I am a Berlin-based composer and sound designer with a passion for blending classical music training with modern experimental sound. My journey began with piano lessons at a young age, and I later pursued formal education in musicology at the University of Amsterdam and composition at HKU Utrecht.
Over the years, I have had the opportunity to work on diverse projects, creating music for film, theater, animation, and multimedia art. A few highlights of my career include my collaboration with the experimental trio K(I)M, where I explore the fusion of psychedelic rock, electronic music, and ambient sound. I have also contributed music to the Cloud Commission project, which combines sound design and visual art in an experimental multimedia format.
My work has been featured at international film festivals, such as the Utrecht Film Festival, and showcased at prestigious events like the Golden Mask Festival in Moscow. Additionally, I collaborate with PANDA Platform on sound and music projects, always pushing the boundaries of music’s potential in different artistic settings.
