Mark Jenkin

Lost and Sound is back after a seasonal break, and trying something new: Paul’s first guest of the year is actually a film maker. Isn’t this a music podcast? You might say, but Mark Jenkin’s hands-on approach and unique style, particularly when it comes to sound design, make him, for a podcast that meets outliers, innovators and outsiders, a spot on guest.  Following on from his 2019 black and white Cornish-set Bait: a film nodody could have predicted would have become the hit it was, we spoke about his new offering, the 70s-set folk horror, Enys Men. It’s hauntology on screen: eerie and dream-like. The soundtrack, composed by Jenkin, is stand-alone good - particularly if you’re a fan of disintegrating drones and analogue loops that feel warped into some lost memory. Mark Jenkin’s original score for Enys Men is out now digitally on Invada Records. The film is released in the UK on 13 Jan. This episode is sponsored by Audio-TechnicaPaul’s debut book, Coming To Berlin: Global Journeys Into An Electronic Music And Club Culture Capital is out now on Velocity Press.
