Hi, my name is Marcus. Evening Star is a project that I began in August 2012, and in the space of a year I was fortunate enough to have gained nearly 10,000 subscribers on YouTube. It began as a Melodic Drum and Bass project, but upon doing some orchestral work and receiving a really positive feedback, I have started to move more into that area, writing music in the style of a soundtrack to capture the imagination. I like to combine strings, horns and percussion to create a larger-than-life feel; something that if played, can turn even the simplest of tasks into an adventure, whether it be across the deepest ocean, the tallest mountain or the vastest solar system. Though I still do write a lot of electronic music, my main focus is now orchestral work, as I am hoping to compose music for films as a career and wish to practice to the fullest of my abilities; if you are interested in commissioning me I would be more than happy to talk on Skype (@ponyeveningstar) or Facebook (@Marcus Abbott) to arrange something. I take great influence from natural things like the ocean; sunsets and cloudless skies; stars and fantasy worlds; mountains and sandy beaches. "Dwell on the beauty of life.
