Scoring Berlin is a contemporary musical collective known for their evocative soundscapes and standout arrangements that beautifully blur the lines between classical and modern instrumentation. Their unique approach to music aligns them with the neoclassical movement, where traditional orchestral elements meet the innovation of electronic sound. This diversely talented ensemble has demonstrated a particular adeptness in taking classical pieces and reinterpreting them, as seen in their rendition of Holst's "In The Bleak Midwinter," which has been reimagined through Amy Crankshaw’s arrangement for solo cello and strings.

Their discography conveys a sense of narrative and emotional richness, with compositions like "Strangely, I Dreamt" and "A Place We Once Walked" that conjure vivid imagery akin to cinematic scores. Scoring Berlin often collaborates with other artists, as evidenced by their arrangements of "Peel, Cooper: Reverie" and "Meredi: White Flowers Take Their Bath," which are infused with layers of electronic textures that complement the acoustic instruments. With recent releases such as "Chordal Drift" and "The Turning Year," Scoring Berlin continues to build an impressive repertoire that appeals to both classical music enthusiasts and fans of ambient, experimental soundscapes. Their ability to craft music that feels both timeless and contemporary has positioned them as a notable and innovative force within the realm of modern classical music.
