BIOGRAPHY
Ralf created an epic electronic-orchestral hybrid score to the post-apocalyptic thriller, ESCAPE TO THE COVE, awarded at the Venice Film Awards and New York Movie Awards, and it is available on Amazon. Ralf scored the gritty and award-winning drama MELANCOLÍA, directed by Jorge Xolalpa and starring Alessandra Rosaldo, Mexican Telenovela star and lead singer of the multi-platinum selling band Sentidos Opuestos. Recently GESTALT, a documentary he scored, won a REMY at the WorlfFest-Houston.
Ralf spent a year apprenticing in Los Angeles with master orchestrator Tim Davies (FROZEN, LA-LA-LAND, WANDAVISION, etc.), during which he helped orchestrate and prepare music for the Netflix animated series TROLLHUNTERS, CHIPS (starring Michael Peña and Dax Shephard), TROLLS (starring Justin Timberlake), and Fox series EMPIRE.
Born in Vienna, Austria, Ralf took to the piano at an early age and also became a boy soprano, singing as a soloist in Austria’s elite children’s choir “Gumpoldskirchner Spatzen” and sharing the stage with international stars including The Three Tenors, Alejandro Fernadnez, The Scorpions, and Sarah Brightman.
Moving to Mexico as a young adult, Ralf played drums in local metal and progressive rock bands and studied music theory and composition under Eduardo Cota, while pursuing studies in psychology and music therapy in San Luís Potosí, México. He then returned to Vienna, enrolling in the School of Entertainment and Technology to study media composition, and moved to Los Angeles in 2015 and graduated from UCLA‘s Film Scoring Program.

“Working with Ralf on my audiobook was nothing short of inspiring. His score didn’t just accompany the story—it elevated it. Ralf has a rare gift for translating character, emotion, and world-building into music that feels alive. Every theme he composed serves the narrative perfectly, creating a soundscape that pulls audiences straight into the world. He’s an extraordinary talent and a true collaborator.
I can’t imagine this project without his music.”
