I've been making various kinds of electronic music since the late 70s. My music was first released in the mid 80s on cassette, now it's all streaming or digital download. Originally I released everything under the name Mark Griffiths, to avoid confusion with the many other artists with the same name I now release new experimental music under the name "Mark Dalton Griffiths", the rest of the new music comes out under the name "Mark Ellery Griffiths".

K2 - 2011 version / Icelandic Lava Fields (Cinematic ambient film music / Library music)
In 1987 I released a cassette album named after the mountain, K2. Many of the tracks were cinematic sound pictures, including the title track. 2011 I created a new version of the K2 track and released it on Soundclick.
2016/17 I completed two Production Music albums (aka Library Music). Music from the albums were (and still are) used for TV, mainly on the BBC and Discovery Channels. Out of the 50 or so tracks there were a couple that weren’t included because they were like one of the other tracks in feel. “Icelandic Lava Fields” came from the “Landscapes and Seasons” album released by Ravenwood (now part of the JW Media catalogue).
I feel they fit well together, both were inspired by real...

Please exit through the Giftshop Ambient collection 2007-2024

The Please exit through the Giftshop Ambient collection 2007-2024 includes various tracks that didn’t quite fit with any of the other albums or EPs. The title track came about after touring various tourist locations in England it seemed that everyone had a sign “Please exit through the Giftshop”. Somehow that seemed to reflect life as a whole. The sound at the start of “Daydreams of a regretful...

Our last day in the fields (hauntological folk ambient 2017)
Просмотров 114Месяц назад
“Our last day in the fields” is about the various times when the old ways gave away to the newer methods of agriculture and fishing in the UK, mostly between the 1940s-1960s. The title track looks forward to an easier life away from the hard manual labour to the new mechanical age. But it also recognises that something is being lost. Of course, the truth is that these ways of life remain hard, ...
Modular Space (Cosmic modular synth 2006-2012)
Просмотров 142Месяц назад
“Modular Space” forms a contrasting collection compared to the other modular space album, “Out Here” (2016). “Out here” comprises of three long abstract tracks, while “Modular Space” is much more angular with elements of rhythm and sequencing. Through the Gates (2010) I described this at the time “Through the Gates is a spooky Sci Fi/Horror romp through the Lovecraftian abyss. Enjoy, but be car...
Without Shadow - meditative cinematic synth (2023)

"Without Shadow" is a triptych which relates to my trips to Arizona and northern California. It tries to capture the experience of a dry heat almost unknown here in England. It also includes my encounter with a rattle snake (heard but not seen). 0:00 Chaparral Thunder 5:51 Diamond Back Dreamers Return 11:25 Without Shadow Pay what you want download: markgriffiths.bandcamp.com/album/without-shad...
Do you remember (that day in 1969)? Melodic synth/ambient from the naughties.
Просмотров 632 месяца назад
Do you remember (that day in 1969)? Is a standalone track from 2009. It was prompted by a school friend asking me when I was 10 in the summer of 1969 where I’d be when I grew up. I answered California because that seemed a cool thing to say. Fast forward 40 years and I met and married a girl from California. I realised after creating the track that track that was also around the same time as th...

The first three tracks of this album were recorded 2006-2008 (partially overlapping with “Dreamers). I felt that was a bit light so I added an extended version of Galactic Blue from around 2012 plus Nebula TD-74 and Received Signals from 2004-2005.

Last of her Kind (musique concrete, 2020)
Просмотров 364 месяца назад
Based on field recordings I made of working steam trains at an outdoor railway museum. I wanted to create something using digital equivalents of the tape methods used in the 50s/ 60s, ie reverb, reversed sounds, filtered and slowed/ speeded up the sounds to anchor the piece to a time of major change. In the early 60s in the UK steam trains were being replaced with newer diesel engines. Addition...
Dreamers (Dreamy Melodic Cinematic Ambient Synth 2006)

