Since 2001 Goldmann's music has been released through labels such as Perlon, Innervisions and others. Since 2006 Goldmann has also been closely associated with Berlin's Berghain / Panorama Bar club, for which he wrote a column, is a co-author of its book and conceived the Elektroakustischer Salon event series. In 2010 he collaborated with choreographer Kevin O'day on a ballet commissioned by Nationaltheater Mannheim. Since then he has realized several commissioned and site-specific works outside the club circuit, including performances at Honen-in Temple in Kyoto, Japan (also released as a recording), the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and Zollverein in Essen. In 2016 he premiered the large format music theater work Alif at Berlin's MaerzMusik festival and wrote the soundtrack to Swiss experimental documentary film A1 in the same year. In 2020 he was invited to curate the Philharmonie Berlin's first electronic music program, Strom Festival, where he also performed in the Grand Hall. Goldmann has written essays on digitization and the aesthetics of electronic music and has written a book on sound presets. He has held lectures and workshops on invitation of DAAD, the Berlin University of the Arts and other institutions. As an artist in residence he has been a fellow of Villa Kamogawa in Kyoto (2012), Villa Aurora in Los Angeles (2017), the German Academy in Rome – Casa Baldi (2022) and the Tarabya Cultural Academy of Istanbul (2023).

Goldmann is the son of German composer and conductor Friedrich Goldmann.
