About

A screen composer and multi-instrumentalist with more than thirty years of experience scoring film, television, and games. My work on the series Valetamisklubi received a 2025 EFTA nomination for Best TV Series. Other recent credits include the feature film Säärane Mulk (2026), the series Täiuslik sõbranna, and the animation Casablanca, which was selected for the 2025 Animaffia collection.

I lead spotting sessions, shape notes into clear cue plans, and build strong mockups quickly, with careful version control across every revision. My deliveries arrive organized to spec, with clean stems, alternate mixes, sync checks, and consistent naming that keep post moving on schedule.

What makes my work different is a storytelling-first approach, shaped by classical violin training and years of recording live instruments with professional session players. I write themes that follow character and pacing. Based in Tallinn and available worldwide, remotely or on site.
