echoes of Our Love” and “Falling in Love on the Dancefloor” from his FunkVoyage project.
With his company CoolNerd Media, Mark Unthank creates entertainment and tech content ranging from streaming video to point-of-sale systems and original music performance and production.

His latest endeavor is a solo project, with Hollywood in mind.
“Cinematic Moods” is the brand new album from Mark Unthank, released worldwide via all major streaming services on November 25, 2022. The thirteen song collection mixes elements of pop, classical, EDM and jazz to create dramatic moods, suspenseful scenes and celebratory anthems.
From the ambient bookends of “Preamble” and “Epilogue” to the percussive suspense of “Sunset Drive” and the Baroque drama of “Vienna Trap”, Mark creates a unique and otherworldly soundtrack. Trap grooves meet percussive pizzicato strings and classic analog synths to paint broad cinematic soundscapes.
Like the score to an unknown movie, Cinematic Moods tells a (mostly) wordless tale of suspense, conflict, drama and resolution. Along the way, Mark Unthank colors the scenes with flashes of syncopated jazz percussion (“Piccadilly Style”), trip-hop vibes (“Fight for Life”) and dark-pop nuance (“Slow Burn”).
