Marcel Vaid's most important goal is to develop an individual language, an individual and discreet soundscape for every film. In the foreground is the motto LESS IS MORE. An outstanding sound-aesthetical concern is the examination of acoustical instruments and their stereoscopic processing in the computer. Marcel Vaid gives diverse Masterclasses and Workshops.

PRESS SHORTS
HOLLYWOOD REPORTER / LESLIE FELPERIN / 'MY NAME IS SALT' "With fine-tuned assistance from composer Marcel Vaid (whose light, tinkling score is a delight), the filmmakers evoke the insistent rhythms of the family's labor. "
THE GUARDIAN/ MARK KERMODE / 'MY NAME IS SALT' "Here are moonscapes of mud, made all the more eerie by Marcel Vaid's alien score, accompanied by the strange chugging of oil-driven engines,
FESTIVAL DE CANNES / GOODNIGHT NOBODY "Everything from the production to the music goes towards making us let go and immerse into the film at least as vigorously as others fight against sleep. The soundtrack of Marcel Vaid, ephemeral as a cloud of ether, makes us gradually descend into a hypnotic state and offers us a possible sleep on top of that."
SÜDDEUTSCHE ZEITUNG / 'GOODNIGHT NOBODY' "The physical state of sleeplessness - this agonizing and yet sensual rush, the feeling as if the nerve fibres were located outside the skin - are being perceived through the images as well as the buzzing, throbbing sounds of Marcel Vaid's film music." NZZ / UELI BERNAYS / 'DIE DACHKANTINE' "Remarkable is how the filmmusic by Marcel Vaid incorporates the patterns of club music and merges them into warmer hues and a sound panorama that carries the techno sounds out of the spatial and temporal positioning of the club."
KULTURPLATZ SWISS RADIO DRS2 / ERIC FACON / 'TANDOORI LOVE' "Marcel Vaid has written a musical score that conveys in its complete wistfulness the magic and wanderlust which cinema entails."
NEUE ZÜRCHER ZEITUNG / BETTINA SPOERRI / ON 'BON APPETIT' "The film by Spanish director David Pinillos comes out with witty dialogues and twists in the plot. 'Bon Appétit' pays homage to kitchen-alchemy with relish, atmospherically spiced with music by award winning composer Marcel Vaid. " SWISS RADIO DRS 2 /
