early exposure to ruhr organs at the limit,

sense falling upward

Vye n. Reimann (occasional alias bādmarien) is a German–British composer of acousmatic music, electronic musician, and interdisciplinary researcher based in Berlin with a background in academic philosophy of art and cognitive psychology. Their artistic practice emerges from the frictions between electroacoustic composition, improvisation, and abstract techno.
Vye grew up in the post-industrial Ruhr surrounded by contemporary classical musicians and music, not least through countless hours of listening to the organ recitals of their father. Before turning to music creation and performance under the mentorship of acousmatic composer Julien Tarride, Vye completed an interdisciplinary research doctorate in analytic philosophy of art and cognitive psychology that was fully funded by UK Research and Innovation—a formative experience that continues to inform Vye’s perspectives on aesthetic listening, on musical expression at the limits of perceptual comprehension, and on intoxicatingly unsettling shades of aesthetic pleasure.
