Peer Raben was a German composer best known for his evocative film scores, especially through his long-standing collaboration with renowned director Rainer Werner Fassbinder. His music played a vital role in shaping the emotional landscape of many of Fassbinder's films, including Berlin Alexanderplatz, Querelle, and The Marriage of Maria Braun. Known for his ability to blend classical motifs with contemporary sounds, Raben’s compositions often carried a melancholic, noir-like tone that perfectly complemented the intense, dramatic worlds he helped bring to life.
Beyond his work with Fassbinder, Raben built a reputation as one of the most distinctive voices in European film music from the 1970s onward. His scores remain influential, with recent compilations like The Great Composer Of Film Music - Vol. 1 and features on soundtracks such as Jeder tötet was er liebt (from Peter Von Kant) introducing his rich body of work to new audiences.
