FILM COMPOSER  JAKOB BALOGH

Jakob Balogh is a German neo-classical and film music composer who creates music for Film, TV, Commercials, Games & Media.

Born in Munich, he studied Audio Engineering to deepen his understanding of recording and producing music.

His emotionally charged atmospheric soundscapes are a mixture of organic and synthetic elements that emanates the feeling of constant movement. Balogh’s style varies between peaceful orchestral composition, solo piano and textural-rhythmic synthesizers.

 

COMMERCIALS

He has created music for various short films and brands such as Mercedes Benz, Amazon Prime, Assassin’s Creed Origins, Tag Heuer, Kiska, SWM, RSPCA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) and many more.

In 2018, he received the Global Film Festival Award in Los Angeles with his music for Marko Roth’s short film “The Crack“.

The same year Jakob composed the music for Marko’s short “Kherou“, which portrayed a young wrestler in Dakar and was shot entirely on 16mm.

The soundtrack for Arne Totz’s shortfilm “Dear Enemy” was written and produced by Jakob in 2019. It is an abstract visual journey based on the true story of Bashir Ramathan and became Vimeo Staff Pick. It was shot by DoP Paul Meyers.

His soundtrack for “Cosmic Balance“, a short film about the life of stunt coordinator and precision driver Uwe Mansshardt, was released in 2020.
