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!
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.
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.
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!
The hosting team was fantastic, the atmosphere relaxed, the music selection spot-on – we thoroughly enjoyed every minute!
The podcast SOUNDS LIKE PETER THOMAS offers a fresh take on Peter Thomas’s distinctive music. You’ll get the lowdown on the latest PTSO releases, new projects, and insights into the artist’s life. Philip Thomas (son) and Thomas Müller (PTSO connoisseur since the beginning) are excited to share this journey through the life and work of the iconic composer with you.
The new Real Crime documentary about women’s acid barrel murders and the investigators who worked on the cases has just been released. It’s called “The Invisibles” and features music by Peter Thomas during the investigation.
It’s the story of acid barrel murderer Lutz Reinstrom and the investigation by detective inspector Marianne Atzeroth-Freier, who proved the perpetrator committed two murders. Click here for the trailer with my dad^s music.
I had a great meeting with the fantastic Erika Pluhar as part of the Peter Thomas retrospective at the Metropolis cinema (The Night of Lisbon). Here’s the full interview about the amazing work of this incredible woman. I feel so lucky to have met her.
A wonderful homage to Vater’s RAUMPATROUILLE theme. SCORP6066 has breathed new life into this song and combined it with “Lost in Space” recordings. Thibaud Thomas accompanies his grandfather’s music in the intro and outro. The love for the main theme Orion but also for musical perfection can be heard in every bar. PLEASE, PLAY OUT LOUD – it is great cinema. Many thanks dear Horst, also from the Peter Thomas Sound Orchestra for this great homage!!!!
At the beginning of August, I had the pleasure of welcoming the Readktion42 team to Berlin! In the interview I was able to give exciting insights into my work around the musical legacy of my father, film composer Peter Thomas. For all fans of P.T.S.O. there are also special highlights: I spoke with Matthias J. Lange from redaktion42 and Markus Elfert from filmreport about unreleased outtakes for Raumpatrouille Orion, Edgar Wallace films and much more.
We’ll keep you up to date on exciting new projects and upcoming events from Peter Thomas Music.
