The film music to the ZDF two-part travel documentary

The film music to the current ZDF two-part documentary “Tibet – Journey across a forbidden country” comes from the quill of the two composers Tobias Boesel and Siegfried Rolletter. The film was created according to the original diaries of the two Austrians Heinrich Harrer and Peter Aufschnaiter. The notes have remained undiscovered in the basement of the Swiss museum of ethnology in Zurich for the past decades. Impressions, which the ZDF was the first to ban on film and which draw an impressive image of a Tibet of yesterday and today. The adventurous documentary is broadcast on Tuesday night at prime time: 8.15 pm from the 29.01.2008. read more here…

“On Amber’s Tracks“

The film music factory Boesel & Rolletter/ TS Music Production accompany musically the stories of the people along the Amber Route from Ribnitz-Damgarten to the legendary Amber Room in St. Petersburg. The ZDF broadcasts “Tears of the Gods” on June 26th, 2007 at 8.15 pm prime-time.

The main theme sounds like an anthem, positively connoted as a travelling motive on the search for the fascinating amber. The individual instruments, such as piano and guitar accompany the close shots peacefully and contemplatively. Full scale orchestra music is added to the terrific bird-perspective shots along the Baltic coast where the “Tears of the Gods” are born. read more here…

A ZDF travel report by Dirk Sager presents a successful symbiosis between images and music

By Tilmann P. Gangloff

“Berlin-Saigon” ZDF, 8.15 pm

Ever since TV has committed itself to a frenzied standstill, moments of peacefulness are a relict of the past. Similar to the radio, the horror vacui rages here, the fear of acoustic nothingness. Thus, someone has to talk continually; and if not, at least there has to be music. Because of this, reports and documentaries have been added with a perpetual wall of music for some time now. Often the music is rather monotonous, which rather ruin than accompany the images; or emotional moments are being emphasized so intrusively that afterwards one feels sore from feeling. read more here…

TS-Music Production add music to Dir Sager’s Travel Documentary from Berlin to Saigon

By Peter Mueller

Kiedrich: When Dirk Sager travels, he usually goes east. And preferably to Russia where the TV veteran must already feel at home. Like no one else, the former head of the ZDF studio in Russia, has scoured the mammoth country, and he has always drawn a picture that surpasses political summit conferences, corruption affairs and environmental disasters. Sager looks into people’s existential orientations and presents us with the Russian soul. For that, he sometimes takes the jeep or helicopter or the sea route from the Polar Sea to the most eastern shores of Siberia. read more here…

Novelties from the music factory BoeselRolletter

The film music composers Tobias Boesel and Siegfried Rolletter accompany the journalist Dirk Sager on his impressive adventure journey from Berlin through the tropes to Saigon. With the train he travels 16,000 km across seven en-countries and two continents. The ZDF broadcasts the four-part documentary on Tuesdays from March 27th, 2007 at 8.15 p.m.

Boesel and Rolletter have intensively cooperated with Dirk Sager and composed a film music for the editorial office “events of the day”, which accompanies the train across the continents. Exciting and sensitive with the topic of the film. The musical main theme has been varied into several variations. The pulse of the train can easily be felt when the pushy 12/8th beat of viola, celli and double bass is heard. Sometimes the grand orchestra is heard, sometimes we hear a small chamber orchestra. read more here…

For this CD, a new concept was created. Travel melodies around the world, evoking curiosity about new en-countries and adventures.

The two composers Tobias Boesel and Siegfried Rolletter add music to almost all travel reports of the ZDF – also Claus Klebers current two part-documentary on India.
Kiedrich/Rheingau. What does India sound like? On probably thinks of the string instrument called Sitar and its long tones. But Claus Kleber of the “heute journal” did not want traditional meditative music for his two-part report on the subcontinent (Wednesday, 10.45 and Thursday 10.15 on ZDF): Instead, the film should sound of modernity and departure just like he experienced the country and its people.

Perfect for the two music engineers Tobias Boesel (41) and Siegfried Rolletter (44). They have already accompanied Wolf von Lojewski musicwise, they gave music to “the Journey of the Storks” (at the end of April on ZDF), they added music to a documentary on the Kennedys, the Fall of the Berlin Wall and Queen Elizabeth II, ever since 1999 they regularly work for Bodo Witzke and Ulli Rothaus whose four-parts “Stories from the Baltic Sea” have been broadcast during the last weekends on ZDF.
