Martin Kohlstedt

Tag and Nacht

German composer, keyboardist and producer Martin Kohlstedt established his name with two inseparably linked albums: Tag (from 2012) and Nacht (from 2014). Classical music and electronics come together when Kohlstedt merges the classical grand piano, synthesizers and electronics in his live performances. The result is music that stands in the neoclassical tradition of composers such as Nils Frahm and Ólafur Arnalds. He calls it 'modular composing': where he can combine the different parts of his art in a different way at every performance. A mix of sounds, improvisation, the hall, the audience. In addition to his solo career, Martin Kohlstedt has also worked for theatre and film in recent years. And with his own label Edition Kohlstedt he has created his own stage for his unique pieces.
