Скачать или смотреть My Name is Mark

This video is an invitation into Mark Guiliana’s world — a world where drums aren’t objects, but collaborators. Before a single note is played, Mark listens. He steps into the space, approaches each drum with curiosity, and asks not what can I make this do, but what does this instrument want to say?

He shapes the setup, the tuning, the dynamic choices — all guided by the personality and energy of the drums in front of him. Every sound he hears becomes a cue. Every resonance becomes a suggestion. It’s a conversation, not a command.

The film captures that process: the quiet moments, the subtle touches, the focus, the breath before the music happens. And once he finally sits behind the kit, the philosophy becomes performance.

A glimpse into how Mark Guiliana turns sound into art.
