Widely regarded as one of the most influential rhythmic artists of his generation, Mark Guiliana (David Bowie, St. Vincent, Brad Mehldau) presents BEAT MUSIC 2.0, the much anticipated follow-up to the GRAMMY®-nominated album BEAT MUSIC! BEAT MUSIC! BEAT MUSIC! from 2019. Featuring Nicholas Semrad (Empire of the Sun), Stu Brooks (Nine Inch Nails, Danny Elfman), Tim Lefebvre (David Bowie) and vocalist Gretchen Parlato, this new hard-hitting, synth-fueled album distills Guiliana’s vision into eight cinematic compositions that fuse retro production with futuristic playing. 

Transmitted through an original 8-bit visual universe created by artist and long-term collaborator Steve Wall, BEAT MUSIC 2.0 draws inspiration from early gaming culture and electronic music, looking both to the past and the future for answers. Guiliana’s compositional voice is on full display alongside the energetic and precise grooves that define his singular approach. In an age increasingly shaped by automation, BEAT MUSIC 2.0 keeps its focus on human connection and collaboration.
