Paul Haslinger (b. 11 December 1962) is an Austrian-born composer and musician currently based in Los Angeles, California. After studying classical music in Vienna, Austria, Haslinger joined the German electronic music group, Tangerine Dream in 1986. During the following 5 years he recorded a total of 15 albums with the group, participated in 4 international tours and collaborated on a number of soundtracks, including Miracle Mile, Near Dark, and Shy People. The soundtrack album for the Miramar release Canyon Dreams earned Haslinger his first Grammy nomination in 1991. Haslinger decided to leave the group and move to Los Angeles in 1992.

In 1998, he was asked to join the team around film composer Graeme Revell, working as a programmer and arranger for projects such as Chinese Box, The Negotiator, The Siege, Pitch Black, Blow and Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. It was during this time that Haslinger decided to redirect his creative effort towards film scoring specifically and music-to-picture applications in general.

Paul Haslinger’s ‘Exit Ghost II’, the 2021 album from composer and former member of Tangerine Dream, is finally given a limited edition vinyl release. The record follows his critically acclaimed LP ‘Exit Ghost’, released in 2020.

Born out of an incessant need to escape the trauma that has gripped the world for the last year, coupled with an urge to complement the introspective and moody atmospherics of his last record, ‘Exit Ghost II’ is the counter-element which closes the circle. In the tradition of minimalist masters Steve Reich and Philip Glass, Haslinger builds from pre-existing fragments of sound combining string loops with newly drawn up string parts. ‘Septuagint’ features co-conspiratorial additions from film score composer and sound designer Charlie Campagna (‘Iron Man 3’, 2009’s ‘Star Trek’, ‘Blade Runner 2049’). An album written in protest to the dark happenings in the world and the musician’s refusal to be pulled into the vortex. ‘Exit Ghost II’ is Paul Haslinger’s quest for arrival after a year lost at sea.
