    paper Origin: A Journey Through Time

    This was my Master’s project. It included creating 45 mins of music (mostly orchestral), editing a film, and creating a technological setup to show said film in sync with the music in a church. All music, as well as the parts played by the church organ, was created by me. Additionally, I played the organ live in concert.
    The music consisted of a total of instrument tracks that needed production, mixing, and mastering.
    The full project was created in 3 months, two weeks for creating the full music,1.5 months to create the film, and 1 month for prototyping.

    paper Just a Different Flow

    In this project, my primary responsibility was creating the sound design as well as mixing and mastering the audio. Additionally, I produced remixes of the music at various points to ensure it followed the dramatic arc of the film. Every sound in this film is created by me. There was no initial camera audio.

    paper SAMUEL

    One of my all-time favorite projects by the great Olivia Nigl.
    I was responsible for the music. Since this was a time-critical project, the entire music was created in 2 days.

    paper Counterclock

    One of the first internationally successful films I was composing the music for.
    The film won a total of five international prizes, including the “LA Independent Women Film Award 2021”, as well as winning a prize at the “Cannes World Film Festival 2021”.
    One of the most unique parts of the music for this project was the usage of a church organ as the main instrument.

    paper Morgen irgendwo am Meer

    For this feature film, I created film music and was responsible for putting together a team of audio professionals to take care of the entire post-production of the film.
    The film drew more than 10,000 people into theaters around the world and won prestigious prizes, such as the “Winner Filmfest Bremen 2023”. Additionally, it received the “Prädikat besonders wertvoll” from the official German film and media rating agency.
