Mark Jenkins (born 1960) is a Welsh musician and music writer. He has written interviews and instrument reviews for UK and international magazines including Melody Maker, New Musical Express, Music Week, International Musician, Keyboard (US), and Mac Format, and has also written a book, Analog Synthesizers, 2nd Edition 2019.[1] He currently writes for the US magazine, Synth & Software.[2]
Jenkins studied a Combined Arts course at university; he worked in the university television and electronic music studios to create his first live performances. Graduating with a BA Honours degree, he became Music Editor of the magazine Electronics & Music Maker. Working on other publications he interviewed artists including Philip Glass, Depeche Mode, Isao Tomita, Karlheinz Stockhausen and Duran Duran and reviewed instruments from Moog Music, Yamaha, Roland, Sequential Circuits and others. Many of these features have been archived by the Muzines website.[3] He gave further live performances at London Olympia, the London Planetarium and the Queen Elizabeth Hall among other venues.
Jenkins formed the label AMP Music in 1983. He has performed with David Vorhaus as White Noise at venues including the Bochum Planetarium, Germany, and the All Tomorrow's Parties festival. He also performed at the Peter Harrison Planetarium at The Royal Observatory in 2009.[4] In 2012 Taylor & Francis published a new book by Jenkins, iPad Music following his release of the world's first all-iPad CD album in October 2010, and the Analog Synthesizers book was revised and updated interviewing artists such as Suzanne Ciani, Paul Haslinger, Hans Zimmer and the composers of Stranger Things in 2019.
In 2020 Mark Jenkins launched the ZyXyZ Books imprint with the matching volumes "Tangerine Dream: 50 Years - The Ultimate Discography", "Klaus Schulze: 50 Years - The Ultimate Discography" and "Kraftwerk: 50 Years - The Ultimate Discography". All three books were sold around the world through Amazon.
