My background is punk. My obsession is sound. The clink of a fork against a wine glass can freeze a room. Everyone turns their head. One tiny sound, and suddenly there’s tension. That’s the power of sound. And I try to channel that same energy into my scores. Playing as much as I can myself, and shaping sounds that feel tactile, alive.
After graduating from university, my piece ›Bad Tommy‹ was nominated at the Sound Cinema Festival Düsseldorf in the category Acoustic Stories. That was the moment it all started clicking.
Since then, I’ve worked across styles and formats. I’m a multi-instrumentalist – guitar, piano, synth, bass, drums, sometimes the trumpet. Whatever’s lying around. I enjoy slipping between different musical languages depending on the story. I don’t like one-size-fits-all film music. I’d rather get it wrong in an interesting way than play it safe and bland.
My music has been featured on ZDF, ARTE, WDR and RTL, as well as in commercials for brands like Audi, BMW, Adidas – and most recently in the official soundtrack for the European Championship Documentary ›Unser Team‹, directed by Tom Häusler and produced for RTL/OMR. Next to Lead Composer ABBOTT.
One of the most defining projects was Istina – a short film that won a Student Academy Award and was nominated for the Student BAFTA.
Thanks for reading all of this. If you’ve got a project, an idea, or just want to talk about weird sounds – I’m all ears.
