E.S. Posthumus was an enigmatic and influential music project founded by brothers Helmut and Franz Vonlichten in the late 1990s. They combined orchestral elements with electronic music to create a cinematic sound that resonates with a sense of ancient epic drama and modern sophistication. Their signature is a fusion of classical melodies and thematic elements with contemporary electronic rhythms, often inspired by the deep histories of varying cultures.
Notorious for composing music with a grandiose, film score-like quality, E.S. Posthumus earned widespread acclaim for tracks such as "Unstoppable" and "Posthumus Zone," the latter famously serving as the theme for the NFL on CBS. Their albums, including the debut "Unearthed," the globally flavored "Cartographer," and their final release, "Makara," showcase their talent for crafting audio landscapes that capture the imagination and inspire awe. The Vonlichten brothers' project came to an abrupt end with the untimely passing of Franz in 2010, after which Helmut decided to retire the name E.S. Posthumus, leaving behind a powerful musical legacy that continues to energize sports broadcasts and captivate listeners around the globe.
