I feel empty

A Whore's Dream is a story of a 12 years old girl named "Iris" who is a prostitute in New York city. She moved there after the death of her father to find a new identity and a new life. This song is being narrated by Travis who is a taxi driver.The idea came to me after re-watching the "Taxi driver" movie after 6 years. I wrote it in Minimal style due to Iris's strange life which is full of reputation, just like any other whore, or just like our life. The only difference between Iris and us, is that she is a whore and we are ...well...we are...Who are we?

A Whore's Dream(Finale)

I am pleased to announce that a specially commissioned VR version of my composition 'Shy Dancer No.2' will be presented during the Medientage Munich (24-30 October 2020). For this purpose I have completely revised and re-recorded the piece. By the acoustic and virtual separation of the instrumentation the visitor gets the opportunity to generate his own moods out of the composition by locating himself where the music appeals to him.
You can simply try it out, free Expo tickets are available at:

(And yes, you don't need an extra VR Head Set, a Smartphone will do :-)

Special thanks to Silke Schmidt (Head of XR HUB Bavaria) and Tim Deussen (Head of XR Marketing) !!

The Shy Dancer Experience

It seems that almost every other day, I am excited to discover a new album, a new artist, a new publisher, and today is no exception. Sébastien Guérive may be new to my ears and these pages, but he comes out with a punch. First, there was a mesmerising music video, released in January, which has already been granted numerous film festival awards [more on that later], then I've got a private preview of his upcoming full length, titled Omega Point [it's out on March 19th], but today I am happy to share with you this exclusive premiere of a single, "Bellatrix," taken from the very same album. Listening to these atmospheric, neo-classical, and cinematic pieces, I immediately recognize that this is not the first foray into contemporary production for this French composer. The harmonically rich melodic progressions pleasantly enchant my attuned ear; the combination of acoustic instruments, such as piano and strings, breathe sustenance and life into an intriguing cinematic journey; the sound design on vintage analogue and modern digital synths cuts through with technical prowess and talent; and then, of course, being a sound engineer himself, Guérive carefully sculpts every layer, each textured aura, each instrument's exclusive timbre, into its own devoted space. And all of this is so sublime that I have even bumped a plug to share my very own new single out today. :)

‘Omega Point’ is an instrumental album inspired by the form of a sci-fi movie soundtrack. This unique recording is a mix of ambient atmospheres with a strong presence of sound design and minimalist melodic themes. […] Long-term modulations and transformations have been generated so that each sound source approaches the richness of expressiveness of an acoustic instrument.
