remarks
Given the reactions to my work, I know how to 'stir' people with my cinematic music themes. My styles are very diverse and visual. As a musician (guitarist) I am a pop musician...actually a real 'rocker'. As a composer I think and create from a completely different angle: the classical/orchestral world. In addition, I wink at world music (Asia, Spain, Brazil, Argentina, Bulgaria). Depending on the wishes, my productions are performed by myself in my own recording studio, or by entire symphony orchestras, or everything in between.
In addition to music, I have also focused on sound design since 1998, which has influenced my vision of music by image, for example by not composing something 'densely', but rather by looking for a supporting balance between music and sound. But of course sometimes you just need a 'fat' theme!
