Mark Aanderud / Tributo a Herbie Hancock

Award-winning pianist, keyboardist, composer, and producer Mark Aanderud operates at the dynamic intersections of acoustic, electric, composed, and improvised new music. A boundless artist who thrives on complex creative challenges, his primary focus lies in the realm of vanguard electronic and acoustic streams. Throughout his prolific career, he has published over 600 works—ranging from chamber and multimedia pieces to an extensive library for solo piano—and released more than 50 albums as a leader and core collaborator.
Born and raised in Mexico City to an American pianist father and a Mexican archaeologist mother, Aanderud’s musical foundation was shaped by a rich convergence of cultures. His early roots bridge classical composition and Chopin-inspired piano improvisations while remaining deeply attuned to his surrounding soundscapes—spanning gospel, the Great American Songbook, traditional Mexican boleros, and regional sones. This instillation of a lifelong fascination with global sounds continues to drive his expansive work.
