PC Nackt is a multiple Grammy-nominated composer, performance artist, multi-instrumentalist, and producer based in Berlin. Known for his post-genre approach to music, he is the co-founder of several projects, including the electropunk band Warren Suicide, the String Theory Orchestra, the Berlin recording studio ChezChéri, and the band Raison, formed with Schorsch Kamerun. Since 2015, the duo has been creating and staging experimental music theatre at opera houses and theatres across the German-speaking world. Their latest work, “Große Gewinne Schwere Verluste – Musiktheatraler Parcours für eine Welt, wie wir sie kannten,“ has been running at the Deutsches Theater Berlin since April 2025.
PC Nackt has composed for film (including collaborations with Wim Wenders and Drake Doremus), television and streaming platforms (notably Dark and Breaking Bad), theater (for directors including Sebastian Hartmann and Jossi Wieler), and orchestras (including the Bremen Philharmonic Orchestra and the Kharkiv Orchestra). His work has earned numerous honors, including the American Independent Music Award, Best Soundtrack at Cannes, and recognition at Theatertreffen 2023. His piano-electronica score for Constanze Klaue’s feature film MIT DER FAUST IN DIE WELT SCHLAGEN premiered at this year’s Berlinale.
Working both as a solo artist and collaborator—with artists such as José González and Apparat—PC Nackt has released numerous recordings and performed at leading international festivals (including Glastonbury, UK), concert halls (such as London’s Royal Albert Hall), and clubs (including the Apollo Theater in New York). In 2024, he founded the theater music label Naked Records, dedicated to spotlighting stage music and the artists who compose it.
For the UFA Film Nights 2025, PC Nackt has composed an exclusive original score for THE CONVICT FROM ISTANBUL and will perform it live.
