About

Raffael Seyfried's work takes place on the border between acoustic and electronic material. He explores the dynamic processes and characteristics that are present in both media. By subtly mixing these elements, he creates warm and unusual soundscapes, free from the constraints of a particular genre. His live performances focus on the interaction between piano and modular synthesizer, sounds that change and influence each other. The result of this process is a multi-faceted sound world, sometimes planned, sometimes spontaneous and improvised.

As composer he found work on international film and television productions like “Eternal You” (2024), “The Lady With The Arrows” (2024), "The Dive" (2023) or “The Lost Souls Of Syria” (2022). He also composes music for various projects such as the radio feature "Marslandung in Rio Tinto" (DLF 2018), the dance piece "Unbearable Darkness" (Tanzhaus Düsseldorf 2018) or the sound performance "Murmur et Hum" (2018).

Together with colleagues Jan Andrees and Gregor Keienburg he founded the orchestration company Ricochet where they orchestrated projects like “Dune: Prophecy” (2024) or “Conclave” (2024).
