Frederic Bernard (born on November 2nd 1988) is a German music composer, orchestrator and pianist.

Early Life

Frederic Bernard began to play the piano by the age of eight. Yet in this early stage he started to develop a profound interest in film and videogame scores, which also inspired him to write on first compositions for the piano.

In his youth he started to develop a distinct fascination for reading and analyzing music a few years later on. To get more knowledge about the art of orchestration, he transcribed douzens of full-orchestral music scores by ear.

Later he enrolled for a Bachelor‘s degree in classical music at the University of Music Freiburg, where he studied under Prof. Eckehard Kiem (a former student of the avant-garde composer Brian Ferneyhough) and many other luminaries.

Career

Today he is working as a music composer, orchestrator and pianist in full-time. Credits and references include major brands, television channels and advertisement agencies across the globe, among others: Sony, Doritos, Intel, Canon, Sixt, AXA, Caritas/Diakonie, NBC Sports, National Geographic, MLB, NESN, KI.KA/RBB/ARTE (German TV), Hearst Corp., or Time Inc.

Additionally, he signed-up with several Los Angeles-based trailer music agencies. Worth pointing out here is the prestigious label Music Junkies, which evolved as the very first trailer music agency on the market. The trailer music productions were performed and recorded with the “Budapest Scoring Orchestra” in Hungary and mixed by mixing/mastering luminaries John Rodd and Greg Townley.
