E.S. Posthumus is an indie music group that produces cinematic style music. It is a form of epic classical that fuses intertwined drum beats with orchestral and electronic sounds. Their music is inspired by the Pythagorean Philosophy which states that "music is the harmonization of opposites; the conciliation of warring elements." The "E.S." stands for "Experimental Sounds" while "Posthumus" is said to represent "all things past".

The group was formed in 2000 by brothers Helmut Vonlichten and Franz Vonlichten. Born and raised in Los Angeles, Helmut and Franz studied piano with their mother. After graduating from high school Franz worked in recording studios while Helmut attended and graduated from UCLA with a degree in archaeology.
