Mark D'Ambrosio

Mark D’Ambrosio works at the intersection of acoustic percussion and cinematic electronic music. Based in Colorado, his compositions use the handpan and live electronics as a lens to explore texture, space, and deep melodic minimalism. Moving beyond traditional acoustic boundaries, his live sets weave raw melodic percussion with electronic synthesis in an ambient minimal house style.

Having performed across Europe, Asia, and North America, D’Ambrosio has developed a reputation for a highly disciplined and captivating approach to sound design. His performances bridge the gap between conscious listening environments and expansive electronic festival stages, prioritizing the emotional resonance left in the wake of his melodies.

Beyond his solo output as an international touring artist, he is a central figure in the global handpan community. D’Ambrosio is the founder of Planet Handpan and the Steel Mountain Handpan Gathering, initiatives dedicated to cultivating the evolution of the handpan instrument.
