About

Asher Goldschmidt is a multi-award-winning, classically trained composer of film music, whose diverse musical background spans classical, modern, electronic, and metal genres, with roots in metal and rock music giving his compositions a unique edge.

​He has scored numerous international films and series, including HBO Europe’s ‘The Informant’, the BBC series ‘In the Name of the Father’, and the epic historical drama ‘Rise of the Raven’, produced by Robert Lantos (‘Sunshine’, ‘Eastern Promises’). ‘Rise of the Raven’, one of the most ambitious and epic historical dramas ever made in Europe, became the most viewed content in Hungary in recent years, with over two million viewers weekly and distribution in numerous countries.
