FILM SCORING

Raphael is known for creating scores that not only powerfully support a film’s narrative, but give a film a distinctive musical language. His music works beautifully as underscore while effortlessly retaining narrative coherence when performed as concert music or when experienced on a soundtrack album.

ARRANGING

Raphael is also an accomplished pop music producer and arranger, having created arrangements for pop songs placed in films by UK singer-songwriters Katey Brooks and Emaé, and arrangements for Austrian singer-songwriter Nana Falkner.

TEACHING

Whether you're just starting out or simply want to take the next step in creating powerful and memorable music using interesting harmonies and well-crafted orchestration techniques. I'm teaching students in full-scale one on one sessions and share my knowledge of more than 10 years of experience as a composer.

Musikinstrumente

"Its thematic content is overwhelming and has to it a rich and beguiling air, that make the hairs on your arms stand up and send a shiver through your body."

Filmmusic critic JOHN MANSELL on the score for L'Hypermnésique, 2023

"Raphael Fimm’s music stays with you. It’s peppy where needed, melancholic where required and hopeful where there’s a shimmer of it."
