Horst Schlämmer sucht das Glück – The Orchestral Recording

Posted on by CWI

 

Project: Horst Schlämmer sucht das Glück (2016) – Movie

Client: Philipp Noll – Leonine Studios

We Did: Orchestral Production

 

From Script to Score: Bringing “Horst Schlämmer sucht das Glück” to Life and to the Movies

The return of Germany’s most iconic journalist required a soundscape that was as grand as his ambitions and as charming as his signature overbite. At Dynamedion, we are thrilled to announce our contribution to the highly anticipated film, Horst Schlämmer sucht das Glück.

 

A Symphony of Comedy and Heart

For this project, we had the pleasure of collaborating closely with the talented composer Philipp Noll. His score strikes the perfect balance between cinematic sweeping themes and the quirky, rhythmic energy required for a high-stakes comedy.

 

Recording with the Budapest Art Orchestra

When it comes to delivering a rich, emotive sound, we didn’t have to look far. We returned to our long-term partners at the Budapest Art Orchestra.

Having worked together on countless award-winning productions, the synergy between Dynamedion’s production team and the Budapest musicians is seamless. Their ability to translate Philipp Noll’s intricate arrangements into a breathing, vibrant performance is what makes this soundtrack truly special.

  • The Venue: Recorded in the historic, acoustically superb East Connection Studios.
  • The Sound: A full symphonic orchestra providing everything from soft tender moments to grand romantic gestures.
  • The Expertise: Dynamedion’s supervision, ensuring every note and sound is exactly in line with the composer’s visions.

 

Dynamedion: Your Partner in Orchestral Excellence

As specialists in orchestral music production, we pride ourselves on managing the entire pipeline, from the first MIDI mockup to the final mixed master. Whether it’s an epic AAA game or a character-driven feature film like Horst Schlämmer, our mission remains the same: delivering the soul of the story through music.

“Working with Philipp and the Budapest Art Orchestra again was a highlight for me and our team. Congratulations on creating a truly remarkable score. We are proud to have contributed to your vision.” – Chris Wirtz

Heidi: Rescue of the Lynx – Recording the film score

Posted on by CWI

 

Project: Heidi: Rescue of the Lynx

Client: Ute Engelhardt

We Did: Orchestral & Solo Production

 

Recording the Music for Heidi: The Legend of the Lynx

 

Music has always been an essential part of the Heidi films, closely connected to the Alpine setting and its musical traditions.

For Heidi: The Legend of the Lynx, this heritage played an important role in shaping the sound of the new score.

We worked closely with composer Ute Engelhardt during the recording process to capture a musical language that reflects both the cinematic scope of the film and the characteristic sound world associated with the Alps.

The score was recorded with a full symphonic orchestra, allowing the music to move naturally between intimate moments and broader orchestral passages.

Alongside the orchestra, several solo instruments were recorded to highlight musical themes that draw inspiration from Alpine musical traditions.

These elements give the score a distinctive character while connecting it to the long-standing musical identity that audiences associate with Heidi.

The recordings were realized in close collaboration with our partners at GENUIN classics, whose experience in classical music production helped capture the detail and balance of the orchestra and solo performances.

By combining symphonic writing with references to Alpine sound traditions, the music of Heidi: The Legend of the Lynx continues the musical heritage of the Heidi films while presenting it in a new cinematic context.

And we are proud to have helped Ute in achieving this great task.

Creating the sound of Pagiona

Posted on by FDI

Project: Pioneers of Pagonia

Client: Envision Entertainment

We Did: Music Composition • Music Production  • Sound Design • Technical Sound Design

Envision Entertainment are, quite literally, Dynamedion’s oldest clients, and we have contributed to several of their projects over the last twenty plus years.
So naturally, when they asked us to work on their new city-building game Pioneers of Pagonia, we jumped to the opportunity – and we were particularly thrilled to be entrusted with all aspects of the game’s audio, from a little sound design for the first teaser trailer to the creation and integration of the full soundscape and original soundtrack.

Three years, 5,157 sound effects and 59:33 minutes of music later, we look back on a wonderful project.

Getting Started

The primary objective in developing the game’s sound and music was to find a sound palette that reinforces its core experience.
Pioneers of Pagonia is a relaxed, player-friendly game that avoids punitive mechanics and naturally adapts to each player’s pace and style. With that in mind, we focused on creating a gentle, calming, and rewarding sonic atmosphere that supports the game’s overall mood.

Bustle!

Of course, the defining element of the game is its „Wuselfaktor“ (the „bustle factor“), the liveliness and vibrancy of a growing community full of tiny people and animals running to and fro between lots of buildings producing tons of goods, lovingly animated so the player can closely follow the transportation and transformation of goods in real time, contributing to a lively and dynamic settlement—the “Wuselfaktor” (bustle factor).

To contribute tot hat, we devoted considerable attention to the sound design of the building animations. We aimed to craft detailed sounds that enrich the soundscape, maintain clarity even when triggered repeatedly, and avoid listener fatigue.

To bring the stars oft he show, Pagonia’s Pioneers, to life, we produced custom voice-over lines that match the game’s tone and emphasize its warm, welcoming atmosphere.

As a very special addition to the voice overs we created, we had the honor to record five influencers who generously lent their voices to our lovely in-game characters.

Not only were the recordings sessions a lot of fun, their remarkable performances are a genuine enrichment to the game.

The Tunes

A big contributor to any game’s tone is, of course, the music. Composed by veteran composer Alex Röder, the Pioneers of Pagonia soundtrack accompanies you through your adventures without ever intruding. And every now and then, when the moment is right, it takes center stage, accentuating the emotional and dramatic moments.

Same as the soundscape, the music for the endless game mode needed to feel positive and friendly to convey both the beauty of untouched nature and the various aspects of the stages of building.

For the campaign music, Alex crafted individual themes to lend character to the different factions and accentuate their differences.

Highlights

Lead Technical Sound Designer Philipp, when asked about his personal highlights of the project, had this to say:

“Creating sounds for the characters and enemy factions was really challenging and an extremely fun task. For some characters, defining their character through sound was as simple as a laugh – mischievous for the thief, or darker and rougher for the bandit. For others, it was more intricate: the Scav enemy faction, for example, got their own fantasy language – still somewhat human, but also coarse and a touch machine-like, to capture their defining trait, which is rapacious exploitation of natural resources. The same features reoccur in the Scavs’ sound design and music: metallic qualities, sounds of dirt and ore, and an overall industrial tone (well, as industrial as Pioneers of Pagonia can be).”

Thanks!

Working with the Team at Envision Entertainment was incredibly smooth and fun. They’ve been a wonderful partner who enabled and supported us to realize our shared vision for Pioneers of Pagonia’s sound and music. Thank you so much! We can’t wait to work with you again, be it later or sooner.
