In 2016, Blitz//Berlin won the Clio Award for “Best Use of Music” for their work on the trailer for The Girl On The Train. Most recently, the band won the 2019 Golden Trailer Award for “Best Thriller” for their work on the Birdbox trailer. In addition to movie trailers, Blitz//Berlin have also composed music for several award-winning feature length films, including The Void and Still/Born. They also composed the music for the Blade Runner 2049 prequel “Nexus Dawn”, starring Jared Leto. Most recently, Blitz//Berlin wrote the score for the film Oracle, directed by Aaron Poole, which premiered at TIFF 2019. Blitz//Berlin also led a seminar at TIFF 2019, as part of OLG’s Dream Deck series, titled “The Art of Collaboration: Creating Original Music in the World of Films and Trailers.”
Movements III is the first instrumental album they’ve recorded since packing their lives into a van and moving across the continent to California. Listen to the new single “Nowhere” below.
“Our latest single, “Nowhere,” is a calm centre of the album; a palate-cleanser amongst chaos. Let it wash over you like a warm wave. A friend told me recently that it should be part of a mediation app… and I’ve chosen to take that as a compliment.”
