I am a composer and sound designer with more than twenty years of experience across film, advertising, and contemporary art. My practice focuses on crafting emotionally driven music and sound design that enhances narrative structure, reinforces visual identity, and builds strong atmospheric coherence. I work at the intersection of cinematic composition, electronic music, and immersive sound, bringing both artistic depth and production reliability to every project. In collaboration with Soundwalk Collective since 2019, I contribute to multidisciplinary works with film, contemporary art, and spatial sound, including projects with Patti Smith such as Correspondences and Paradam. I have contributed to the Oscar-nominated All the Beauty and the Bloodshed and design soundscapes for installations, performances, and cinematic narratives within demanding creative frameworks. My ongoing practice blends artistic sensitivity with practical production workflows to deliver clear, sync-ready material.
