My goal is to tell stories through music, in all different kinds of media of today’s world (Film, TV, Streaming, Games) or on stage. My main compositional focus lies on a modern mix of orchestral and electronic music, where I can either make use of established patterns and compositional practices with a twist, or create something entirely new and fresh (or both). To me, supporting the existing narrative in the best and most immersive way possible is key. While I would consider Animation, Sci-Fi and Fantasy my strong suit, I am looking forward to further broadening my horizon and working in many different areas and genres!
My experiences as a musical director for musical theatre, as well as a composer and musician myself, form a solid foundation of knowledge and proficiency in a wide range of genres of music from Pop, Electro, or Metal, to classical symphonies and opera. Since I have been active as a trumpetist and pianist/keyboarder for many years in different ensembles like symphonic orchestras, choir and bands, I can bring practical experience in many different environments to the table as well.
Apart from my Bachelor’s degrees in business informatics and music informatics, I visited a one-year preparatory course in Advanced Film Scoring and Production and the one-month long Screen Composer Academy summer program to refine my skills as a composer and producer.
Currently I am studying at the Film Scoring Academy of Europe for my Master of Fine Arts in Scoring for Film and Contemporary Media.
