- Varhan Orchestrovich Bauer was born on January 21, 1969 in Prague, Czechoslovakia [now Czech Republic]. He is a composer and actor, known for Goya's Ghosts (2006), Prípad Andrey S. and Hodinu nevis (2009).
- [on his music for Goya's Ghosts (2006)] I thought that the film would be directly about Goya. But, the film is more about faith and politics and how someone can trust their whole life to an idea and somebody can't. The movie surprised me: it was very impressive and very heavy, and as a result the music that I created after was very heavy too. My first impression led to 'Credo', the film's main track.
- [on changing his name] My name is 'in equality' with who I am and what I am doing. 'Nomen omen' means which name you choose and you use gives you power which you get back and if you choose properly and everything is in harmony, the result is perfect. In the name is everything: there is my love of aristocracy, there is some self-irony, a little bit of Don Quixotism or parody and I like it. Because I don't take myself so seriously and I think that's good.
