MAREK stands for the musical escapades by the singer/songwriter, electronic-musician and DJ Christoph Marek. Despite the heterogeneous nature of MAREK's sharply contrasting musical approaches one can find several constant elements in MAREK's work: On the one hand there is his affinity to excess, which is articulated in the creation of pathetic and intensely affective states of being and the crossing over musical boundaries. On the other hand there is MAREKS's confession to dilettantism and daredevilish auditive liberties, which are based on punk socialization under bourgeois premises. Anyway, MAREK's music is about the creation of intense moods and the decontrolling of affections; one the goals which good pop music has tried to achieve since its early days.

MAREK oscillates between one-man-project, which is especially realized in his electronic journeys, and collective arrangements, such as the band "MAREK", which is about the live-performance of his guitar based songwriting, and DJ-collective Outstanding!, of which MAREK has been part since its foundation in 2003.
