Browse piano sheets by Harold Faltermeyer on Zen Virtual Piano. Harold Faltermeyer was born in October 1952 in Munich, Germany, and was raised in a countryside neighborhood just outside the city; the family played music as part of daily life. At 11, a Nuremberg music professor discovered that Faltermeyer had absolute pitch. While still studying he found work at a recording studio, and within three years he was engineering major classical sessions for Deutsche Grammophon. A family that played music as part of daily life can be read as the ground in which an early-noticed ear took root. Harold spent nearly two years at Giorgio’s famous Musicland Studio in Munich before getting the chance in 1979 to write songs for Donna Summer’s new album Bad Girls. While working with Moroder in Los Angeles on American Gigolo, Harold met the movie producers Jerry Bruckheimer and the late Don Simpson, and in 1983 they offered him the opportunity to compose the music for a film. An offer to compose the music for a whole film, set beside songs for Donna Summer’s album, suggests a different scale of commission. In 1989, with his first child born, Harold relocated from Los Angeles to Germany to raise a family, and he kept working at his Munich-based Red Deer Studios. In 2006 Harold wrote the score for the chart-topping video game Two Worlds, and in 2007 and 2008 he turned his attention back to developing new artists for the European market. Engineering classical sessions as a young man and later scoring a chart-topping game suggest a career that kept moving between recording and writing.
