„When I write music, it’s always about the people I’m writing for. I like to talk, to explore, to discuss, to have fun and enjoy the process of creating music together.“ 

Natalie Schäfer is a composer who currently lives in Malmö, Sweden. When composing, she always tries to capture the emotional core of a project. To her visuals and music belong together due to the synesthesia she experiences.
