Lover of orchestral film scores and epic music.

I had started making music in the 90s with my Amiga 500 but it wasn't capable (me neither) of producing the sound of a whole orchestra.

The diverse musical expressions in filmscores have a bigger emotional impact than any other genre I can think of. My music is heavily inspired by the great composers around 1980-2000, like John Williams, Jerry Goldsmith, James Horner, Basil Poledouris and Hans Zimmer.

With synthesizers, a whole new world of sound has entered the arena and merges with the orchestra to a fantastic sonic experience.

I try to tell stories and convey emotions in my pieces to take you onto a journey into unknown territory.

As a young German composer I began to create my own melodies by the age of six. To date, I have released three albums, composed scores for a number of productions and had several performances with the piano.
Before cultivating my interest and fall in love with composition, I performed on different stages with the piano - mostly for non-profit organizations.
When I discovered the piano for myself, I took six years of study with the diploma music teacher A. May (graduate of the Liszt School of Music in Weimar).
Since 2014 I collect profound experiences as a composer for film music, production music for professionals in film,
television, radio, advertising and as a performer on stage. Very soon I found my own style for orchestration and the love for diverse instruments, such as guitar, accordion and finally piano.
By following the spirit of great film composers, I always searches for new sound experiences and impressions, exploring
both classical and modern methods.
Melodies rise out of great sound environments and impress with new discovered sounds, which create an atmosphere of its own.
Every track I've created is my own work. In this, expressions, depth, emotion and elegance are elements, which seems to grow with every new composition.
I released my debut solo album "Live" on August 8th, 2016. In 2017, I began to work with the Westwood sisters - Annette and Emma Westwood. The movie "Whoever you are..." took home many awards including Gold Award Best Original Score on the Independent Shorts Awards in Los Angeles.

 

Motivated by my dream - to write music for a great movie, I compose with all my heart and full of passion.

MARIE WILHELMINE ANDERS is a wanderer in music. Musically and instrumentally trained since her earliest childhood, she received her first technical training as a sound engineer at GDR television. She played keyboards in a punk band in the East Berlin underground music scene, created field recordings and sound installations, studied classical composition at the University Of The Arts Berlin, and graduated as a music teacher at the Musikhochschule Stuttgart. In Stuttgart she was an active part of the experimental improvisational scene playing piano as well as a set of electronics. There she founded two ensembles, "Unterton" and "Hammerhaus", both of which brought together groove and free-flowing improvised forms from different perspectives. Additionally, she initiated and directed “momentmusik"—a concert series for experimental and improvised music, visual arts, performance and spoken word, which established the connection between her ensembles and the national and international scenes. 

In 2005 she ended her concert activity and moved back to Berlin. Eager for new forms of expression, Marie learned to play the electric bass, and began producing her music using DAWs and publishing it under the pseudonym Marie Wilhelmine Anders.

Marie's conceptual thinking and her craft as a modern classical composer allow her to congenially translate non-musical concepts into a modern electronic language, influenced by techno, electronica, ambient music and drum & bass. Between 2018 and 2023 she released 6 albums, 2 EP’s, over 10 remixes and more than 20 mixes. As a producer, Marie likes to work alone and independently. She is also increasingly in demand as a remixer.

Her best friend writes: "Marie works her way out of all restrictions and experiments with styles and musical directions.Thereby she adapts formal means and creates something very much her own out of it. As always, I am impressed by her accuracy in everything she does. Marie is the secret Phoenix among my friends, who every time after it has turned to ashes, puts on a new and even more splendid plumage. I have great admiration for her consistency, uncompromising artistry, unconditional honesty, absolute fidelity and loyalty. One speaks of the Phoenix as an eternally youthful bird. And he can fly.”
