Mark Springer

**Mark Springer** is a British musician and composer who first made waves in the early 1980s as a founding member of the genre-blending band Rip Rig & Panic, known for mixing post-punk energy with jazz, funk, and avant-garde experimentation. After the band’s split, Springer carved out a solo career that leans into his knack for merging classical piano sensibilities with art-pop curiosity, crafting atmospheric works that feel both intimate and grand. His recent releases—like the haunting *Sleep of Reason* and the lush *Menu 2 & Potentino Wine Piano Quintet*—showcase his evolution into a composer unafraid to blur lines between contemporary classical, improvisation, and subtle electronic textures. Whether he’s diving into solo piano meditations or collaborative experiments, Springer’s music remains rooted in poetic exploration and a refusal to sit still stylistically.
