The Composer
Where Story Meets Sound
For Johannes Riedl, film music has never been about filling silence. It's about revealing what's already there – the tension beneath a glance, the emotion between two lines of dialogue, the pulse that carries a scene forward.
Johannes is a German film composer and mixing engineer with over a decade of experience in the visual media industry. During that time, he has contributed to more than 25 film and media productions, rangingfrom independent short films to internationally recognized projects.
His scoring work includes award-winning short films such as Sideline Story (Drama) and Wing Man (Thriller), as well as Ogun Ola: War is Coming, produced by Revelations Entertainment under the creative direction of Morgan Freeman and Lori McCreary.
His music was also featured in productions like Seven to Light, Waga, and The Only Way.
Further collaborations include Into the Woods for the Museum of Contemporary African Diasporan Arts (MoCADA) in New York, as well as the trailer score for the Telly Award-winning web series Searchers. Additional projects span narrative films, corporate productions, and commercial campaigns – including work for Lenovo's PGX mini workstation.
To date, his compositions have received 11 international nominations and awards, including recognition for Best Film Score and Best Composer. He is currently involved in multiple short film projects as well as two feature films.
Beyond Film Scoring
Alongside his work as a composer, Johannes is active in production music through JRM-Studios.
For the German premium music library RipCue Music, he composed and produced several albums – including Big Attitude Rock, Most Wanted, Current Middle East Affairs, and Rage Mode. These works range from orchestral textures with traditional instrumentation to high-intensity metal designed for action-driven sequences.
His production music has been placed in national and international television formats, including the Paralympics and shows such as Steel Buddies and Auf Streife.
