    Signale aus dem Raum (single)

    https://www.twine.net/signin

    A submission of mine for the independent online zine, WILLOWS, won me the “featured artist” spot. The piece I composed, Signale aus dem Raum (2025), is a sonic bath of guitars, fx, and electronic sampling. Included in the link is an interview on my process for composing this piece, as well as an original version I recorded in 2020.

    All parts were composed, performed, and mixed by me.

    Strawberry Popcorn OST

    https://on.soundcloud.com/yCc6ai8aj9yCxEp03a

    Composed an original score for an the independent game “Strawberry Popcorn” using synths. There are three tracks, each of which evoke their own sound world. “Main Theme” is cheeky and lighthearted, “Calm” is soothing and relaxing, and “Mother” is a classic boss fight.

    All the music was produced, composed, and mixed by me.
