Dear Friends of Capricorn Music,
As 2024 draws to a close, we reflect on a year filled with exciting projects, inspiring encounters, and creative challenges. In this post, we take a look back at the highlights and special moments that made this year so memorable for Capricorn Music.
One of the standout projects this year was composing the music for Österreich - Die ganze Geschichte [Austria - The Complete History], the ORF’s largest ever historical documentary series. The series, which explores Austria’s history across 40 episodes, premiered its first season earlier this year. The second season will air on ORF 3 starting December 27, and the soundtrack will be released on December 20.
Another prestigious project was creating the sound for the new ORF ON platform. I had the privilege of developing the Sound ID and composing the Image Track, as well as crafting the music for the extensive promotional campaign. This was a wonderful opportunity to define a distinctive sound for a groundbreaking platform.
In the summer, we released our album Komondor Acoustic Lounge, a collection recorded entirely with real instruments and musicians – without the use of AI or sample libraries. The album debuted at a vibrant release party at and around our studio. It’s now available on all major platforms and invites listeners to immerse themselves in an authentic lounge sound.
We were also active in the pop music scene: For Julie Marie’s debut single “Dopamin”, we handled both composition and production. Released in the summer, it marked the start of her musical journey. We are already working on her next release, scheduled for spring 2025.
Our Year 2024 – Capricorn Music Highlights in Video
On our YouTube channel, we published a variety of new videos this year – from studio productions and live recordings to the launch of a new playlist for film music. We warmly invite you to take a look behind the scenes of Capricorn Music and learn more about our work.
Alongside these larger projects, we completed numerous individual audio productions: radio spots for Schwabenhaus, telephone on-hold messages, and music concepts for clients such as PORR, Wiener Radiologie, and the Schwechat Medical Center, as well as announcements and advertisements for the public viewing of the UEFA European Football Championship in Steyr.
In the area of mixing and mastering, we were equally versatile. At Christian Kolonovits’s studio, I had the privilege of mixing and mastering the album „Rainhard Fendrich Symphonisch in Schönbrunn“. I was also involved in recordings for the 100 Years of Radio celebration. Additionally, we worked on projects for artists such as Leuchtkraft, the Keller Steff Band, LWI, and many more.
A special highlight this year was welcoming Alex Tribus to our team. As Junior Producer and Social Media Manager, Alex brings fresh ideas, supports us with creative video editing, and ensures a professional presence on our channels. Welcome to Capricorn Music, Alex!
We’ve captured some special moments from this year in the following gallery:
At this point, I would like to personally thank all clients, partners, and friends of Capricorn Music who supported us throughout the year. It has been a pleasure working with you, and we are already looking forward to exciting new projects and challenges in the coming year.
Merry Christmas, a wonderful time with your loved ones, and a Happy New Year!
Warm regards,
Clemens Nowak & the Capricorn Music Team
