Heimat Natur

95 min. documentary (cinema) about the different natural habitats in Germany, from the alps in the south to the seas in the north. This journey through nature is built around breathtaking shots and stunning time-lapse sequences, revealing the beautiful secrets of our flora and fauna.
The soundtrack (a collaboration with Dominik Eulberg) has a clear emphasis on electronic elements and may well be my most electronic score so far. Even though nature and electronic music may seem contradictory, the pulse of both worlds allows music and picture to merge with one another most beautifully. The score consists of numerous layered guitar recordings in many different styles (picking, strumming, bowed, bottle-neck), combined with rather unusual instruments such as throat singers and celesta. This special combination of musical colours creates a mystical wild-west-feel, staging those amazing animals in the vast landscape of Brandenburg.
