“The score carves the path. Harmony reveals the soul. Silence leaves the scar.” — Konstantin Kemnitz I don’t just compose music – I craft emotional architecture. My scores are built to move stories, breathe with characters, and carry what’s felt but never spoken. I'm a film composer and orchestrator with a classical foundation and a cinematic mindset. I studied at the Royal College of Music in London (Scoring for Screen, RCM Scholar, Clifton Parker Award) and hold a BA in Film Composition from ArtEZ University of the Arts (Netherlands). My music has shaped award-winning productions such as Juliet Must Die (Max Ophüls Prize), Someone (Oscar-qualified), and Wild Tech – Conservation Through Advanced Technology, a nature documentary honored with Gold at the Deauville Green Awards, Best Science Film at the Green Screen Festival, and the Sustainability Award at the Natourale Wiesbaden. I've worked with directors, producers, and orchestras across Europe, recording with the Ereprijs Orchestra and the RCM Symphony Orchestra in world-class studios such as Air-Edel (London) and Galaxy Studios (Belgium). I've had the privilege of learning from some of the most influential voices in film scoring, including Harry Gregson-Williams (Narnia), George Fenton (Planet Earth), Richard Bellis (It), and Jason Graves (Dead Space, Tomb Raider). My music has been featured on major German broadcast channels and international film festivals. If you're looking for a sound that goes beyond the frame—something that resonates, reveals, and remains—then let’s tell your story in a way it deserves to be heard.

    uniE603 The Conduit
    “The Conduit” is a narrative-driven cinematic concept that explores psychological tension, mystery, and inner conflict. For this project, I composed and produced a fully orchestral score with an emphasis on elegant, melodic writing and emotional pacing. The music draws inspiration from classic film scoring aesthetics, especially the timeless sound of John Barry, using rich harmonic textures and dramatic orchestration. The score was entirely composed, orchestrated, mixed, and produced by myself. The goal of this project was to showcase how orchestral music can emotionally elevate a visual narrative – even in the absence of a traditional film production – and serve as a standalone storytelling force. soundtrack master instrumental music orchestralscore emotionalmusic narrativemusic
