ABOUT
ABOUT ME
Hello, I am Ilja Coric and I live and work as a musician, film music composer and producer in Berlin.
Music has been my closest companion and teacher for the greatest part of my life. It led me from studying jazz guitar at the Rotterdam Conservatory and Berklee College of Music in Boston to Berlin, which I now call home.
Since winning the VW Score Competition at the Berlinale Talent Campus in 2007, my main focus has been composing and producing music and I had the pleasure of working across a wide range of formats, including film, art, radio features, podcasts, live performance, and, more recently, immersive experiences and exhibitions.
What I love most about my line of work is reflected in all these projects: translating a huge variety of emotions into a broad mix of different styles of music and serve a story. Pair that with an exchange with other creative minds and you have a passion that hasn’t stopped yet.
MY WORK
My music can be heard on numerous documentaries for Arte ( f.e. Faszination Wolkenkratzer, Russlands Pferde ), I co-wrote the music for Kannawoniwasein ( with Stefan Maria Schneider ) that has won numerous Awards and made a lot of children happy in the cinemas around Europe and wrote additional music for Mittagsstunde by Lars Jessen. The TV series Danni Lowinski and Überall, nur nicht hier ( ZDF Kleines Fernsehspiel ) were nominated for the German Television Award, including nominations for Best music at the Soundtrack Cologne.
My entry into immersive experiences includes my collaboration in projects such as Vikings – Entdecker und Eroberer in Hamburg and Utopian Garden in Seattle (both produced by Florafaunavisions and composer Julian Ganzer). One of my personal highlights was Things to Come, a filmic installation for Bauhaus 100 at the Kunstmuseum Moritzburg in Halle.
Radio feature and podcasts I composed music for include the true crime success Lubi-ein Polizist stürzt ab ( Studio Bummens ), Wer hat Burak erschossen and Geheimnisvolle Orte amongst others.
I had the pleasure to work with numerous filmmakers worldwide, amongst them Gina Abatemarco ( USA ), John Hsu ( Taiwan ), Eduardo Wannmacher ( Brasil, with the Trio Loving Room ) and British-Australian filmmaker Bryn Chainey who’s short films won many awards and were shown worldwide on more than 80 film festivals.
My passion for electronic music led to productions on labels such as get physical and remixes for artists like Rosenstolz or Booka Shade. For many years I was the live-guitarist of the Band Muckemacher.
