context_page_description: Martin Kohlstedt is a German composer, pianist and record producer with a contemporary approach of mixing classical and avantgarde music styles.
context_section_description: Kohlstedts approach to modular composing, in which a cohesive 'piece' does not exist but is rather always changing, was laid out by him in a 2017 TEDx-Talk. He also demonstrated the principle with the release of a single called "OMBLEH",  which is derived from the corresponding modules 'OMB' and 'LEH' from two different albums. (Another example live at the Elbphilharmonie ) Also, in 2017, the German newspaper Die Zeit published the first part of a filmed documentation about his work followed by the second part.
