In my 11 years of composing career, I've been mostly writing music for theatre. But cinema, especially more philosophical, arthouse movies have been my passion since teenage years.
I love trying to get deep into intentions what a material wants to get under people's skin. Working in theatre has given me an understanding of not trying to create only from one angle- I search for possibilities many different atmospheres and feelings music can create, and the exploration of that drives me the most.
I mostly create as a solo multi-instrumentalist. I record real instruments in real acoustics as much as possible.
But I have the basic skills of composing with daws, MIDI and working with sound-design, I have also a formal education in composition and understand the basics of orchestration, writing sheetmusic, etc.
In theatre I have also gained an experience in working with musicians, actors and singers, so besides being a studio-rat, I love creating with other people aswell.
