hans platzgumer's
radio work, various film and theatre scores and soundtracks
tend to support the action, the images and moods by versatile means. In the 3 dozens of scores he produced thus far, he combined a large array of analogue and digital instruments. He uses whatever the script calls for, elaborate electronica, driving guitars, fragile mandoline or piano melodies, archaic drums or minimal soundscapes, always assembled in his very unique musical style.
