About

As a versatile composer, conductor and music producer, I craft immersive soundscapes for film, concert, and interdisciplinary projects. My work explores innovative concert formats and integrates diverse artistic practices, aiming to expand the audience’s experience beyond traditional settings.

With a strong foundation in musical dramaturgy and sonic aesthetics, I enhance narrative depth and emotional resonance. I have solid experience in film scoring and creative audio editing, shaping sound to support storytelling with clarity and emotional impact. Additionally, my background in ensemble and orchestral conducting, as well as collaborative performance, ensures productions that are both artistically compelling and technically refined.
