Joscha Baltes · Berlin

Music and sound for stage, screen and records.

I'm a composer, sound designer and mix engineer. For more than ten years I've written music for theatre and film, made sound for brands like Nike, Prada and Siemens, and mixed records for artists like Lewis Capaldi and Michael Kiwanuka.

About

I write music and design sound for theatre, film and advertising, and I record, mix and master records. Both sides feed each other: the composer knows what a mix needs, the engineer knows what a score can carry.

I studied sound design and audio engineering at hdpK Berlin (2013–2016), and since 2026 I teach sound design and mixing at SRH University. Right now I'm also building my own VST plugin and a drum sample shop.
