Vienna-based composer shaping experimental electroacoustic music for media. I intertwine field recordings, acoustic instruments, and transformed organic sounds into soundscapes that move like shifting harmonies. My musical journey began in Tuscany with cello and piano, guided by the resonance of a first field recorder at nine and later expanded through the counterpoint of DAWs from 2015. I studied Media Composition at VMI and Experimental and Electroacoustic Music (ELAK) at mdw Vienna (graduating 2025), drawing on British, Czech, and German heritage as recurring motifs in my work.

    • Fixed-media design from cello, horn, oboe, and timpani sources
    • 5th-order Ambisonics spatialisation in Reaper with IEM Suite
    • Timecode materials and performance assets
    • Mix and master for stage and video

    Technical notes

    • Inputs: 3 close microphones
    • Playback: Reaper project with IEM MultiDecoder

    paper The Warrior Theme for Ghost of Tsushima

    I mainly used percussive elements as well as flutes in this Ghost of Tsushima inspired track.

    paper Silent Contemplations Ambience Track

    This ambience track I composed using my own field recordings of the sea and cicadas in Croatia, then finally combined it with violin and Duduk recordings I had originally done for other projects. Using simple audio techniques such as pitching and stretching, I was able to work with very little material.
