He operates in the field of electronic music and multimedia art, with a marked interest in natural sounds, spatialization and interactive systems.
He builds his electronic music from natural sounds and synthetic instruments.
Since 1988 he has explored various approaches to sound generation, recording and production, the resulting compositions are often studies in transforming, mutating existing sounds.
The techniques range from the construction of original instrument and the capturing of acoustic phenomenon through environmental field recordings to digital multi-tracking and manipulation.
His musical search is put into effect mainly in the search of an integration between human and nature.
His musical studies started from the study of piano and violin to pass then to electonic music and multimedia through courses and workshops.

Marc Behrens
Born in Darmstadt, Germany, M Behrens has lived and worked in Frankfurt a.M. since 1991; he also has been a citizen of Elgaland-Vargaland since 1997.
After beginning his musical studies in experimental jazz and rock groups in the late 1980s and pursuing a series of tape releases, acoustic feedback recordings, and multimedia works throughout the 1990s, today Behrens is perhaps best classed as a "sound artist", working across performance, installation, and recorded media. He has performed and exhibited extensively across Eastern and Western Europe, in Japan, the Middle East, and North America.
Behrens creates delicate and beautiful electronic music from edited and processed field recordings made in mountain forests, building interiors, subway trains, construction sites, and with additional sound material from manipulated objects; e.g. rubber balls, blocks of wood. In concert he sometimes uses contact microphones to play parts of the performance space or his body.
CDs of Behrens' work have been released on Trente Oiseaux (D), Digital Narcis (JP), Raster-Noton (D), edition... (USA), Intransitive (USA), sirr.ecords (PT), and Absurd (GR).
