Ralf is an award
winning producer and film composer with a style shaped as much by
his eclectic background as by his classical education in piano and
composition and his obsession for electronic music.

He has been touring across Europe and playing at the Montreux Jazz Festival, London's Brixton Academy, Tribal Gatering Universe and others.
In that time he also produced various remixes for artists such as Anne Clark, Robert Palmer, Enigma or Yello and was awarded with the "Viva Comet" as Best Producer from Germany's music TV channel VIVA. 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. With the production-company "Schallbau" (together with Stevie B-Zet and A.C. Boutsen) he produced and co-wrote for artists such as Laith Al-Deen, Andreas Bourani or Phil Collins' son Simon Collins and many others. That time he archived several top ten entries and was awarded with numerous gold and platinum records.
Since 2010 Ralf is focusing on film music and he worked on various feature movies such as the awarded "Vincent will meer" ("Deutscher Filmpreis", 2012) and international productions such as the Italian limited series "Maltese" or "La Guerra è Finita".
His film music for the short movie "Momentum" (by Boris Seewald) received various awards such as "Cinedans" and a nomination for best music at the "Newport International Filmfestival" in UK in 2014. In 2017 he won the "Goldene Reiter" at the esteemed Filmfest Dresden for his score for the movie "Eine Villa mit Pinien".
