Martin Kohlstedt is one of the most innovative composers, pianists, and producers of our time. His music effortlessly moves between modern classical sounds, atmospheric ambient, and forward-thinking electronica. The German artist is known for his modular compositions: pieces that are never fixed but constantly evolve through improvisation and interaction with space and audience. His work is a living organism of sound, where analog piano tones merge with synthesizers, cinematic soundscapes, and electronic textures.
He has collaborated with renowned partners such as the GewandhausChor Leipzig and artists like Ben Böhmer, Douglas Dare, Sudan Archives, and Henrik Schwarz. In addition to albums and concerts, he composes music for films, theater, and podcasts. Through his own label, Edition Kohlstedt, and a personal reforestation project, he combines artistic vision with ecological responsibility.
