Nicolas Mischke – Picture by Petar Petkov

My goal is to tell stories through music, in all different kinds of media of today’s world (Film, TV, Streaming, Games) or on stage. My main compositional focus lies on a modern mix of orchestral and electronic music, where I can either make use of established patterns and compositional practices with a twist, or create something entirely new and fresh (or both). Supporting the existing narrative in the best and most immersive way possible is key to me. While I would consider Animation, Sci-Fi and Fantasy my strong suit, I am looking forward to further broadening my horizon and working in many different areas and genres!

My experience as a musical director for musical theatre, as well as a composer and musician myself, form a solid foundation of knowledge and proficiency in a wide range of genres of music from Pop, Electro, or Metal, to classical symphonies and opera. Since I have been active as a trumpetist and pianist/keyboarder for many years in different ensembles like symphonic orchestras, choirs and bands, I bring practical experience in many different environments to the table as well.

Apart from my Bachelor’s degrees in business informatics and music informatics, I attended a one-year preparatory course in Advanced Film Scoring and Production and the one-month long Screen Composer Academy summer program to refine my skills as a composer and producer. Since my graduation from the Film Scoring Academy of Europe last year, I have been working as a musical director for various musical productions.
