Born 1996 in Erfurt, Germany, Maximilian Glass began his artistic practice at an early age. As a teenager, he received his first turntable and got in touch with DIY culture — spending his days at the local record store, organizing events, creating eclectic DJ sets, and publishing music through a collectively run imprint.
In 2016, he began shifting his focus toward sound itself. He got to know about radio art at Radio Corax in Halle(Saale) and started developing feedback-based performances, exploring architectures of transmission by approaching microphones and loudspeakers as instruments in their own right. Following his growing interest in sound as an artistic medium, Glass studied electroacoustic composition at Bauhaus University in Weimar and worked with Limpe Fuchs, further developing installation-based and object-oriented sound practices. After relocating to Berlin in 2022, he became active within the city’s vibrant Echtzeitmusik scene.
Over the years, Maximilian Glass has collaborated with numerous artists and performed internationally in independent and institutional contexts, including festivals, artist-run spaces, and galleries in Germany, Poland, Belgium, Italy, Portugal, Kurdish-Iraq, Mexico, and India.
