Rachel Nusbaumer

Rachel Nusbaumer is a Swiss musician, passionned about music since her childhood. She began to study music at the age of 5, studying the flute and the oboe. Meanwhile, she became interested to compose music on a computer, which allows her to play her own composition, instead of having a real orchestra. Gradually, thanks to this new technology, she turned more into the genre of electronic music. This mix of classical and electronic music defines her own musical style. The fundament for her stays classical however, she loves to mix it with more electronic soundings.The mixture of genres she love is, developing classic harmony with more contemporary sounds. Her influences are either Bach and Corelli, Jean-Michel Jarre, Ennio Morricone or Hans Zimmer. Her neoclassical music has quickly oriented her into film music and sound design. She composes soundtracks for short films (Love.Life.Lie, Nouvelle trajectoire, Fissure…). In 2015, “L’Inconnue du Parc”, a short film directed by Sébastien Cornioley, for which she composed the music, is selected at the 68th Cannes Film Festival and this allows her to climb the mythical red carpet. Now she focuses more on epic and orchestral music, influenced by great composers as Thomas Bergersen, Ivan Torrent, James Paget or Jo Blankenburg.
