Today’s #MusicalMinute has a mysterious feel; perhaps it is because the previous three days have been using a pitch-class set of 5-35 and there has been a shift to 5-27.  Regular listeners and readers will know that I am currently in the R&D phase of a challenge that I am setting myself for 2026.  Today’s thought is ‘mastery of moods with modes’ in an environment of ambient minimalism.  What do you think?

Born on January 21, 1984, in Brandenburg an der Havel (Germany), Florian Linckus discovered his passion for film and storytelling at an early age. This love soon extended to music, where he found a profound connection between sound and narrative. By the late 1990s, he began creating his own works, focusing on music for film.

In the early 2000s, Florian composed for several short films and refined his craft through formal training in composition at the Deutsche Pop Music Academy, graduating in 2009. Since 2007, he has collaborated closely with VFX artist Thomas Zeug, composing music for the beloved animated series 2 Aliens: Quiqueck & Hämat since 2012.

Florian’s career took on an international dimension in 2014 when he began assisting renowned Chinese composer Raymond Wong. His contributions span film and television, including notable projects like Ice Man, Horror Online, The Monkey King, The Treasure, and Lingji, along with several acclaimed Asian TV series.

Florian Linckus is a master of versatility, navigating effortlessly across genres to find the perfect tone for every project. His rich and diverse musical palette ranges from classical orchestral arrangements to bold, sound design-driven contemporary works. Whether crafting epic cinematic scores or intimate musical landscapes, Florian continues to push the boundaries of musical storytelling.

I started composing daily pieces and posting them onto SoundCloud at the beginning of 2013.  By posting daily I am tweaking, experimenting and developing a thought, idea or event in time.  I am endeavouring to show that there is no limit to that creative spark that lies within each of us.  So much of what we do nowadays is about instant return, I am about evolution not revolution (although each month starts with a clean slate).  Join me on my journey to 10,000 (18 May 2040!!!)

Over the years I have found the Soundcloud community to be extremely supportive and encouraging.  It’s great to have a Global Mastermind of musical adventurers.

Thank you!

*Thank you all for your kind support*

Happy 2025
