Savaran is Mark Walters , Shrewsbury, U.K.
Savaran is Mark Walters from Wales in the UK. After developing an early interest in electronic music in the mid 1980’s he moved away from the music scene to develop a career as an Archaeologist. In 2008 he returned to music and records from his home on the Welsh border near Shrewsbury.
His music is a mix of ambient, electro-acoustic, experimental, soundscaping and electronic styles. The tracks are created on a variety of software and hardware synthesisers and also utilise field recorded material which has been converted into electronic sounds with a sampler. Many of the ambient tracks have a rich, deep and haunting quality which paint pictures in sound of mysterious landscapes and unexplored horizons. In contrast with these more placid soundscapes there are a number of rhythmic and beat driven tracks which span a range of styles from pure experimental to ethnotronic.
His first release was a single track on the collaborative Music for Haiti charity CD put together by Hofa Media on the House Master Records label in Germany in February 2010. The debut allbum Strange Landscape was released in May 2010 on the WasaMix netlabel and collected together his early ambient works. Numerous experimental ambient releases have followed on the Somehow Recordings, FeedbackLoop, Audiogourmet, Flaming Pines, Ember Music and Gradient Audio labels
The music is inspired by the random daily events and occurences that life throws at you, landscapes, nature, environment, atmosphere, astronomy, past cultures and the indefinable need to make music.
