Mark Harwood

Mark Harwood is an Australian-born sound artist, publisher and event curator, born in 1972 and based in London. He runs Penultimate Press, which publishes books and records, and his own work is built from collage: field recordings, found sounds, voices, samples of existing music and electronics arranged into dense, often humorous pieces. Harwood previously ran Synaesthesia Records in Australia, which issued music by Hecker, Robin Fox and Bernard Parmegiani. Under the name Astor he released Alcor on Graham Lambkin's Kye label.
