Buntrock, Martin
Martin Buntrock was born in Bad Segeberg, Germany. He studied music and mathematics in Dortmund. The bass is his main instrument; he also plays the piano.
After graduating from university, he played bass in various professional orchestras and bands, frequently accompanying well-known singers. Since that time he has worked as a music arranger and producer for record and CD productions involving a wide range of artists and musical genres. In addition, he composes music for TV and radio as well as for advertising and industrial films.
He has gone on tour both with his own band TERRA and as a soloist in Germany and many other European countries.
In addition to these musical activities, he has contributed to a school textbook and developed computer programs for music, including the composition software which served as the basis for the production of his CDs of fractal music.
As part of a research project (”Gold System”) carried out at the Department of Psychology at the University of Essen, Martin Buntrock composed music which incorporates recent scientific findings concerning the effect of music on physiological processes. He coined the term ”special relaxation music” to describe these compositions located at the interface between music and therapy. For the last several years, he has been presenting this music to medical and psychological professionals at various congresses, conventions and postgraduate seminars.
