Ralf is an award
winning composer and producer and has been working on film music,
artist production and his solo works. His style is shaped by
his eclectic background with his classical education in piano and
composition and strong electronic influences on his work since the
late 80'ies.

His score for the movie "Hommage á Noir" received the Goldmedal at the New York Festivals in 1996.
End of 9o'ies/first years of 00's was the time of new directions and the Frankfurt based musician started focusing on artist-related productions and songwriting. He founded the production-company Schallbau with Stevie B-Zet and A.C. Boutsen and they produced and co-wrote successful songs and various top ten albums for artists such as Laith Al-Deen, Andreas Bourani, Yvonne Catterfeld, Phil Collins' son Simon Collins and many others.
