Info for questions (volume one)

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.

"Guiliana is asking spiritual, existential questions through his art, and while the answers remain elusive, the journey feels honest and vital. Ultimately, “Questions” is a quietly masterful work. It asks more than it answers, invites more than it insists. In a time of overstatement and noise, Guiliana offers space. And in that space, something meaningful emerges. Recommended listening for the late hours, or for moments when you, too, are asking questions." (Mike Gates, UKVIBE)

Mark Guiliana
Hailed by The New York Times as “a drummer around whom a cult of admiration has formed,” Grammy-nominated superstar drummer & composer Mark Guiliana brings an adventurous spirit, eclectic palette, and gift for spontaneous invention to a staggering range of styles. Equally virtuosic playing acoustic jazz, boundary-stretching electronic music, or next-level rock, he’s become a key collaborator with such original sonic thinkers as St. Vincent, Matt Cameron (Pearl Jam/Soundgarden), Brad Mehldau, M83, Meshell Ndegeocello, and the late, great David Bowie.

In 2024, Guiliana released his first entirely solo album entitled MARK, which boldly showcased him as a composer, arranger and multi-instrumentalist – performing and layering percussion, piano, synthesizers and more. MARK followed his first two acclaimed Edition Records albums the sound of listening and Mischief.

Guiliana expanded on this creative direction with 2025’s questions (volume one), a compelling step in his 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.

Now, Guiliana presents BEAT MUSIC 2.0, the much anticipated follow-up to the GRAMMY®-nominated album BEAT MUSIC! BEAT MUSIC! BEAT MUSIC! from 2019. The new hard-hitting, synth-fueled album distills Guiliana’s vision into eight cinematic compositions that fuse retro production with futuristic playing.
