Rolf Maier Bode — composer for science & fiction

Let's find the voice for your media:
I write and produce music for film, communication and events. When a project needs it, I deliver the final audio master including all sound effects, the mix and the mastering. Throughout, we stay in close contact, and the result follows your vision!

About

I started programming at thirteen, found synthesizers at fifteen, put out a record at seventeen. As RMB: six Top-25 singles in Germany, a gold record, hundreds of shows — Mayday, Love Parade, Nature One.

What I'm after hasn't changed since: the most sound can carry before it tips over — energy before it turns overblown, beauty before kitsch, the new before the merely strange.

Since 2005 I write for the screen. On the science side: documentary and animation — half-hour films, several for the European Space Agency, the Rosetta animation films among them, scored from a single electronic arpeggio to a full virtual orchestra. On the fiction side: narrative shorts — the ESA drama The Burn, and Aye Dee, winner of UC Berkeley's Eisner Prize. High production values from the first layout, produced and mixed to final in my own studio.

Music with no brief: lately I turn places, infrastructure and stories into sound. Maier/Bode/Hoffmann — field recordings made into songs — is the released one so far.
