Hauptmeier|Recker

Since 2009 the composers Martin Recker and Paul Hauptmeier have been working together as an artist duo in the fields of composition, sound, and multimedia art.

The duo is engaged in diverse domains, spanning opera, live electronic performance, radio art, electroacoustic music, and site-specific installation.

Together they studied composition with Robin Minard and Maximilian Marcoll at the Hochschule für Musik FRANZ LISZT Weimar, as well as at the “University of California San Diego” with Katharina Rosenberger, Natacha Diels and Miller Puckette (Paul Hauptmeier) and at the Sibelius Academy Hesinki with Marianne Decoster-Taivalkoski (Martin Recker).

They are co-founders and board members of ZiMMT – Center for Immersive Media Art, Music and Technology – in Leipzig. There they curate events and conduct research in the field of spatial audio (www.zimmt.net).

Since 2022 they are teachers for sound art at the Burg Giebichenstein University of Art in Halle, Germany.
