I wanted to make a track that sounds just like you'd imagine the home of the Greek gods - grand, powerfull, majestic, supernatural and kind of ancient. What do you think? Did I succeed?

The song is best known in the Gary Jules version, which was recorded for the movie Donnie Darko in 2000. The original is a way faster synth-pop song by Tears for Fears from 1982. 
I decided to make my own version: mid-tempo, for band and string ensemble. 
The voiceovers you can hear in the intro and the midsection are from the movies Donnie Darko and Dead Poets Society.

Dedicated to the glacier Okjökull, who is the first one iceland officially lost to the global warming. 
This is a world wide problem and will affect the future of the human species and nature itself.

Our Last Chance (Single Edit)| A song about global warming

My music project ZAPIENS is combining electronic music with epic orchestral elements and sociocritical lyrics. The songs are dealing with today’s crises and what it means to be human. 

The first EP entitled “Show Colours” came out in november 2019. The lyrics are focusing on recent protests around the globe and highlighting the consequences of climate change, social injustice and inaction of politics.

ZAPIENS - Show Colours (Epic Electro EP) Snippets

My first piano EP contains four songs and two interludes, sometimes blending into one another. It's a concept EP about the powerful symbolism of rain. It’s not about rain per se, but about what rain can stand for. Maybe you think of misery and sorrow in the first place. Or maybe you think of life and regeneration.

My music project ZAPIENS is combining electronic music with epic orchestral elements and sociocritical lyrics. The songs are dealing with today’s crises and what it means to be human.

The second EP "Globalized" is focusing on the cultural and ethical tasks our society is confronted with due to globalization and internet. Musically, the combination of divers electronic styles and orchestral sounds continues. Going from steady pumping beats with aggressive synthesizers to relaxed but haunting soundscapes.

Hi, I'm a composer, arranger and producer from Hamburg. 
I try to focus on trailer music and scores, but I’m into many different styles of music (such as metal, electro, classical music or world music).
