About

I am a Film, TV, and media composer based in Germany with a specialization in orchestral and hybrid-orchestral scores. I pride myself on my thematic writing, textural depth, and precise narrative timing. Whether working with boutique chamber ensembles or large-scale hybrid productions, I combine live orchestra, sound design, and modern electronics to create production-ready stems delivered on time and on budget.

My core strengths include orchestral and hybrid writing, orchestration, mockups and MIDI programming, score preparation, and session producing both remotely and in-studio. I excel at cue architecture and leitmotif design, stem management and delivery in stereo or 5.1 formats, music editing and conforming, and enjoy collaborative spotting and narrative development. I am comfortable joining projects at any stage, from early tone tests to last-minute additional music, across feature documentaries, series, narrative features, and game cues.
