The correct impression is only transported by the connection of picture and sound. The work on Scores for film represents again and again a new and exciting challenge, because you may not be content with conventional samples, but you have to go your own new ways for each new film. So you have to exhaust the whole range of musical expression and get inspired by different musical culture areas. The variation of the instruments, tone qualities, rhythms, harmonies and melodies and the possibility of unorthodox arrangements is for me particularly significant.
Christoph Fleischmann (born 1978 in Regensburg) began his musical career at the age of 8 years with playing the violin. Later he got piano lessons. Decisive for his musical influence was the classical guitar instruction two years later. Very soon he came into contact with the Flamenco and various South American music styles.
He had lessons with Ricardo Havenstein (classical guitar) in Munich and Merengue de Cordoba (Flamenco) in Cordoba/Spain. Further he had lessons with Nelson Faria (Bossa Nova) in Rio de Janeiro/Brazil and in Buenos Aires/Argentina with Gustavo Cusmano (Tango). 2005 Christoph Fleischmann began playing the accordion and 2007 the trumpet. With these instruments he extended his horizon by klezmermusic, balkan influenced sounds and Jazz harmonics.
His career of the film music composition began 2005. After some short films he participated 2011 in the score competition “Filmtonart” and got a praising mention.
