Adam Pultz Melbye

Adam Pultz Melbye is a Berlin-based musician, composer, researcher and audio programmer. He has released three double bass solo albums and has premiered sound installations and performances at Wien Modern (Austria), Murray Art Museum Albury (Australia), the Danish National Gallery of the Arts and Kunsthal Nord (Denmark), in addition to many other interdisciplinary projects and appearances around the world.
His work is currently focused on the creation of—and performance with—adaptive feedback performance systems, often interfacing the double bass with the digital domain.
Adam’s writing has been published in international journals and conferences and he is the guest editor of an issue on feedback practices for the ECHO Journal at Orpheus Instituut, Gent.
In both practice and writing, Adam explores adaption, materiality, resistance and unmastery, while interrogating notions of agency and intentionality within performance ecologies.
Adam is a PhD-researcher at SARC.
