This video was my submission for the Interactive Lab, a course of Sound and Music Production at the Hochschule Darmstadt. The task was to produce a sound design or a soundtrack/song for a 2 minute long edit of the film Koyaanisqatsi.
It was required to make 70% of sounds from scratch.
Enjoy!

Lyrics:
Don’t run
Don’t hide
No place
Inside
Our brains
And minds
Are filled
With lies

I was always trying to avoid
Looking further into my life
Is there something deeper  in disguise
Or am I just a superficial lie
What lies beneath?
What is the reason
For me to be
In this world
Am I free?
Am I alive?
Or am I just a part in someone else’s play

I am Vincent Ruhl, I work as a composer for film, advertising and artist.

All my work has one thing in common: A story. And that’s what excites me – enhancing a story with my music and trigger the viewer’s emotion.

For that I don’t limit myself to a certain sound palette. I always try to create a new sound world for each story and this can result in a large orchestral or electronic soundtrack or a minimal composition with few, but really intense elements.

This profile features my Audio Reel for 2023 as well as my university projects through different semesters.
