Career

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. 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.
Hosler grew up in Concord, California, and he may currently reside in or near Asheville, North Carolina.
