Mini bio

How it started.

Growing up in Germany, Ramin began playing at four and learned music by ear. Film scores caught his imagination, especially Elmer Bernstein’s music for The Magnificent Seven. He went to Berklee to study film scoring and guitar performance, graduating summa cum laude in 1998.

Finding his way into film.

A connection through a guitar shop led to an internship at Hans Zimmer’s Remote Control Productions. Working with Klaus Badelt, he moved from technical work into arranging. He calls his contribution to the blacksmith-shop fight in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl his big break; Prison Break later became his first major television job.

Themes fans carry with them.

Iron Man brought a Grammy nomination, while Game of Thrones made his music familiar to a much wider audience. His work spans film, television and games, including Pacific Rim, Westworld, House of the Dragon and the Gears games. In 2017 he took Game of Thrones music into arenas, conducting an orchestra and choir for fans.
