Tom Tykwer, Johnny Klimek, and Reinhold Heil together make up the group sometimes known as Pale 3. Tykwer is best known as a writer/director of films like Run Lola Run, The Princess and the Warrior, Perfume: The Story of a Murderer, The International, and (with the Wachowskis) Cloud Atlas. Tykwer provides musical ideas for his films that are fleshed out by Klimek and Heil. One of the trio's contributions outside the Tykwer films was the song "In My Head" used in the Club Hel sequence of The Matrix Revolutions. This composition, along with the scores for Run Lola Run and Land of the Dead (the latter without Tykwer's involvement), features a heavily electronic style built on the mens' former experience playing in rock bands. But Perfume: The Story of a Murderer and Cloud Atlas feature effective orchestral writing while still retaining more modern electronic elements in a lesser role. The latter film uses a mix of musical styles to score the six variegated stories set in different time periods, united by a classical-style sextet. Klimek and Heil have also collaborated on films such as One Hour Photo, The Cave, One Missed Call, and The Killer Elite and the TV series Deadwood, Without a Trace, and Awake.
