One of the most inventive musicians of his generation, Mark Guiliana presents questions (volume one), a deeply personal new album investigating the quiet tension of unresolved thought. Centered around the intimacy of a small upright piano and augmented with subtle electronics and detailed production, these nine “questions” unfold like a personal soundtrack guided by introspection and curiosity. A continuation of his Grammy-nominated 2024 release MARK, questions (volume one) marks a compelling step in Guiliana’s evolution as a composer and deep musical thinker, expanding his voice far beyond the drum kit into a space that is raw, textural, and unmistakably his own.
Hailed by The New York Times as “a drummer around whom a cult of admiration has formed,” Mark Guiliana has built a singular career across jazz, rock, and electronic music, renowned for his work with artists such as David Bowie, Brad Mehldau, St. Vincent, Meshell Ndegeocello, and Matt Cameron. released June 20, 2025
