This is the story behind the amazing and captivating music of “Babylon Berlin”.
“Babylon Berlin” has become one of the most popular TV series – and especially the music has captured the particular atmosphere of the time when Berlin was a dark and raving city in the roaring twenties and just on the brink of the catastrophe.
In this session you can meet award-winning musician, music director, film composer and also the co-writer behind the famous track, “Zu Staub, Zu Asche”, Nikko Weidemann, in a conversation with film composer, Halfdan E.
Nikko Weidemann has been working with prominent musicians and projects such as Nena, Nick Cave, Einstürtzende Neubauten, Rufus Wainwright, Sean Lennon & Conny Plank, and he’s been working on a long list of German film projects – including “Babylon Berlin”. Today he’s touring with the Moka Efti Orchestra – which is also the name of the famous and notorious nightclub from the series.
Halfdan E is known for his score composition for “Borgen”, “Badehotellet” and the Netflix-series, “Ragnarock” a.o. – and he is also known for his work with Danish poet, Dan Turéll – and last but not least, Halfdan composed the latest signature for Danish State Railways.
