Marnix Vinkenborg (1997) is a composer, theater maker and performer based in Amsterdam.
He obtained a bachelor with honours in electronic music composition at HKU and a master's degree in music theater at ArtEZ.
In PRESSURE COOKER he locked up artists in a barrack to create a performance. In PENTHOUSE PITCH he sold penthouses to an unwilling audience. He created MUSIC AND SOUND DESIGN for artists ranging from designers to theater makers.
Singing alter-ego MARTIN MALIBU breaks the rules of music performance and was shown (among others) at the Netherlands Film Festival and FASHIONCLASH.
Marnix is inspired by obscure pop music, talented creators, local news and media, synthesizers and studios: off-beat stories told with shiny sounds.

Autonomous projects
My mission is remixing musical theatre and opera to absurd experiences. I want my audience to think “what the fuck just happened?” instead of “what was this about?”.
