Hark Madley is the immersive exploration of genre-blending​ ​soundscapes realized by Los Angeles based producer and composer Mark Hadley. With a reverence for minimalism and experimentation, Hadley uses his moniker to investigate familiar themes with alluring new sounds. Eclectic synths and kinetic grooves coalesce with organic textures and contemplative vocals to conjure a sonorous lushness, rich in subtlety and warmth.
After releasing his debut “EP1” in 2018, Hadley released a series of ambient works in 2019 and released his debut LP, titled “The Future Is The Question!” in March 2020. The final song on the album, Tomato Soup, was featured in the iPhone 12 Pro film released by Apple in October 2020.
Hadley also composes music for film and television, and is one half of the left-of-center pop outfit More Giraffes.
Originally from Rochester, NY, Hadley has been writing music since a young age. Along with his affinity for unearthing new sounds, Hadley’s studies of jazz and classical music have served as the backdrop to his musical output. After graduating from Berklee College of Music in 2011, Hadley began his career working for composer Gabriel Mann, contributing to TV shows like Modern Family and Rectify, earning an ASCAP award for his work on ABC Family’s “Twisted” in 2015. Hadley has also composed music for brands including Apple, Coca Cola, Netflix, Amazon, A24, Lexus, Patron and more, in addition to writing the scores for original films.
