About

I’m Soheil Salimzadeh, a composer and sound designer working across film, games, and animation. With an orchestral composition background, I enjoy shaping music from idea to final production—composing, arranging, recording, mixing, and supporting sound design for visual media.

I’m based in Augsburg and focus on creating immersive soundtracks, from orchestration and violin performance to modern production workflows used in SFx and audio post. I’ve contributed to multiple screen and interactive projects (including film scoring and game/animation audio work), and I’m also active in orchestral composition work and educational collaborations with international mentors and institutions.

Step into a world where silence speaks, and every note carries a memory…

“DREAM” is bringing to life the inner world of a boy lost in dreams, grief, and the hope of connection. This piece is not just a music video—it’s a journey through solitude, memory, and fragile light.

“Story of Dhohhak” is a dramatic cantata for orchestra and choir, inspired by the legendary Persian epic Shahnameh by Ferdowsi. This powerful composition brings to life the ancient myth of Dhohhak — a dark tale of greed, deception, and downfall — through a rich musical and visual narrative.

What makes this project unique is its combination of classical orchestration with the poetic German translation by Friedrich Rückert, offering a rare cultural fusion of East and West.

This video is a trailer cut, introducing the concept of the full piece with cinematic visuals and a three-minute audio excerpt.

In 2017, a composition competition was held for the opening music of the Cultural Festival in Foshan, China, an event that brought together artists from around the world.
That year, my piece “Dance of the Dragons” was awarded third place among the selected works.🐉

The composition is inspired by ancient Chinese musical motifs, blending traditional instruments such as the erhu, guzheng, and taiko drum with a full symphonic orchestra. Through this fusion, I aimed to portray the dance and soaring movement of dragons, a symbol deeply rooted in Chinese culture and mythology.🐲

In this post, you can listen to a short excerpt from the piece.🎧
