Renowned German film composer Christoph Zirngibl joins us today to talk about his recent projects AppleTV+ “Where’s Wanda” and the animated adventure film “The Hero of Centopia.” We chat about the difference between a Palette Composer vs an Artist Composer, his own composing process, and what makes a good melody. Christoph Zirngibl is a renowned German film composer based in Munich, Germany. Among the over 120 movies Christoph has composed the music for by now, you will find some of the most-watched German prime-time TV movies and successful national feature films, as well as a diverse range of indie films, short movies, TV series and documentaries. His music has been awarded the Hollywood Music in Media Award, the Jerry Goldsmith Award and the “German Emmy” ({reis der Deutschen Fernsehakademie) and has been nominated multiple times, e.g. for the German Filmmusic Award, the European Filmmusic Award (Camille Award) and the Music & Sound Awards.
