sergej maingardt kompositionSergej Maingardt graduated from the University of Applied Sciences in Düsseldorf with a B.Eng. in Media Technology and has a M.A. in Media and Cultural Analysis from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf. He is studying electronic composition with professor Michael Beil at the Univeristy of Music and Dance Cologne.
During his studies he has worked as composer, music producer and audio engeneer in a variety of different environments. The tension between his activities as a composer and as a scientist is an important aspect in his music. His interests are influenced  by modern technologies as well as the way they change human perception.

In his works he explores the limits of aesthetic principles of the contemporary music as well as those of aural cognition. Musical pieces for audio tapes belong to his work as the pieces for acoustic instruments and live electronics. In addition to his solo projects, he collaborates with video artists, choregraphers, and pop artists.
