Film
Kartenhaus (2024)
For Jurij Neumann’s feature film Kartenhaus, Janek created a
refined and atmospheric score that subtly underscores the film’s emotional complexity. Combining piano, electronic elements, and ambient textures, his music enhances the psychological tension and fragility at the core of the story. Sprachta’s restrained yet expressive approach shapes a sonic landscape that deepens the film’s narrative and lingers beyond the screen.
Asche, Holz und Sterne – Documentary
For the documentary Asche, Holz und Sterne, directed by Tom Ehrhardt, Janek created an evocative and contemplative score that supports the film’s poetic reflection on memory, transience, and renewal. Blending delicate piano motifs with subtle electronic and organic textures, Sprachta’s music enhances Ehrhardt’s visual storytelling with emotional depth and restraint. The result is a finely balanced soundscape that amplifies the film’s meditative atmosphere and enduring resonance.
