EPISODE 122: Composer of the award-winning feature films Peace by Chocolate, Daughter of the Sun, and Botero, David Bertok writes for film, TV, and the concert hall. After graduating from music college in Germany, David enjoyed a busy career as a live musician touring Europe with progressive rock bands opening for acts such as Scorpions and Saga. His band, Subsignal, reached the German album charts twice during his tenure as keyboarder, songwriter, lyricist, and producer. In 2012, he relocated to Los Angeles on a Fulbright Scholarship and was admitted to the famed Scoring for Motion Picture and Television Program at USC. David’s lush orchestral themes and distinctive melodic approach can be heard on Netflix’s Chef’s Table and Home Game, as well as Amazon’s Brittany Runs a Marathon and For the Love of George, just to name a few. David’s musicography extends to songwriting, producing, and more. He has lent his orchestration skills to the 2018 Deadmau5 release of “Where’s the Drop?”, arranging for 2018 America’s Got Talent Semi-Finalists Angel City Chorale, collaborating with German Idol winner Marie Wegener and scoring a 60-minute symphonic orchestra work for the art installation “Stranger-Mankind” debuting in Munich in 2022. Whether scoring for a full orchestra or creating an intimate piece with a single piano, David has the spectral ability to tap into a project’s soul and lift it off the screen into your memory. Recent projects include the feature films Daughter of the Sun (Audience Award winner at Montreal’s Fantasia Film Fest), Peace by Chocolate, which premiered at the 2021 Tribeca Film Festival, and the documentary Botero, brilliantly highlighting the life and works of legendary Columbian artist Fernando Botero. David has recently been nominated for a Hollywood Independent Music Award in the Contemporary Classical category for his piece “Fontana dell’Anima.” davidbertok.com

EPISODE 118: Volker Bertelmann aka Hauschka is an international acclaimed pianist, composer and experimental musician. In 2023 he was honored with an Academy Award and a BAFTA in the Best Score category for his work on All Quiet on the Western Front (directed by Edward Berger). His score to Garth Davis’ Oscar-nominated film Lion, which he composed in collaboration with Dustin O’Halloran, was nominated for multiple awards: Oscar for Best Original Score, Golden Globe for Best Original Score, Best Score at the Critics’ Choice Awards, and for Best Film Music at the BAFTAs. Bertelmann has provided music for several leading films and television series. He composed the score for Patrick Melrose, The Old Guard, Stowaway, the episode “Red Book” from Black Mirror, and Life After Life for BBC. He also composed film scores for Adrift, the 2018 romantic drama directed by Baltasa Kormákur, and, again in collaboration with O’Halloran, for Ammonite, which was short-listed for The Academy Awards in 2020. In 2022, he scored War Sailor, which was an official selection at the Toronto International Film Festival. Volker Bertelmann has just worked with Oscar-winning director Edward Berger again on the film Conclave, which was presented at the Toronto Film Festival in 2024. Bertelmann, who in his solo work goes by the name Hauschka, is a uniquely innovative pianist; he is renowned both for his trademark sound, which he achieves by preparing the piano with various small objects, and his ability to improvise entire performances. His output is prodigious: he tours extensively, and has produced over twenty albums and EPs, both solo and in collaboration with others. He has worked, among many others, with the MDR Leipzig Radio Symphony Orchestra, where he was the artist in residence, with Múm, the Icelandic experimental musical group, and with the Grammy-winning violinist Hilary Hahn. hauschka-net.de
