Stefan Goldmann (born 1978) is a German-Bulgarian DJ and composer of electronic music. His work has been described as intelligent minimal techno. [1]
Since 2001 Goldmann's music has been released through labels such as Perlon, Innervisions and others. [1] Since 2006 Goldmann has also been closely associated with Berlin's Berghain / Panorama Bar club, for which he wrote a column, [2] is a co-author of its book [3] and conceived the Elektroakustischer Salon event series. [4]
In 2010 he collaborated with choreographer Kevin O'day on a ballet commissioned by Nationaltheater Mannheim. [5] Since then he has realized several commissioned and site-specific works outside the club circuit, including performances at Honen-in Temple in Kyoto, Japan (also released as a recording), [6] the Los Angeles County Museum of Art [7] and Zollverein in Essen. [8] In 2016 he premiered the large format music theater work Alif at Berlin's MaerzMusik festival [9] and wrote the soundtrack to Swiss experimental documentary film A1 in the same year. [10] In 2020 he was invited to curate the Philharmonie Berlin's first electronic music program, Strom Festival, where he also performed in the Grand Hall. [11]
Goldmann has written essays on digitization [12] and the aesthetics of electronic music and has written a book on sound presets. [13] He has held lectures and workshops on invitation of DAAD, [14] the Berlin University of the Arts [15] and other institutions. As an artist in residence he has been a fellow of Villa Kamogawa in Kyoto (2012), [16] Villa Aurora in Los Angeles (2017), [17] the German Academy in Rome – Casa Baldi (2022) [18] and the Tarabya Cultural Academy of Istanbul (2023). [19]
Based in Berlin, Germany, Macro was founded by Goldmann and Finn Johannsen [20] in 2007. [21] Its releases range from techno tracks to symphonic recordings [22] [23] and include multiple live bands such as Elektro Guzzi [24] and KUF [25] in addition to releases by artists such as KiNK, Maria Chavez, Peter Kruder, Pete Namlook, Raudive, Santiago Salazar and remixes by Pépé Bradock, Ricardo Villalobos and The Knife's Oni Ayhun. [26] The label has also released archival recordings such as the previously unreleased [27] Patrick Cowley album Catholic. Several of its releases have been nominated for the Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik, including works by Stefan Goldmann and Maria Chavez, [28] [29] and have entered annual polls of media such as Resident Advisor, [30] [31] De:Bug [32] and Groove Magazin. [33] [34]
Goldmann is the son of German composer and conductor Friedrich Goldmann. [1]
Remixes include works for Christian Fennesz, Igor Stravinsky, Santiago Salazar, Kenny Hawkes, Freaks, DENA, Pantha du Prince, Pierre Boulez, Sergey Rodionov and others.
