The journey from a Berlin dissident punk band to Golden Globe-nominated film score composer in Hollywood might seem incredible, but it’s exactly the path Reinhold Heil’s career traveled. Having learned to play church organ and piano from a young age, Heil received his actual musical education in his father’s record store, where he got into rock, jazz, soul and electronic music. Like many free spirits of the ’70s, Heil moved to the then-isolated West Berlin to study music at Hochschule der Künste, where he became the keyboard player in the band of Nina Hagen, East Germany’s “Godmother of Punk.” After Hagen left the band, the group became known as Spliff, an influential player on the Neue Deutsche Welle scene. Heil would go on to produce Nena’s famous hit “99 Luftballons,” which became one of the most successful non-English songs in US history, and together with producer and long-term collaborator Johnny Klimek, Heil composed the score for the film Run Lola Run. An international cult classic, Run Lola Run was the first movie to have an original techno score that was not comprised of pre-existing tracks. It also sparked a decade-long collaboration with Tom Tykwer on almost all his subsequent film projects, including his latest series Babylon Berlin, the biggest budget German TV series ever produced. Further film scores by Heil include One Hour Photo, Land of the Dead, Perfume: The Story of a Murderer, The International and Cloud Atlas, which was nominated for a Golden Globe in 2013.
