Delicate Noise is the brainchild of Mark Andrushko. A self proclaimed private man, Mark is not one to talk about himself - "I'm a very private person, talking about myself just seems pretentious, sounds like dribble. I'd rather talk about art, talk about ideas." After a decade plus of acting in theater and independent films in Los Angeles, Mark moved back to his hometown of Chicago where he discovered his aptitude for music and quickly wrote and recorded his debut release Diversion (Lens Records). "It just sort of spilled out of me. I just did what felt right," Mark says. "I was doing a lot of painting, very abstract, fast, and primal and that's so natural so when the music came in a similar way I got really excited." Drawing on inspirations like musical influences Massive Attack and Recoil and visual influences Jackson Pollock and Salvador Dali, Mark sculpted a landscape of melodic shapes and colors populated with layered backbeats and shifting emotions. "I wanted to do something personal, I needed to let some of me out. I suddenly discovered [in music] I had this safe place to escape to. It's a place I can go and reveal personal thoughts, express feelings, sometimes intimate, sometimes melancholy, and sort of explore that in tones. It's still very new to me and I'm not sure I could comfortably say I'm a "musician". I'm just a human being and this is an extension of that."
