I started to write music for film 15 years ago . During my studies of jazz piano and tonmeister I attended a class that was called "film scoring". It turned out that was able to translate emotions to music quite well. A decade later I have more than a dozen film scores under my belt: features, shorts, animation shorts, documentaries, etc. My studio is well equipped, with gear to tackle even orchestra recordings, and to process even the most sophisticated soundtracks, scores and cd productions.

My key competences are composition and sound-design on the one hand, recordings and mixes on the other hand. I'm well connected to musicians, sound designers and recordists as well, which enables me to carry out even the most complex projects of any size while still keeping control over the tiniest detail, since everything comes together in my very own studio.

Emotions are the key to any film score. The visuals may be neutral or translate into emtions themselves, but the soundtrack will shape the message that the film conveys. This does not mean that I determine what the picture says, after all there's still the director. And it's the director who has the vision that is translated to the audience by the composer. Therefore the director is routinely asked many questions about what he wants to convey to the audience and how he wants to do it: What does the character feel like and how do we want to support this emotion musically? What are his motives? Do we want to reflect the feelings of the protagonist or the emotions of another character? Most directors have a clear vision of their film so these questions can be answered easily.

All of this enables the director to make the film he wants, and contributes to what a director does through his team:
To tell a story.
