Between Structure and Freedom: Martin Kohlstedt on His Live Album
“The courage to fail”—a mindset Martin Kohlstedt welcomes fully in both his music and life, allowing him to overcome boundaries and create without constraint. Growing up in the small German town of Breternitz, Martin’s journey began with classical piano training, a foundation that would later evolve into a unique fusion of genres. His music blendes classical structures with electronic elements, mixing tender melodies with powerful electronic textures. This interplay of ambivalence—between fragility and intensity—makes his compositions speak to the soul.
