“Arde’s compositions are [...] set like a jewel within an intricately designed and satisfyingly complex soundscape, such as her work on Jörg Adolph’s “The Hidden Life of Trees”. ”

Freya Arde is an award-winning composer, guitarist and music producer and regarded as “one of Germany’s top talents in film music” (MDM magazine Trailer).
Her latest works include The Corridors of Power, a documentary by Acadamy Award nominee Dror Moreh as well as Constantin Film’s documentary about Peter Wohlleben’s best selling book, The Hidden Life of Trees.
Right after completing her Master's degree in film scoring at University for Film and Television Berlin Babelsberg in 2016, she won the German Film Music Award as Best Newcomer for her debut film score to Nelly's Adventure.
Previously, she studied composition and guitar at the Conservatory of Music in Dresden and at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse in Paris.
Her unique soundscapes combine acoustic instrumentation with audio processing and electronics. She has worked with orchestras like the German Film Orchestra Babelsberg and the Budapest Art Orchestra.
In 2020 she released her debut EP as a solo artist, Spirit Awake.
Her new single Moon Window is part of Deutsche Grammophon's Project 12.
“These achingly beautiful drones and tonal shifts are anchored by the occasional clean tone that refracts into a thousand versions of itself like the ripple of a stone thrown into water.”
