About

Christoph M. Kaiser and Julian Maas have cre­at­ed sound­tracks for var­i­ous notable films over the past 20 years. 
Some of their ear­li­er film sound­tracks include This Is Love by Matthias Glas­ner, Remem­brance by Anna Jus­tice and the dystopi­an near-future dra­ma Days to Come by Lars Kraume, for which they were award­ed the Ger­man Film Crit­ics Prize in the cat­e­go­ry Best Music in 2010.

They also com­posed the music for the polit­i­cal thriller Two Lives by Georg Maas, which was Germany’s sub­mis­sion for the Best For­eign Lan­guage Film at the 2013 Oscars, as well as Jack by Edward Berg­er, which pre­miered at the 2014 Berli­nale and won the Ger­man Film Award in Sil­ver.
Among their most renowned scores are The Peo­ple vs. Fritz Bauer by Lars Kraume, earn­ing them a nom­i­na­tion for the Ger­man Film Award in 2015, Emi­ly Atef’s 3 Days in Quiberon, for which the com­posers won both the Ger­man Film Award and the Euro­pean Film Award in 2018, and the music for the TV-series Bauhaus‑A New Era, for which Kaiser & Maas were hon­ored at the Cannes Inter­na­tion­al Series Fes­ti­val 2019 in the Best Music cat­e­go­ry.

In addi­tion to their diverse work for cin­e­ma, Christoph & Julian have com­posed music for over 90 tele­vi­sion films, as well as an increas­ing num­ber of doc­u­men­taries and artist por­traits.

Depend­ing on the theme of each film, the duo cre­ates both clas­si­cal orches­tral scores and more exper­i­men­tal music, per­form­ing as many instru­ments as pos­si­ble them­selves.

Christoph and Julian work out of their own stu­dio in Ham­burg, Ger­many.
