Paul J. Berentzen on SoundBetter

Atmospheric, melodic, orchestral, electronic, hybrid scores - located right in the center of Germany and the very heart of Europe, based on a versatile musical education, having learned from fine composers, producers and engineers and just having received a nomination for the "GRAND PRIX ERIC SERRA 2025", I musically carry your story.

Feature projects: For over a decade I composed music for Europe's most successful telenovela "Sturm der Liebe", viewed by a large audience around the globe in more than 20 countries.

I wrote the score for an epic Chinese tv series, CCTV's (Central Chinese Television) "Hawthorn Tree Forever". A true love story from the time around the Chinese cultural revolution in the last century. My colleague Eduard (editing / co-composing additional music) and I were the first ever composers from the western hemisphere to be permitted to write for Chinese television.

Somatone / Emeryville entrusted me with writing for casual games. Amongst the games I wrote for, the score for "Azada" / "Azada Ancient Magic", recorded with the "Babelsberg Film Orchestra", was nominated for the "ZEEBYS" (audience award) as "Best Soundtrack / Casual Games" 2008.

For Megatrax / Sound Adventures I wrote and produced two volumes for cinematic promotion. "Ascension" - recorded with an orchestra in Budapest, was among Megatrax's best selling volumes around the time it was released.

For a short film score ("Apnee En Grotte"), a film by Christian Petron (known for working a.o. with Luc Besson and James Cameron), I received a nomination for the "GRAND PRIX ERIC SERRA 2025".

    Working with Paul has been a wonderful experience.He is a versatile composer with a clear musical vision and great artistry. I had the pleasure of contributing to his composition by playing soprano and alto recorders, Celtic flute, and ocarinas. Paul’s openness and clarity throughout the creative process made collaboration smooth and rewarding. He knows exactly what he wants musically, and yet remains open to creative input. Thank you for having me and looking forward to more collaborations!
