About Exit
EXIT was conceived by Sarah Killery to be an outlet for outlandishly good music and provide an independent portal for ground-breaking artists, like Mark Springer, to release the work they truly wanted to make and to get that music out to the world in one fell swoop - no delays, no commercial tweaking and no bending the music or artist to a corporate notion of what the market would accept. As the originator and creative director of Exit, she has propelled each album in concept, design and artistic direction to guide these new works out to the world - so Exit was her chosen name. With a background in the visual arts, film and literature, Killery designed the Exit logo and the first version of the website in readiness for the official launch CD on EXIT - EYE Mark Springer. - EYE Mark Springer.
The pianist and composer, Mark Springer started the group Rip Rig + Panic with fellow musicians Gareth Sager, Sean Oliver and featured Neneh Cherry and Andi Oliver. Springer worked closely with the remarkable jazz trumpeter, Don Cherry and their live musical collaborations were a key part of the amazing Japanese tours that famously represented RR+P’s improvisational virtuosity.
Springer composes works for solo piano, mixed instrumentation and orchestra while playing internationally as a soloist and performing his ensemble works for piano, strings and voice. His extensive discography exists on Virgin, Chrysalis, Warners, Mega-disc Classics and Exit plus Sub Rosa.
Through Exit, Killery and Springer have had the pleasure of working with fellow uncompromising artists to explore each one’s clear eyed vision. These have included; Juergen Teller’s photography for Eye Mark Springer (Exit001), Clive Deamer of Portishead, Nature Music Food The Stars and The Planets (Exit003), Bristol underground Electronica artists on Capture (Exit002), Master Tabla player Sirish Kumar First Light (Exit009), Arthur Jeffes, leader of The Penguin Cafe Orchestra, Aparat (Exit014), the renowned French string ensemble, Tana Quartet, who as well as playing on Matter (Exit019) have brought out the CD of Philip Glass’s most recent string piece King Lear, the novelist, David Flusfeder whose libretto for Springer’s opera was performed by the US Counter Tenor Derek Lee Ragin and Italian concert pianist Pietro Bonfilio - all appear on Army of Lovers (Exit018), … and most recently Neil Tennant.
The new album for 2025 is Sleep of Reason - featuring the lyrics and vocals of Neil Tenant and the Sacconi Quartet. It is a joint release with Exit and Sub Rosa.
