Composer and Producer
Creating my own music was always part of my musical identity. After many years of experimental electronic production and band experience, I took an interest in composing contemporary classical music, taking theory and conducting courses during my studies at HMT Rostock. I often use a hybrid approach, incorporating both electronical production and "traditional" composition techniques.
Currently, I am working on creating a full concert-length percussion repertoire, which consists of solo and chamber music in various ensemble constellations. Alongside this I compose music for TV/film productions, keeping my own band projects always close at hand.
ZYKLUS describes a possible evolutionary history of mankind. From the emergence of early life forms, through development and technologization, to the “return” to space and the first contact with alien life. Descent: In the era of the Late Heavy Bombardment, the cradle is prepared for the development of the primordial soup. Emergence: Under the extreme atmospheric conditions on young Earth, first life is formed, which eventually develops into humans billions of years later. Veils/Parallels: Now we are at a crossroads: Will we manage to evolve as a species and solve global problems together, or will we regress through science denial and the unleashed power of self-induced climate catastrophe, possibly to the point of extinction? Escape Velocity: If we manage to find a way out of this phase, the path to interplanetary expansion of our species will be open to us. First Contact: The discovery of extraterrestrial life on an alien celestial body heralds a new era for mankind.
It’s the best piece I have ever come across that explores sound effects on the marimba in a really musical way. It is the essence of the piece rather than an ‘addition’. Maximilian is absolutely superb and the video work is really well done.
