Marek Arnold

Marek Arnold is a saxophonist, keyboardist, clarinettist, composer and producer, and has long been a fixture of the international progressive rock and art rock scene. He became known as a member of the East German art rock institution Stern Combo Meißen, through his duo with Manuel Schmid, and with his own bands Toxic Smile, seven steps to the green door, CYRIL, Flaming Row and DAMANEK, as well as his „Artrock Project“, which has since grown into a band in its own right. Since 2024 he has also been part of the project „Die schönsten Balladen aus dem Land vor unserer Zeit“ as instrumentalist and producer, alongside Dirk Zöllner among others, and he produces and hosts the „Stone Prog Podcast“.

Press Quotes

“MAREK ARNOLD’S ARTROCK PROJECT offers a tour de force of almost eighty minutes through many varieties of progressive rock. Symphonic grandeur and intimate explorations enter into a warm relationship… MAREK ARNOLD has shouldered his megalomaniac solo project with apparent ease, conveying delight and good humour, and leaves the field victorious together with his capable musical team.” ( Musikreviews.de, translated from German )
“There is a lightness and joy throughout this album, and a knack for hooks... This is a delight from beginning to end.” ( progarchives )
“For ten compositions these two exceptional artists present their by now well-known songwriting craft, which shines so brightly that in its beauty it could be mistaken for polished pop. Both possess the rare instinct for creating music that touches the soul even with German lyrics. Their words have substance and depth, their melodies reach into the soul, and their songs are perfectly arranged from the ground up… ‘Ziele’ once again contains not merely exceptional compositions but high points of music.” ( Saitenkult.de, translated from German )
