Soundtrack Release “Das fliegende Klassenzimmer”
Am 12. Oktober 2023 startet die Neuverfilmung von „Das fliegende Klassenzimmer“ in den Kinos.
Ich durfte die Musik zu diesem tollen Kinderfilm schreiben und freue mich, den Soundtrack ab heute auch mit euch teilen zu dürfen.
Die Musik ist ein akustischer Orchesterscore, mit besonderen Farben wie Steirische Harmonika (eine Akkordeonart), Hackbrett & Kuhglocken.
Es ist wahrscheinlich mein hellster und fröhlichster Score. Mir war besonders wichtig, dass man die Freundschaft in jeder Note hören kann.
Ich würde mich freuen, wenn Sie den Film im Kino anschauen - er ist ab 0 Jahren freigegeben.
Den Soundtrack gibt es ab jetzt auf allen Plattformen zu hören: Das fliegende Klassenzimmer (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
