Alongside a career in theatre I started writing music for shorts, and I scored my first feature film in 1998. I was involved in about 15 projects, sometimes early on in the production process, sometimes as a last minute emergency composer. I like writing for the human voice, solo instruments, smaller ensembles as well as symphony orchestra. What I adore most is combining these with digital soundscape design. I take charge of the complete process (writing, organizing, recording, mixing, declaration) until delivery of the master.
