About: Martin Kohlstedt

A Thuringian-born pianist and composer based in Weimar, Kohlstedt treats every concert as a live act of creation - his modular pieces shift and mutate in real time, shaped by the room, the audience, and the moment. Seven albums in, his sound now reaches further into synthesizers and electronics than ever before.
