Starting in 1978 Mark made his first experimental music recordings on cassettes, with the first Negativland LP being released in 1980 while he was still in high school.[1][2] He continues to record and perform with Negativland, and often performs solo as well.
Negativland's 2008 release, Thigmotactic, was a work of more traditional song-writing, primarily written by Hosler.[citation needed]
Hosler grew up in Concord, California, and he may currently reside in or near Asheville, North Carolina.[3][4]
