Throughout his career Ros has crossed paths with many film and music industry professionals. He has had the opportunity of collaborating with filmmakers, musicians and artists as a composer, music producer, conductor, orchestrator, songwriter and musician. A selection of these professionals have been kind enough to provide a short testimonial to attest to Ros' work and character.
Writer & Director (HBO Folklore, HBO Foodlore)
Ros and I worked together on the HBO Original Series Folklore (S2, Grandma's Kiss). Ros didn't just write arrangements but with his beautifully composed pieces created the soul of the show. Ros treats music like a universal language and his strong musicality and knowledge brought the narrative to the next level.
Director, Producer (Dragonbee Animation Studios)
I have had the pleasure of working with Ros on my latest film. Our schedule was very tight, while my standards as a director were especially high for that particular film. Ros showed an amazing level of professionalism as both composer and producer, delivering fantastic results on time. So I'm definitely looking forward to collaborating with Ros in the future!
Writer & Director (BBC Doctor Who)
Ros composed and produced music for my short film “The Arrival”. It was an absolute pleasure to work with him. From the beginning, I felt Ros grasped the emotional arc of the story very quickly and really understood what I wanted the music to convey. He was very responsive to notes and feedback, which allowed for great communication. Ros composed a beautiful piece of music that really elevated the emotions within the scene. I highly recommend working with him.
Writer & Documentary Director (ARTE, France 5)
I have had the pleasure of knowing Ros since 2014. We worked together on my last TV documentary and it was such a pleasure! As a documentary film maker for television, it is rare to ask a composer to create original music as production times are too short. Although the editing was really tight, I never felt it would be a problem for Ros. Extremely reliable and hard-working, he was always able to understand our expectations with great kindness and with a positive attitude. As a result, Ros’ music made the documentary stronger. I look forward to collaborating with him again in the future.
Series Producer (ZDF)
Over the past years, Ros has done the orchestrations for our 'Rosamunde Pilcher' television features, which to date are among the most popular films in German television history. Ros is a very creative, reliable and dedicated musician, who approached each of our films in a highly professional manner, always met our deadlines and consistently delivered excellent work. It's a pleasure working with Ros and we would strongly recommend him as a valuable member of any film or TV production team.
Film Director & Screenwriter
I have worked with Ros on several occasions and he is always polite, professional and dedicated to creating the very best compositions to bring a film to life. Committed to helping you achieve your vision, Ros is generous with his time and skill, producing beautiful scores that rival the best in the industry.
Scoring Mixer (Outlander, The Walking Dead)
Talented composer with a great ear. Fantastic communication!
Award-Winning Director
This was my first collaboration with a film composer. Together with Ros, we were able to find the right mood and position accents in all the right places. As a result, the music succinctly completed the picture and has become an indispensable part of the film. Ros is mindful of the director’s thoughts and understands the story, which is very important.
Film Director, Writer
Music is such a key part of the story-telling process - it can make all the difference if it is on point, When working on my film "Motherhood", Ros worked incredibly hard to understand what the message was and then took complete responsibility for executing the score to the highest standard. He is an absolute pleasure to work with - talented, dedicated and alive with creative passion for his craft.
Film Director, Cinematographer
Every film production has it's unique challenges. For that reason I had to constantly change composers. Since Ros was extremely reliable after our second orchestral collaboration, I thought I would let him have a shot at a completely different genre - death metal. It was not until then that his genius became clear to me, and I now want to never miss him at any of my production again! I look forward to a mutual professional career a la Spielberg / Williams ! Thank you, Ros for your magnificent work ! Chapeau!

I have worked with Ros on several occasions in my capacity as music publisher. Ros is a an experienced and highly talented film composer, who is committed to his work. His elite education and his background as a performing musician nicely complement his expertise in music production. Ros' friendly and social manner makes every collaboration a pleasure.
