What can one guy do with a cool guitar collection, a computer and some vintage synths? Listen to MRDC and find out. MRDC is about making great albums. Remember those? Picture this, a summers evening, a beautiful sunset, your favourite beverage and good company. MRDC is the music that supports the mood for these good times. More like the soundtrack in the background of your lives than the pop song on your car stereo.

Separating himself from the electronica dj pack of producers Martin Richmond plays most of his own tracks as he is an accomplished multi- instrumental talent. Aside from the artist known as MRDC Martin is a successful independent composer, sound designer and music producer with an impressive array of radio, television and film credits that recently include, the CBS weekly series “Ghost Whisperer”, MTV's "Date my Mom & Making the Band," Global TV's "The Telus World Ski and Snowboard Festival", Beyond the Action ,and a number of television commercials.

An early gig with the Record Plant's Gordon Fordyce (Motley Crue, Van Halen, Ozzy, P'Diddy, Tone Loc, TLC and Seal) helped Richmond to cement his own distinctive sound that blends diverse musical soundscapes to create a memorable mood for any story or living room. Martin likens his intuitive music-making process to an electronic canvas, saying "anyone can throw paint on the wall and call it art, but a true artist instinctively chooses the best colours, shapes and textures... "I don't follow formulas and yet my music works because I know how to blend all the right grooves."

Press Release:
MRDC could be the first indie artist to offer single paid downloads of mp3 files in his own store. Differing from the others such as iTunes because the mp3's offered in the store are of high quality @ 320kbps they are comparable to the original masters on the CD's. www.mrdc-music.com is the only online store offering such high quality files as far as we know. In any event its very cool to be able to get the art from the artist and know that said artist is getting paid and not some record company executive! The store is fully automated, once you have added the titles to your cart and successfully checked out via Pay Pal you are e-mailed a link and key code to get your files. Painless! This all fits under the umbrella of a new company owned and operated by Martin Richmond [MRDC] called Artistic Noise Music Publishing. It was important to get everything set up and rolling with the first two albums before the release of the third titled "Living Rooms" scheduled for a fall release with an early release of the first single "One Love" late summer.
