15 March 2025 Colchester (GB) - Colchester Arts Centre
Back to concert list I played a concert at Colchester Arts Centre in Colchester (United Kingdom) on the 15th of March 2025 — if you were there it would mean a lot to me if you would share your impressions and thoughts and maybe even some pictures with me!
Your thoughts, memories and pictures
Unforgettable
Fusion of classical piano and electronic experimentation, created an atmosphere that was both intimate and expansive. The light show elevated the performance to another level. The interplay between light and sound made the experience feel almost otherworldly—liberating in a way that few concerts manage to be. Time seemed to dissolve… Thank you🙏
shall we go extrovert and restart the weekend? or shall we go deep? you did both. Thank you, music from and for the heart.
Emotionally complex, meditative and confronting. This performance was a work of art that I feel so lucky to have experienced. Thank you Martin Kohlstedt.
Immersive experience
Sitting at the front row made this concert a fully immersive experience as I was following Martin’s facial expressions in sync with the music . A totally unique fusion of classical , electronic , jazz and dance beats . One of my personal fav gig experiences.
A wonderful mind opening experience. I had dreams full of possibility after this show and woke the next morning reflecting on my work as a counsellor about concepts like "unfolding" and "carrying forward" (Gendlin). It's really given me some inspiration. Thank you so much
Martin irons out any stresses
So wonderful to see/hear Martin perform again at the Arts. He blends classical with electronica & transports you to an inner peace where there any no concerns or worries. The lights used add to the atmosphere & draw you in. Come back soon, please! Ps. Loved the ironing board meet & greet 'table'.
Holistic
As a purely musical experience, this was transcendent. But witnessing the improvisational construction of the sonic components Martin intended to use, and then to hear them incorporated in the performance was mesmerising. Add in the light show and your mind is being blown. But you’re in safe hands. Martin’s warm, halting, self-effacing exposition is inclusive. You are on the inside. And you are privileged. A wonderful night.
I just wanted to say thank you for the most unforgettable gig on Saturday night, it was such a deeply emotional and profound experience - like being taken in a journey through sound and feeling. I came away from it with a fresh sense of appreciation for life, and that is a beautiful gift to receive from music. Good luck with the rest of your tour and please come back to Colchester!
Hello Martin, saw you at Colchester on Saturday and was blown away with your unique craftsmanship, fabulously simple but so effective lighting and your humble and friendly manner. Nice to briefly meet you afterwards . . I hope next time you’ll have ‘talent’for sale.
Absolutely magnificent. Incredible performance with such depth and variety from the improvisation, then the staging and lighting extend that into an otherworldly dreamscape. Wonderful.
