marco schröder bio

I studied cognitive musicology, philosophy, linguistics, and electro acoustic composition in Cologne and Weimar. I’m into experimental composition, 
electro acoustic live improvisation, generative  sound  environments since the early 2000’s.
I’m curious about history of sound art, aesthetics, philosophy, theory of science, ethnology, critique of political economy, value form theory, and taichi chuan. Sometimes I write about these topics. Sometimes I work as a audio technician or sound guy, but mainly I’m working as a social psychiatric case worker in Berlin.
