Ralf is an award
winning producer and film composer. His style is shaped by his
eclectic background as of his classical education in piano and
composition and his obsession for electronic music since the late
80'ies.
In the 90'ies he collaborated with Sven Väth on his major albums, released a countless number of club classics and founded his electronic live-project Earth Nation. He has been touring across Europe and playing at the Montreux Jazz Festival, London's Brixton Academy, Tribal Gatering Universe and others.

His film music for the movie "Hommage á Noir" received the golden medal at the New York Festivals in 1996.
In the end of 9o'ies/first years of 00's it was the time of new directions and Ralf started focusing on artist-related productions and songwriting. He founded the production-company Schallbau with Stevie B-Zet and A.C. Boutsen. They produced and co-wrote for artists such as Laith Al-Deen, Andreas Bourani, Yvonne Catterfeld, or Phil Collins' son Simon Collins. That time they archived several top ten entries and gold or platinum records.
Since 2010 Ralf is moving away from pop-productions and focusing on film music. He worked on feature movies such as "Vincent will meer" ("Deutscher Filmpreis", 2012 - German Film Acadamy Award) or international productions such as the Italian mini-series "Maltese".
