My name is Martin, I am an audio artist and live in Plauen, Germany.

I produce cinemmatic experimental electronic music (IDM/Glitch/Post-Electronica) using organic instrumentation, found sounds, field recordings and electronic sounds of all kinds. I see myself as a sound explorer and creative audio engineer always working on new unique sound design techniques for fusing, morphing and merging organic and anorganic sounds.

I am looking for new contacts with music producers, video producers and other artists. I’d love to work multidisciplinary in the future and can easily imagine making music for art exhibitions, short films, fashion shows and artistic events of all kinds.
Feel free to get in touch with me, preferably via Instagram.

My development so far as a music creator:

My musical development started in childhood when I learned to play melodica at the age of seven and accordion a year later. My music teacher recognized that I was practicing more than the others in my age group and moved me to an older group where the other students were all at least two years older. There I played the accordion for a few years and in my spare time, in addition to the pieces we played in the group, I learned other pieces by ear, mainly by Yann Tiersen and had a few performances at various events and at school. Along the way, I practiced singing a lot, playing guitar and piano, and soon could play pieces by Chopin mainly by ear. I passed a baccalaureate exam with top marks in music, performing “Go Do” by Jonsi by guitar and singing, and analyzing the song. For my high school graduation, I transcribed “Untitled 1” (a.k.a. “Vaka”) by Sigur Ros for 10 instrumentalists in my year on various instruments, singing and playing guitar. To this day, that was probably the coolest live performance of my life.
After graduating from high school, I studied biochemistry and trained as a medical lab technician. I worked in different laboratories, but that didn’t make me happy in the long run. Along the way, in my mid-twenties, I became interested in music production and my focus shifted from strumming on the piano and singing to exploring what was possible with the latest methods of digital music production. A whole world of unlimited creative possibilities slowly revealed itself before my eyes as I spent hours consuming music production tutorials on YouTube and tinkering around in Ableton myself.
Little by little I learned all the skills I need for music production, especially recording sounds and digital sound design, i.e. creating new sounds and abstracting them. I also conceive, write, mix and master all my tracks myself, which is very important to me to let only my true self flow into the process.
In my music, I try to break the genre boundaries of conventional dance music and bring in my IDM, Post Rock, Ambient and Neoclassical influences and tell stories with my tracks, while largely avoiding purely electronic sound sources and instead using instrumental sounds, vocal textures and field recordings as the starting point of my sound design to create a warm, interesting and unconventionally organic sound of my tracks.

My story as a music listener:

I have an extremely broad musical interest and find artists in almost every genre that I enjoy. I used to listen mostly to post rock, ambient, shoegaze, experimental rock and progressive metal, but over time I also added German experimental hip hop like that of Lemur and Käpt’n Peng and various electronic genres like house, drum&bass, neuro hop and dubstep, but I’ve always preferred experimental music, which is hard to categorize, to music that works according to a predictable scheme. I really like concept albums and musical storytelling, as well as bold sound design, and I’m always on the lookout for sounds and combinations of sounds that I’ve never heard before. The most influential artists in terms of my own music are Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Gregor Samsa, Sigur Rós, Jonsi & Alex, Jon Hopkins and Alon Mor.
