Robin
Schlochtermeier is an award-nominated composer for film and TV
based in Bristol, UK.
His scores include the award-winning documentary "Revealed: The Virgin Queen's Fatal Affair" (Channel Five, UK) and a Berlin film festival award-nominated Horror Short, "Mother's Little Helper" by Michael Lavelle, as well as numerous fiction and documentary shorts and a further FIVE UK TV documentary. Several of his short film scores have been nominated for best score or best sound at festival awards.
He also won a prestigious Diesel-U-Music award for a song written and performed with his band The Very in 2006.
Early in 2011, Robin graduated to an MA with distinction in Composition for Film and Television from the University of Bristol. His studies also include counterpoint and harmony with award-winning games composer Leon Willett, conducting with William Goodchild and a Film Scoring programme at Berklee School of Music.
Robin
enjoys ongoing collaborative relationships with a handful of very
talented young filmmakers including Will
McGregor,
director of the acclaimed and multiple-award winning "Who's Afraid of
the Watersprite?" and in-house director at The Mill production house in
London, and fellow Bristol film student George
Purves.
As an assistant to wildlife and documentary composer David Poore, he has worked on prestigious blue chip BBC production "The Truth About Lions" and the Playhouse Disney-commissioned "Mr. Moon" kids series.
Robin has also been sought out as a musical consultant for a music theory feature on the BBC One Show and Friend Request Pending, a short film by Chris Foggin starring Dame Judi Dench.
Originally a violinist and later a rock guitarist and singer, Robin is equally comfortable in pop styles as in classic symphonic scoring. His ear for orchestration has even led him to orchestral production work on seven tracks of an upcoming fusion album for Bristol drum and bass legend Roni Size.
When not working in his beloved studio, Robin can often be found in open green spaces gaining inspiration from trees, the earth and all the beautiful creatures on it.
