My music is thematically interwoven and shaped by orchestral sounds or band instruments. In my project studio near Bremen, I can not only produce and create all kinds of sounds with the help of sound libraries (orchestral, synth), but also record a number of electric and acoustic instruments (like acoustic drums, vibraphone, piano, acoustic and electric guitars, basses, mandolin and other stringed instruments, percussion, keyboards, vintage organs and a lot more). As orchestrator, midi transcriber, copyist and recording assistant, I have also gained experience in the field of orchestral score production (e.g. at Abbey Road Studios in London and Smecky Studios in Prague).
