“The challenge with scoring a war film that involves a lot of diegetic battle sounds is to create music that sounds powerful but also like a part of the scenery. In the film I tried to use a very minimal iconic theme. That way I could create variations to accompany the sound design and dialogue. As a musician you want to write something relevant, so you try to find methods to use sounds and melodic fragments to make a scene memorable,” says Bertelmann.

Released in theaters on September 30 and on the Netflix platform on October 28, Volker Bertelmann (aka Hauschka), scores the Netflix Film adaptation of All Quiet on the Western Front.
The film tells the gripping story of a young German soldier on the Western Front of World War I. Paul and his comrades experience first-hand how the initial euphoria of war turns into desperation and fear as they fight for their lives, and each other, in the trenches.
The film from director Edward Berger is based on the world-renowned bestseller of the same name by Erich Maria Remarque.
The film is highly anticipated and is receiving outstanding reviews. Volker's score is a beautiful accompaniment to the emotional and riveting film.
