Damian Marhulets is a classically trained composer, oboe player, and electronic artist based in Germany. He draws creative inspiration from the domain of the weird—where technology meets magic, and media intersects with mysticism. Fueled by a lifelong fascination with the radical fringes of artistic exploration and philosophical thought, Damian thrives in the blurred spaces between musical worlds. With a background rooted equally in classical music and the avant-garde tradition—enriched by his expertise in sound design, multimedia, and extensive work with new technologies—he rejects conventional musical norms to forge a distinctive sonic identity and venture into uncharted realms of creativity.

Siteless: VR Album / Installation

SITELESS is an inquiry into the future of music listening, a VR Album project that focuses on the convergence of non-linear music, user-centered interactivity and immersion made possible through VR technology. It puts its emphasis on crafting unique, adaptable musical listening environments that respond to user input and external cues. SITELESS provides listeners with a novel way to experience music, inviting them to explore sonic landscapes through their own choices and interactions with the virtual world.

 
 

The visionary amalgamation of music and VR not only enriches the world of music but revitalizes the very essence of our interaction with it. It brings forth a future where music becomes an immersive journey driven by discovery, unbound artistic expression, and true emotions—an evolution that elevates the soul of music beyond the constraints of the present situation.
