Testimonials

Maria Finkelmeier and her team at MF Dynamics are truly at the forefront of experiential art in Boston. On our project – Hatched: Breaking Through the Silence – her multidisciplinary approach allowed for the best possible combination of creatives who were handpicked to suit the needs of the project. The level of professionalism, skills, expertise, and exuberance among team members at MF Dynamics makes them all a joy to work with. Simply put, they will execute what they promise – and then some!

Michael Nichols, Executive Director, Esplanade Association, Boston, MA
We were thrilled to work with Maria and her team at MF Dynamics to host Project Daydream in the Cyclorama in November 2020. They were exceptionally professional, responsive, and collaborative - qualities made all the more essential given that their project was the first we had done live in the Cyclorama since the outset of the pandemic. The process was smooth, but the outcome - the art - was beyond our expectations and exactly what we needed. We were proud and honored to host the work in our space, and we hope to find more ways to collaborate in the future.

Maria Finkelmeier Percussionist Composer Boston

I love to make noise, to bring people together to experience a moment of joy or reflection, or to loudly share an idea or social narrative.

As a percussionist and composer, I explore new sounds and resonance with both traditional instruments, everyday objects, and pieces of architecture. As a public and digital artist, I love to develop teams of collaborators to discover ways to create accessible experiences using technology and community engagement.

Noise is sonic, but it’s also the bravery to take a leap into unknown territory, to build new bridges, and to manifest something beyond a single vision.
