Since 2002, Dell has directed the Institute for Improvisation Technology, published his book Prinzip Improvisation in the same year, and theoretically explores urban planning and architecture.

After receiving his doctorate and post-doctorate, he held professorships in urban planning in Hamburg and Munich, among other places, and his research interests include the practice and organizational processes of the contemporary city.

In 2022 Dell was awarded the Hessian Jazz Prize, and he is also a foreign scholarship holder for architecture from the German Federal and State Cultural Foundation at the Cité Internationale de Paris.

In his project The Working Concert Dell brings together his many musical-compositional, aesthetic, and research interests. His concert is conceived as a discursive performance format in which a variable ensemble flexibly handles the various, composed modules. The improvisatory moment thus not only refers to a musical practice, but also shows itself as a specific attitude towards the material.
