Austrian native Herwig Maurer’s work is influenced by over three decades immersed in a wide range of spiritual modalities. These include Western Mystery Schools, Earth-based religions, Systemic Constellation Work, NLP, and various other delicacies from the spiritual salad bar that Southern California embodies. Adopted by Lakota Native Americans, the term “shaman” could be used to describe him, though he rejects how the word is used in today’s Western world.

Somehow he also managed to find time to get his photography featured in Rolling Stone Magazine as well as in exhibitions next to works by Picasso and Basquiat, score movies, produce/mix/remix other music artists, become a playable character in the Playstation game Rocketbirds (which his band New World Revolution also provided tracks and original score for), as well as write and create music ranging from rock n’ roll to ambient soundscapes to underground techno club hits and collaborate in the Academy Award-nominated audio design of the film Apocalypto.

Industry circles have long heralded him as a pioneering modern-day renaissance man. Co-founder of the critically acclaimed band, Mankind Liberation Front, his IMDB profile reveals his impressive technical and creative prowess ranging from composer, sound designer and editor to recording, programming, mixing, production and more.

Herwig lives with his 7 year-old son as well as several foxes, horses and rattlesnakes in a trailer and tipi in the hills of Malibu, CA. He dreams of talking Peter Jackson into helping him realize a gritty and epic multi-feature film version of the Old Testament, totaling a minimum of 93 hours. Besides his various music projects Herwig is currently wrapping sound design on Amazon’s upcoming Reacher series reboot, and developing Chaos Medicine, a label of ceremonial music and clothing, both geared to benefit indigenous elders and causes, as well as to reprogram the global consciousness with positive healing content.

Introducing his music by Memories From The Future, GALACTIC HISTORY is also Maurer's film production and directorial debut. Working with a laptop, crayons and no budget, he considers it a demo for expanding into multiple areas, including (but not limited to) live and interactive art experiences, as well as television and film.
