Mark Guiliana - questions (volume one) (2025) (Hi-Res)

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.
