Martin Kohlstedt is a trail-blazing composer, pianist and producer of instrumental music and electronica.

His live shows set the standard for the integration of cutting-edge electronic production with analogue and acoustic approaches, and his musical style ranges effortlessly from classical to electronic to ambient sound and field recordings.

Kohlstedt intuitively combines inspirations and influences from fundamentally different worlds and soundscapes into something that feels more like a living body than a list of pieces.
