   About Electric Mustard



Electric Mustard is the electric music project of producer/composer/musician Mark Bonasera. The sound is melodic electronica with roots in down-tempo, ambient, IDM, progressive rock and classical music.
Electric Mustard's new "Synthetic Mind" CD encompasses many influences and crosses the boundaries between electronicia, ambient, IDM, rock, and orchestral music styles. Slip on a pair of headphones, sit back and enjoy as you are taken on a musical journey through lush atmospheres and over smooth rhythms.
Mark Bonasera has been involved in Chicago's music scene for many years. Formally trained first in percussion and later in piano. He studied music in college and has played with several Rock, Jazz Fusion and Big Band groups also including a short stint with the Elgin Symphony. He has written music for string quartet, choir, and organ. For the last 4 years his main writing concentration has been electronic music.
In 2000 Mark decided that it was time to step away from the band situation and do his own personal musical creations. Inspired by many electric music artists and using a 4-track recorder he started laying down demo songs with keyboards, bass, guitar and drums. As technology improved and quality recording equipment became more accessible, Mark started putting his own studio together which, in 2005, allowed him to complete his first electronic music recording the self titled Electric Mustard EP. In 2006 he released the first full length Electric Mustard CD - ..Synthetic Mind...
Today, when not writing or recording for his Electric Mustard project, Mark is drumming for the Chicago blues band "Danny and the Devils" and is a percussion instructor at a local music store.
