LOS ANGELES, CA, February 6, 2020 — Michael Marquart, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and leader of the GRAMMY®-nominated musical project A Bad Think, had a whirlwind January 2020, with multiple appearances at high-profile industry events.

On Saturday, January 18, Marquart participated in a panel at The NAMM Show in Anaheim. A panel, titled “The Anatomy of Immersive & Surround Sound Audio,” served as a keynote for the convention’s TEC Tracks series. Focusing on the current and future state of multi-channel and immersive audio production, the panel featured the music of A Bad Think as well as select tracks from the Universal Music Group’s catalog.

We are hard at work on new music, with an eye toward giving it the full multichannel treatment once again. Stay tuned in 2020!”
