Hello

Film Composer - Music for Film, TV, Commercials & Games

Hey! I am

Peter Albrecht

I compose music that becomes part of the story – from the orchestral drama of feature films to the intimate pulse of TV series and the bold sound of international brands.

RITUS – Premiering at Filmfest München

Excited to share that Ritus, the new six-part mystery thriller series for ARD, is set to have its world premiere at Filmfest München on June 28 — and I had the pleasure of composing the score. Produced by MadeFor Film for ARD Degeto and Hessischer Rundfunk, the series stars Moritz Bleibtreu, Maximilian Mundt, Seyneb Saleh, and Anna Shirin Habedank in a dark, atmospheric story about identity, ancient secrets, and the power of the past. Can't wait for you to hear it.

SCHLECHTE MENSCHEN at the ISFMF 2026

For the third year in a row, I'm thrilled to share that I've received a nomination at the International Sound and Film Music Festival – this time for my score to the German series SCHLECHTE MENSCHEN, in the category Best Original Score, Series or Limited Series. When I first saw the nominee list, I had to take a moment. Sharing a category with composers like Cristobal Tapia de Veer, whose work on The White Lotus has been nothing short of extraordinary, or Antonio Sanchez, whose score for The Studio has been turning heads across the industry – that's not something I take for granted. These are artists I deeply admire, and being mentioned alongside them is both humbling and genuinely exciting. SCHLECHTE MENSCHEN has been one of those projects that stays with you. The tone, the characters, the world the directors built – it gave me so much creative space…

Nominated for Best Original Score at die Seriale 2026

The series BAD PEOPLE, for which I composed the original score, has been nominated for Best Original Score at die Seriale — the International Series Festival Giessen. The festival, one of Germany’s longest-running dedicated to short-form digital series, will take place in June 2026. Being nominated alongside composers from across the international festival circuit is a meaningful recognition, and I’m grateful it found its audience beyond the production itself. Working on BAD PEOPLE was a precise and enjoyable creative challenge — the series has a very specific tone, and finding music that supports that without overplaying it was the goal from the start. I’m looking forward to the festival and to seeing the series celebrated in this context.

It genuinely thrills me to see projects I’ve scored pick up industry awards – I’m super proud and deeply grateful that my cinematic soundtracks help bring these stories to life.
