As part of Music Current Festival 2025.
In his presentation, Maximilian Marcoll will discuss the context in which the Amproprification series was created, offering insight into its conceptual foundation, technical aspects, and the specifics of the individual movements in Amproprification VI.
This two-hour workshop is suitable for musicians, composers and concert-goers, or anyone with an interest in electronic music and how it is composed, or how technology can be integrated into composition and performance.
Maximilian Marcoll studied percussion, instrumental and electronic composition in Lübeck and Essen, Germany. His work centres on media-reflective aspects of music, as well as the social and political potential of music and sound.
His most recent works include pieces of the series ‘NUT | LAC’, which deal with the paradox of the simultaneity of interruption and flow in the form of slowly progressing pulse shifts; the series the ‘Ampropfications’ series, in which he superimposes layers of amplification on works by other composers; a series of monodic electronic canons and “Control Issues”, a series of works for control devices with motorised faders.
Since 2021, he has been teaching as Professor of Electroacoustic Composition and Sound Art at the the University of Music and the Bauhaus University Weimar. He lives in Weimar and Berlin. http://www.marcoll.de
