Description

So, I guess this is the part where I write a lot of cheesy stuff. Okay, here we go:


When I was eight, I bought my first soundtrack, Aliens from James Horner. I immediately started creating my own soundtracks, back then through cutting my favourite parts together on tapes. Seventeen years old and having my first keyboard, I started writing orchestral songs.

In 2008 I already had founded my first recording studio and was also songwriter, producer and player of traditional string instruments in the popular, medieval-folk band Capud Draconis. After 5 years of Rock 'n Roll on stages I decided to take a brave step and to fully concentrate on composing soundtracks for film and videogames.

2014, together with my friend Konstantine Kazantzis, I founded X-Score, a composer team for soundtracks for RPG adventures, while at the same time continuing to compose music for various videogames and feature films. In 2016 our Earthdawn soundtrack was awarded with the RPC Jury Award.
