Thomas Jaermann

In Bridge To Dystopia I combined acoustic orchestral instruments with processed sounds and synths. The distorted ambience should also contribute to the overall feeling of decay.
The middle section is a warm Adagio movement, a dream-like reminder of hope, love and confidence.

Split Apart Audio

I wrote this meditation on an old Swiss folk tune in memory of my doctoral advisor who did this year at the age of 58. The composition combines many facts related to him eg. he played the cello himself, he was an acknowledged folklorist and cultural anthropological researcher. This recording has been made with a common recording device and no mastering has been done. The musicians are the young and very talented cellist Johannes Herzog, and my former piano teacher Elisabeth Tanner (recorded 2 November 2018 in the assembly hall of the University of Zurich, Switzerland.

Hymn For Heroes

Let my music tell your story! Original - unique - astonishing! I'm a composer and musicologist (PhD) based in London and I score all genres of film, from short to animation, from documentary to feature film. Epic, dramatic, minimalistic or folkloristic - whatever your film requires.
