Martina Eisenreich and Michael Kadelbach (M&M)
Composer
Martina Eisenreich was 15 when she got accepted at the distinguished Munich University of Music and Performing Arts to study Classical Composition. Here, two worlds collided in her heart – growing up in Upper Bavaria´s Outback with an archaic folk music background, her origins always guided her to an unconditional urge for aracy and emotional truth in her music – even when she dedicated her studies to the works of avantgarde later. Triggered by her early symphonic score to Moonman, Martina´s orchestral works have become a popular repertoire in classical concerts, and she started to work with orchestras all over Europe. Meanwhile, she is listed among the most-performed female composers in concert halls, with a distinctive aesthetic approach to special acoustic sounds, continuously developing new instruments and creations, and also touring and regularly performing her own music as a violinist and composer, releasing several albums.
In 2018 Martina was the first woman to be awarded the German Film Music Award in the category Best Music in Film, for her symphonic score on the Tatort “Waldlust” by Axel Ranisch. For her music from Zeit der Wölfe (thriller) and Endlich Witwer (comedy), she received a double nomination for the German TV Awards 2020 – Best Music. Also in 2020, she is the first woman to win BEST MUSIC at the German TV Academy Awards, and among other decorations, she also received the Award of the German Record Critics, the Creole Award of Süddeutsche Zeitung, the Rolf-Hans Müller Award for Film Music, and the Upper Bavarian Culture Award 2022.
Michael Kadelbach was 15 when his mother despaired of not to get into her bathroom because he had turned it into a singing booth – including her tights stretched on hangers as a pop protection onto the only microphone he could afford with his paperboy money. When techno was born in Berlin and Frankfurt, he was DJing in these two cities and worked as a trainee in a commercial film music company, where he could give free rein to his passion as a music producer and technology nerd. Soldering patchbays and serving coffee by day, and entering the studio with his Atari ST by night, turning all the wiring upside down, making his own music, and composing his first film music for his brother, Philipp. He was also the one who ignited Michael’s love for film music and dramaturgy through his films as a director. Eventually, Michi studied composition at the conservatory and set up his own business in Berlin for commercial film music production, and also became a reknown composer for major TV stations, networks, theaters and live events.
Michael wrote the score to “Naked Among the Wolves” (Emmy Nomination, German TV Award Winner), the Netflix Series “Perfume” (German TV Award Nominaton), “Afghanistan: The Wounded Land” and the Netflix documentary “In Her Hands” (Emmy Winner 2023), and “Children of the Taliban” (Bafta Award Winner 2023) directed by Academy Award-nominated director Marcel Mettelsiefen, and “Weltmarktführer”, which both won Germany’s most prestigious critics’ prize, the “Grimme Award. He also wrote the official epic orchestral FIFA UEFA soccer cup anthem, as well as the official FIBA (Federal International Basketball Association) anthem.
“For One Trillion Dollars, director Florian Baxmeyer brought us both by his side to compose the entire score together, with the feeling that it would be a good fit. Without knowing what he would trigger… it was an enlightening and inspiring collaboration, which we had a lot of fun and has already led to more wonderful future projects as composer duo.
We did not work in the sense of cue division, rather than a truly shared concept. It turned out to be brilliant that we both come from completely different directions.” – M&M
