Projects
As a composer, I have always been interested in creating music that is both innovative and entertaining. My goal is to push the boundaries of what is possible with sound, while still maintaining a sense of fun and playfulness. As a sound designer, I strive to create unique sonic worlds that immerse the listener in a new and exciting experience. Whether it's creating the perfect ambiance for a game or film, or designing an original soundtrack, I am always looking for new ways to enhance the audio environment. My hope is that my work will bring joy to those who hear it, and that it will inspire others to explore the possibilities of sound. Thank you for taking the time to listen.

About
(COMPOSER | SOUND DESIGNER | VISUAL ARTIST)
I was drawn to compose and perform music some 25 years ago. Sound effects and mixing were added to the repertoire along the way, as was voice coaching for animation work that included the musical composition of over 150 original songs in multiple languages.
I have more than 300 projects under my belt, and new challenges beckon me still. My passion is driven by forces that defy description and explanation. I have often said that music is like math; you don’t create it, you discover it.
I am dyslexic. Yet, I pore over scientific and historical materials that feed my hunger for knowledge. Musical notation is foreign to me. Yet, I mastered the piano as a teenager, and I create music that will stir your soul. I’ve heard all the labels: show-off, weirdo, genius. Several years ago, I was mentored by a musicologist from the Sorbonne in Paris. He encouraged me to defy convention and to make my own way. I haven’t looked back.
I have composed music for television, documentary films, advertising, performers, live shows and more. I have been nominated for many awards.
These awards are for my work in music, sound design and even visual design. I have been working in the music and sound industry for over 25 years and have gained a lot of experience and knowledge in that time. I am very passionate about what I do, and I believe that this comes through in my work. I am always striving to create the best possible audio experiences for my clients and their audiences. I am very proud of the awards that I have won, and I believe they are a testament to the high quality of my work. I look forward to continuing to make great music and sound design in the future!
I am a proud geek. I keep abreast of audio and visual technologies, and I have been known to influence their design. As much as they may inform my art, they exist to serve it, not to define it. “Gesamtkunstwerk” is the German word for “total work of art.” This is what I embrace in almost every project I take on.
My world is one where ideas become reality via teamwork and via the gifts that I am privileged to have. These gifts and the creation they bring forth may be unstructured and unbounded, but a deadline is a deadline. I am there for you at every turn. I look forward to hearing from you.
