Planert is a former skydiver with 402 jumps totaling over 17 hours of free fall time. His wingsuit jumps include competing in the US National Championships and flying over Panama, Hawaii and [[Burning Man]]. His passion for wingsuiting as well as his accident are the foundation of his first solo album ''Skylight''.{{cn|date=May 2024}}
As a sound engineer and producer he worked in the [[United Kingdom|UK]] for over a decade, recording and mixing more than 40 albums and also soundtracks for several films including ''[[American Cousins]]'', ''[[The Bone Collector]]'', ''One Last Chance'' and the TV show ''Crowdie + Cream'' - which won a [[British Academy of Film and Television Arts|BAFTA]] award for "Best Soundtrack" and "Best Theme".


Planert scored the project ''Skid Row Marathon'', a feature-length documentary following the story of a Los Angeles judge who starts a running club on [[Skid Row, Los Angeles|Skid Row]] to give its members a second chance at life as they battle their addictions. Planert invited a former addict and homeless musician (one of the subjects of the documentary) to work on the score with him and also conduct a cue at the final scoring session. They still frequently collaborate.
Kim received his masters from the [[University of North Carolina School of the Arts|UNCSA]] School of the Arts and his Bachelor of Recording Arts from the [[Southern Cross University]] of [[Australia]]. He studied under veteran composers such as [[Emmy Award|Emmy-award]] winner [[Hummie Mann]], David McHugh (''[[Mystic Pizza]]''), Sir Prof. Clive Pascoe (student of [[Leonard Bernstein]]) and [[Jack Smalley]] (''[[Charlie's Angels (film)|Charlie's Angels]]'', ''[[The Last of the Mohicans (1992 film)|The Last of the Mohicans]]'').


As a producer, Planert joined the teams on ''Skid Row Marathon'',<ref name="auto">{{cite web|url=http://skidrowmarathon.com|title=Skid Row Marathon Documentary|author=|date=28 March 2014|website=SkidRowMarathon.com|access-date=4 May 2017}}</ref> ''A Reason''<ref name="A Reason">{{cite web|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2421328/combined|title=A Reason|author=|date=1 June 2014|publisher=|access-date=4 May 2017|via=IMDb}}</ref> and ''Chasing Grace''<ref name="Chasing Grace">{{cite web|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3475540/combined|title=Chasing Grace|author=|date=31 December 2015|publisher=|access-date=4 May 2017|via=IMDb}}</ref> in bringing the projects to life. He also has his own productions in development including a TV series based on his brother's humanitarian aid work during the Bosnian war.
In addition to his professional accolades, Kim made four tours at the age of 19 to the former [[Yugoslavia]] during the armed conflict, providing humanitarian aid. One of Kim's first songs, recorded on a four track, was written for the people of [[Bihać Republic|Bihać]], who at the time were surrounded by Serbian forces. The tape made it to the "Pocket of Bihać" and was played on radio to give hope that they were not forgotten.


With ''The Game: Gambling between Life and Death'', Planert returned to the plight of the refugees beaten back, tortured and starved at the European border. The score features the ''Budapest Scoring Orchestra'', Duduk performed by [[Chris Bleth]] ([[The Mandalorian]], [[Star Trek]]), and the voice of Iranian Singer [[Azam Ali]] ([[Niyaz]], [[300 (film)|300]], [[The Matrix Revolutions|Matrix]]).
Kim's great passion for [[Parachuting|Skydiving]] and [[Wingsuit flying]] is the inspiration for his forthcoming album ''Airis''. With over 400 jumps to date, taking part in the US National Championships and flying above [[Black Rock City, NV|Black Rock City]] at [[Burning Man]], Kim's adventures in the clouds bring an exciting edge and a deeper spirituality to his already dynamic work.

Planert has also taught at the [[SAE Institute|School of Audio Engineering]] and the [[Royal Conservatoire of Scotland]].{{citation needed|date=March 2015}}

In 2022, Studio Babelsberg launched their new image trailer for which Planert contributed the music. The film and music can also be seen and heard in an exhibition in one of Germany’s major film museums, the Potsdam Film Museum.

Biography

[edit]

At the age of 19, Planert made four tours to former Yugoslavia during the Bosnian War to provide humanitarian aid. One of Planert’s first songs made it through the frontline into the "Pocket of Bihać" and was played on radio Bihać. He wrote the song for the people of the city, who were at the time surrounded by Serbian forces.[citation needed]

Before moving to Los Angeles, Planert resided in the UK where he collaborated with music producers and musicians including Craig Armstrong, Capercaillie, Secret Garden, John McLaughlin (FIVE), Dave James (Take That), Gordon Goudie (Simple Minds), Karen Matheson, Phil Cunningham, James Grant, Karen Casey, Michael McGoldrick, The Dhol Foundation, Phamie Gow, BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, and the Scottish Ensemble.[citation needed]

He worked as a sound engineer and producer for over a decade and recorded and mixed more than 40 albums as well as soundtracks for several films including American Cousins, The Bone Collector, One Last Chance and the TV show Crowdie + Cream - which won a BAFTA award for "Best Soundtrack" and "Best Theme".[citation needed]

After moving to Los Angeles, Planert started to collaborate with Robert Duncan on numerous shows between 2008 and 2016. Scoring prime time TV shows and movies, Planert gained profound film and television industry experience in Duncan's mentorship.[citation needed]

Planert and Duncan won "Best Score in a TV Show" at the Hollywood Music In Media Awards for Missing (ABC), in addition Skid Row Marathon was awarded with the Crystal Pine Award for "Best Original Score Documentary" at the International Sound & Film Music Festival in 2019. In the same year Planert’s music piece B.S.B.D. from his first solo album Skylight was nominated for the Jerry Goldsmith Award.

Planert is a former skydiver with 402 jumps totaling over 17 hours of free fall time. His wingsuit jumps include competing in the US National Championships and flying over Panama, Hawaii and Burning Man. His passion for wingsuiting as well as his accident are the foundation of his first solo album Skylight.[citation needed]

Planert scored the project Skid Row Marathon, a feature-length documentary following the story of a Los Angeles judge who starts a running club on Skid Row to give its members a second chance at life as they battle their addictions. Planert invited a former addict and homeless musician (one of the subjects of the documentary) to work on the score with him and also conduct a cue at the final scoring session. They still frequently collaborate.

As a producer, Planert joined the teams on Skid Row Marathon,[1] A Reason[2] and Chasing Grace[3] in bringing the projects to life. He also has his own productions in development including a TV series based on his brother's humanitarian aid work during the Bosnian war.

With The Game: Gambling between Life and Death, Planert returned to the plight of the refugees beaten back, tortured and starved at the European border. The score features the Budapest Scoring Orchestra, Duduk performed by Chris Bleth (The Mandalorian, Star Trek), and the voice of Iranian Singer Azam Ali (Niyaz, 300, Matrix).
