Ralf Hildenbeutel, about me

Hi, I'm a composer and producer. I started doing music at the age of 9 when I was educated in classical piano and composing. At this time I started to get familiar with composers such as Debussy, Bach, Chopin and others and this music follows me till today.

In the 90ies I produced and co-wrote the albums of Sven Väth on the legendary EYE Q label. It was the time of musicrevolution with electronical music. Techno, dance, ambient came up. I made an endless number of remixes for artists such as Anne Clark, Robert Palmer or Yello, with my project Earth Nation i toured live through Europe, playing on festivals such as the Montreux Jazz Festival and others. This was also the time when I was awarded with the "VIVA Comet" award as producer.

I always loved doing music for films and worked regularly on scores over the years. The soundtrack to the stunning art-movie "Hommage á noir" won the Goldmedal Award for score on the New York Filmfestivals.

1997 was the time of new directions and I concentrated on artist related work. With the production team "Schallbau" (with Stevie B-Zet & A.C.Boutsen) we produced some of the most successful artists in Germany such as Laith Al-Deen (5 gold albums incl 4 top ten), Yvonne Catterfeld (4 gold/platinum albums) or Simon Collins. In that time I also did a lot of international songwriting during my stayings in London.

In 2008 I founded my little label "Rebecca & Nathan" to release my own solo projects and artists such as Cargo City.
Since a couple of years I'm concentrating on filmmusic and together with Stevie B-Zet I've been scoring several movies such as the awarded movie "Vincent will meer" ("Vincent wants to sea").

I am very happy and grateful that I can do what I love to do.