Exploring themes of dreams and nightmares, the music gets progressively darker as the album progresses. Most of the tracks were recorded 2006-7. “Fugue” was earlier, possibly 2004, but definitely no later than 2005. Available as a free download markgriffiths.bandcamp.com/album/dreamers-2006 00:00 Dreamers 03:25 Beyond the walls of sleep 06:17 Farewell to Dreams 10:32 Berlin Nights 12:28 In the ...
May Night (Modular Experimental Music, 2007)
Просмотров 235 месяцев назад
May Night, is a stew of ideas based on a Russian May Night. “May Night” itself refers to the Rimsky-Korsakov opera. I saw a dress rehearsal of the opera and was impressed with the feeling created by the dark blue stage setting. I started my sound picture thinking about that. I then started thinking about Nabakov's description of his childhood in Russia and his delight in seeing the sphinx moths...
The Hex sessions (Cosmic synth, kosmische synth, Berlin School music, 1993-95)
Просмотров 1346 месяцев назад
My album numbering is shaky at best, but at the time I thought that the album after “From the Trees” would be my 6th, hence “Hex”. “Hex” also means a magic spell or charm meant to cause harm, which is a reflection of how my life was at the time. It seems the tracks were recorded 1993-95 but have never been released. Now available as a free download markgriffiths.bandcamp.com/album/the-hex-sessi...

Point of no Reference (New Age, Berlin School, Ambient, Cosmic synth - 1988)
Просмотров 687 месяцев назад
Early in 1988 I was asked to contribute to a compilation by the cassette label “Electronical Dreams”. I decided to re-work an old track from 1982/83, “Depayse”. When I went through the tapes, I found that I had two versions, the first one is the one featured on “The Dream is just beginning”. I’ve included the second one for completeness. Now available as a free download markgriffiths.bandcamp.c...
Time Flies - 80s Ambient, Melodic Synth, compilation 1982-83 (Roland SH2)
Просмотров 3287 месяцев назад
In 1982 I was invited to contribute to a cassette release with two other local bands. In March I hired a TEAC Portastudio (4 track cassette recorder with mixer built in) for a week or so and managed to record about 20 minutes worth of music (these are the tracks marked March 82). It was a mix of synthpop and instrumentals and made for strange bedfellows with the Heavy Metal and Reggae on the re...

thank you!
I'm a huge Dungeon Synth fan and I love this project after the first few seconds. Perfect for writing and other creative work. Thanks for that!
glad you enjoyed it! There was a cassette re-issue recently but it's now sold out. Not sure if they will be doing more
This Mark Griffiths music not only is awesome, it has also provided the accompaniment to me getting back into reading actual books over the past year (versus just mindless internet scrolling).
great! what kind of books are you reading?
🫀🫀🫀
thanks!
🚀🚀🚀
this rocks dude
thank you!
Чудесная музыка. Спасибо за ваше творчество! Я собираюсь делать видео о вашем творчестве. Надеюсь, вы не против?
привет, я использую Google Translate, поэтому это может быть неправильно. Меня устраивает, что вы снимаете видео и используете мою музыку, все, что я прошу, это добавить ссылку на мой канал на RUclips. И дайте мне знать, где я могу посмотреть это видео. Большое спасибо, Марк

Bangin'!
thank you!
It kills me to see YT putting ads on unmonetized channels and profiting off their works. I will sub and share the word. Great music.
Thank you. There are also monetarised channels that have my music without my permission. Hopefully at some point I'll get a cut of the adverting revenue here.
@@markgriffiths5122 have a good day bro
Absolutely loved the dabbling , noodling, and fiddling in this piece!
thank you!
Thank you for making this available on youtube- your work is a treasure.

Just heard that first bass notes....wow this is wonderful... And I love the cover art too! love from Siberia!

Today just got so much better. Thanks!
thanks!
Афигительная музыкка! :)
um......what this guy said I guess
Спасибо!
Feels like video game music. Nice job!
thank you, glad you enjoyed it
i got up early , looking for some old 80s flute or ambiant music... wow was i delighted by this...5 am dose of nostalgia for me here . thank you
also i forgot to mention, i record the music i listen to onto cassette, and i play another youtube video at the same time of fireplace sounds... perfect match
Great idea! glad you liked my music!
This is delightful!!
thank you!
Any chance this will be re-released on cd or vinyl?
I don't think so. Electronical Dreams has long packed up and I can't afford a physical release.
Like a package of fresh air from a gentler era. Thank-you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Damn. That's truly great. I felt in peace listening to the first 15 minutes of the album. Pretty happy that you uploaded this one. I will download to use as a sleep helper. Thank you.
thank you!
Nice!
thank you!
