Welcome
My name is Dr. Markus Schmidt — musician, ethnomusicologist, nurse, and author. Exploring music, sound, and silence for more than four decades.
“Sound first led me to music, and music led me into silence. Today, silence is the compass of my work and the source from which my compositions and sonic landscapes emerge.”
On this site you will discover my story, my projects, upcoming events, and a collection of sounds, images, and ideas.
