About

Marco Wedel is a Berlin-based musician, composer, and humanities scholar whose creative and academic pursuits span music, political philosophy, and technology. His work embodies a transdisciplinary approach, merging artistic and social-scientific perspectives.

With formal training in jazz, composition, and improvisation – including studies at Berklee College of Music – his music seeks to unify texture, structure, and emotion in ever changing essays. His compositions often reflect themes of uncertainty and transformation, balancing between tension and calm. As a performer, he seeks out moments of resolution in times when resolution seems increasingly elusive.

Marco holds a PhD in political philosophy from Freie Universität Berlin and works as a researcher at the Technical University of Berlin. His research focuses on digitization, artificial intelligence, and democratic participation, subjects that influence and inform his artistic practice. Central to his work is the belief in doubt as a vital source of both artistic integrity and civic responsibility – an openness to (self-)questioning that fosters creativity, resilience, and deeper engagement with the world.

Throughout his career, Marco has collaborated with an array of artists from various disciplines, performed across Germany and abroad, and contributed to numerous artistic and academic initiatives.
