When Schiwago Film approached us to compose the music for an episode of the Krimiseries "Ostfriesenwut," it was a pivotal moment. At that time, we were already deeply engrossed in the creative whirlwind of two other ongoing projects, and the clock was ticking. However, our collective conviction as a team made us realize that we could rise to the challenge and bring our musical vision to life.

Our first meeting with Director Christine Repond marked the beginning of a unique creative journey. Christine made it abundantly clear that she desired an unconventional approach to the music for the episode. Her emphasis lay on restraint – she wanted minimal music beneath the picture, and, above all, music that wouldn't over-explain or intrude upon the narrative.

In response to this unique directive, we decided to adopt a different creative process for this project. Rather than composing the music in advance, we chose to wait until the picture had been fully cut. The idea was to create a cohesive musical project for the entire film, employing a limited selection of instruments to craft our sonic palette. This approach would allow us to maintain a minimalist, unobtrusive score that delicately supported the narrative without overshadowing it.
