Mark Sutton’s music works whether you’re sitting in a plush concert seat or just trying to survive your commute with your earbuds in. When he’s not writing music, Sutton nerds out over music history, which explains why his stuff feels familiar yet completely his own. His work keeps popping up in soundtracks and playlists, proving that good instrumental music still has serious pulling power in 2025.
“A compass made of chords, pointing nowhere and everywhere at once.”
“Odyssey” does exactly what it says on the tin: it takes you somewhere. The track builds slowly, letting you sink into it at your own pace. Think of it as the difference between being dragged through a museum and actually getting to stop and look at the paintings. It’s the kind of track that makes you realize how much emotion you can pack into music without a single word uttered. The composition breathes beautifully. The orchestral layers unfold gradually, each section adding depth and color to what came before.
So, if you’re into instrumental music that actually goes somewhere, “Odyssey” deserves your time. And if you’re already a fan of contemporary classical or film scores, this is absolutely your lane. Go press play.
