About Me
I’m a composer based in Munich, specializing in music for film, television, and digital media. My work blends orchestral writing with electronic textures, tailored to support narrative and emotion on screen.
I’ve composed for short and feature-length films, documentaries, and experimental projects across Europe and the Middle East. I’m also a two-time first prize winner in composition, recognized for original scores in national and international competitions.
Alongside my creative work, I teach film scoring, composition, and sound design as an assistant professor in media-focused programs.
This site features selected film scores, scoring reels, and original compositions. You’ll also find examples of collaborative projects developed with directors, animators, and sound teams.
If you’re a filmmaker or producer seeking a composer—or if you’re interested in creative exchange or academic collaboration—feel free to get in touch.
