About

Hi, I’m Mark Rushton, a recording artist and visual artist from Des Moines, Iowa.

• As a recording artist, I work in the music genres of ambient, electronic, beats, chillout, downtempo, drone, noise, nature, and found sound, I have published over 3000 musical and other sound recordings. My music is on streaming and download services, and available in sync libraries and stock libraries.  Discography here.

• As a visual artist, I produce "low-fi" images from original photographs, have created hundreds of original album and single covers for my music, and crafted over 30 original book covers for independent authors.  Examples here.
  
  

• I work in the area of radio and alternative tech.  Examples of this include:  FM radio station (Part 15 FCC compliant) broadcasting 24/7 at 88.5 FM from my studio on the 3rd floor of the Fitch Building at 304 W 15th St, Des Moines, Iowa.  A Meshcore repeater.  A "Piratebox".  Shortwave processing.  And other "thrift tech" things.  Tech examples here.

• The Ambient Rushton Podcast has been produced since 2004.

• In the past, I assisted with producing all 108+ episodes of the Boundoff literary podcast from 2005-2015.
