PERCUSSIONIST | COMPOSER | CREATIVE DIRECTOR
Philosophy
All sound is intentional. Rhythm, sound and composition seek one purpose: to create an atmosphere giving the listener’s mind space to wander.
A percussionist’s desire is to extract a multitude of sounds from a seemingly simple instrument which requires great understanding and tactile sensibility for sound and care to details.
A project’s successful realisation is accomplished using synergies among artists to establish a clear common vision feeding into the bigger picture of the creators intention.

Press & Reviews
"A Masterclass in telling a story through the medium of instrumental music."
Northern Arts Review
"Composer Marc Strobel has worked wonders with the score (...) nothing appeared to be an afterthought."
Leeds Living
"An outstanding musical score by Marc Strobel..."
Dance Europe Magazine
"Before a single dancer sets foot on stage, a movement artist is already present - the musician, the percussionist Marc Strobel."
Bachtrack.com
"The music is impressive, driving and often repressive, a mainly percussive score by Marc Strobel, which creates both energy and atmosphere."
