Scientific thinking is part of Michael Quell's essence. When he talks about theoretical physics, it becomes clear that he really wants to get to the bottom of things. But he is a musician, and in the end his engagement with string theory or with dark energy is an artistic one through and through. The highly complex structure of his music discharges, in a way, into sensual sound. String I for oboe solo was recorded by Benjamin Fischer, who also premiered in 2013. The chamber music works are interpreted by the Munich ensemble der/gelbe/klang, which is presenting a brilliant debut album with this recording.

With his second chamber music CD on NEOS, Michael Quell has once again provided a large variety of forms and instrumentations. In addition to the Freiburg-based Ensemble Aventure, this recording features four top-class guitarists who play microtonal guitars developed by Tolgahan Çoğulu. Other guests include soprano Christine Simolka and conductor Hermann Beyer. The works' titles betray the fact that Quell is intensely devoted not only to music, but to philosophy, theosophy, and the natural sciences.
Michael Quell was born in Fulda, Germany in 1960. He teaches at the Institute of Musicology at the Goethe University Frankfurt and is a guest lecturer at various universities. His works are performed regularly in Europe, the USA, Canada, South America, and Asia.
