CSE | Cellotic Soundtrack Ensemble / Fantasy Soundtrack-Cover made in Berlin

About

The Cellotic Soundtrack Ensemble (CSE) plays instrumental soundtrack music from films, series and games of various genres. The selection of mostly song-like pieces includes well-known and popular works of cross-generational melodies. The covers, interpreted with cellos, piano and percussion, are based on music from fantasy titles such as "Game of Thrones", the anime classics of the Japanese "Studio Ghibli" or Hans Zimmer's works, such as the soundtrack to "Interstellar". These include deeply melancholic as well as intensely rocking interpretations.

All arrangements and interpretations are genuine originals of the ensemble. Every piece has their own rich character while maintaining the atmosphere of the original.

"Forest of Reverie" – our new album arrives on 13.11.2026!

We're thrilled to announce our first full-length album! "Forest of Reverie" releases on November 13, 2026 on CD and Bandcamp via our own label Cellotic Music, with the streaming release following on January 22, 2027. At almost 50 minutes across 13 tracks, it's our most extensive work yet, weaving together melodies from anime, fantasy, games and soundtrack worlds - from the driving energy of "Sword Art Online" to the epic atmosphere of "Honkai: Star Rail" to our very first take on Disney's "The Lion King". As a special highlight, we also arranged our own version of the Tetris melody, complete with a specially produced music video. Two tracks get a special Vocal Version featuring our guest artists João Gomez and Emiko Okuyama. The CD also includes an exclusive bonus track that won't be available on streaming.

The AnimagiC 2025 and three fantastic days of music and emotion are now over. We are incredibly grateful for this unique opportunity. The premiere of the ensemble version of the Violet Evergarden orchestra concert was a resounding success! We are still overwhelmed by all the impressions, feedback and memories we were able to experience in collaboration with the Japanese production team and the AnimagiC.
