Crystin Fawn
composer / singer / writer / producer of acoustic and electronic music
Crystin Fawn - also known as Crystin ( writer and producer of projects like the sea & the sun, Hearhere, C42, Shakespeare Calling, Absence Of Doubt, ICO et al.) is a multi-media composer & producer, sound sculptor, singer & writer of acoustic & electronic music from Düsseldorf. Her musical spectrum ranges from pure solo-pieces - up to deep electronic music - to shiny indie pop songs and pure piano soundscapes. Parallel to her law studies she set up her own studio, built up a music production company & a label together with her partner. She releases solo & band albums, writes and produces music mainly for film & international stagings. Feeling at home in very different styles she releases music under different names and sometimes "hidden behind projects". In the past she received the renowned composition advancement award of her hometown Düsseldorf. Her compositions were part of several international films / theatre productions ("Hanami", "Robert Zimmermann wundert sich über die Liebe", "The Horla", "Behind the Curtain"...).
Crystin Fawn made 2 official remixes for "Die Fantastischen Vier" (of 2 songs from their latest album "Captain Fantastic"). After composing and producing music for plays directed by the renowned British director Andy McQuade (Second Skin Theatre London and L.A.), she is now increasingly creating music for theatre and stage productions—ranging from Shakespearean works to contemporary pieces.(A selection of her work can be heard as part of the Shakespeare Calling - project - founded in collaboration with Pete Brough and 2 close friends).
Her atmospheric soundtrack / multi-media - projects "C42" and "ICO", her pure piano project "Absence Of Doubt" and several lounge-projects carry her music into the world, too.
Last but not the least: She is the sister part of the acoustic twin band "the sea & the sun" and of the electro-duo "Hearhere".
"Under My Skin" - a song I wrote and produced in 2007 - has been sampled, reimagined, renamed and "overrapped" countless times across the world. It seems to be a simple reminder that, deep down, we are all the same. Sadly, much of this has happened beyond the bounds of copyright.. Therefore I decided to release some very special, experimental and consoling remixes featuring some fantastic producers & friends.. The wonderful Hans Steingen produced a deeply touching musical journey through my father's home scenery..
UNDER MY SKIN (STEINGEN RMX) will be released on 18.04.2025...
Kurt Schmidt from THE WIDE made an impressive indie pop remix - coming out at the end of MAY.. .
Crystin - "River (Rain Part II)" - written in 2012 - is part of a new ijs-ev film / documentary. It shows in an impressive touching way, how important and saving individual social pedagogy can be....
Shakespeare Calling / Crystin Fawn have reimagined Sonnet 18 as a graceful indie pop hymn, capturing its timeless essence in music.
Emily’s lovely and beloved poem "Stars" lives on in this humble song, which I am releasing under Shakespeare Calling. Thanks

... Yes, there actually still is some authenticity and sparkle in the music business.
Crystin creates a mysterious, intriguing planet, whose impressive diversity and
filigreed beauty are tantamount to a revelation.
(Dieter Bross - STYLE international)
... At some point I finally started to play Crystin's CD, which revealed not only an
alluringly fresh and unspoiled female vocal but also a beguiling instrumental
arrangement... Every minute is worth hearing. ...
