Dominik Rausch -Composer 

Dominik Rausch was born and raised in Stuttgart, Germany.  Dominik has been playing piano and performing at concert venues since the tender age of 6.  He composed his first original piece of music at the age of 13.  Dominik has won several awards for his compositions and performances throughout the years.  While in high school, Dominik was selected by committee to take part in several advanced intensive workshops.

These workshops brought together the greatest musical talent of the 20^th and 21^st Century including Helmut Lachenmann, allowing Dominik the opportunity to exchange ideas with and play his pieces for these great musicians.  One workshop in particular had a huge impact on Dominik’s future, changing it forever.  It was a workshop with film composer Christian Halten, a colleague of the famed composer Hans Zimmer (Pirates of the Careabean, The Dark Knight, Da Vinci Code). 

After meeting with Mr. Halten, Dominik made the decision to move to Los Angeles and concentrate on film composition and pursue a career in the film industry.  Since moving to Los Angeles in 2007, Dominik has had the opportunity to compose for several feature and short films.  Including “Junction”, an award winning feature film that has played several domestic and international film festivals.  Dominik worked with Andrew and Jenna on “April Showers” and can not wait to compose for “Dancing Carl”.  He gets such joy from watching a movie brought to a whole new level with music.
