Completion of CAS in Music Production


I’m thrilled to share the successful completion of my CAS in Music Production. This intensive and inspiring program has been a meaningful milestone on my new musical path. It not only expanded my technical and creative skills but also allowed me to rediscover and carry forward my father’s music from a fresh perspective.


I’m excited for what lies ahead – and I look forward to new creative projects and musical adventures!

The Endless Night – U.S. Premiere

Film Highlight in New York: U.S. Premiere of The Endless Night

At the end of last year, the award-winning film The Endless Night (Die endlose Nacht, 1963) celebrated its U.S. premiere at New York’s renowned Metrograph cinema – a landmark moment for this German classic, featuring the legendary film score by Peter Thomas.


A milestone in German cinema history, the film was honored with four German Film Awards in Gold, including Best Original Score for Peter Thomas. Thanks to the passion and dedication of Walter Potganski (MovieMax), this cinematic gem was presented to an international audience for the first time in an English-language version – a true milestone for the film.


The late, great Hannelore Elsner once said of the film:



“I want people to see this film… it’s a gift.”


With its haunting atmosphere, outstanding performances, and iconic music, The Endless Night remains a timeless classic – continuing to captivate new generations of film lovers around the world.

Endless Love, Powered by AI

Cordy – Peter’s Muse and Life Partner

Cordy was Peter’s muse. For nearly 60 years, they walked through life side by side, united by a wonderful partnership filled with love, trust, and deep affection.

Since my father was always forward-thinking and loved new technology, I’m sure he wouldn’t have minded that I used AI to gently animate some of their shared photos. I believe he would have liked the result – it brings their special bond to life once more, in a new and touching way.

Peter Thomas in Cologne – Four Days of Retro Vibes and Timeless Tunes

This event is also tied to our memory of Bernhard Marsch from Filmclub 813, who deeply impressed us over those four days with his warmth, his boundless passion for cinema, and his endless stream of ideas.

We are deeply saddened by his sudden passing. It was a wonderful and inspiring encounter – and we had so many plans… it’s simply hard to grasp.

As part of the Peter Thomas Special, we had the pleasure of giving a one-hour interview at 674FM in Cologne.

It was a fantastic afternoon filled with engaging conversations about Peter Thomas, his music, and his films – all accompanied by many of his legendary tracks. A huge thank-you to Karl Heinz Müller and his team for welcoming us so warmly and professionally. A special highlight: Roswitha’s little dance moment in the studio – with a casual swing of the hips, she really got the music rolling!
