Martin Kohlstedt is a German pianist, composer, and producer whose dazzling creations offer a contemporary approach to blending classical music with avant-garde styles. He has collaborated with artists such as Christian Löffler, Peter Broderick, Douglas Dare, and Sudan Archives, and has released six albums—the latest being “Feld” (2023)—as well as over a dozen singles, EPs, and thirteen soundtracks, the most recent being “Grace” (2020). Before launching his solo career, he studied multimedia art at Bauhaus University Weimar and pursued studies in jazz piano, while also working as an electronic music producer.
In his live performances, Martin primarily uses grand and upright pianos in combination with a Fender Rhodes and various synthesizers. As a point of reference, in a review of his London stage debut, The Daily Telegraph noted that “his repetitive patterns and modal harmonies sometimes evoke music often described as hypnotic, ranging from Ryuichi Sakamoto to Einaudi.”
