I met Alyssa on a late night in the studio and we started talking about music. After a long talk we decided to let the music speak and we started improvising. I sat down at the piano and we came up with a couple of tunes. This is one of them.

The Alyssa Tapes I

The big drama that a string orchestra is capable of conveying was my choice of weapon to represent the tension that can exist between brothers. Cain and Abel are the protagonists, the moment of fratricide is the setting.

Brothers

Music I've composed for a commercial. Setting a mysterious mood that resolves in the warmth of hope... and a question mark to finish this short tune.

A Gentle Future

A short tune I've composed for the introduction of a wedding show.

The Announcement

A short tune I've composed for an anti-tobacco commercial in California. The idea was to create a dialogue between the piano and the acoustic guitar. 

Younger Than Before

A short tune that describes a smooth mysterious protagonist, while he steals your notion of time.

Time Robber

Another short and mysterious tune. Like a landscape painting, something that has to be observed closely to discover the full soundpalette.

Distant Fog I

Classic style orchestration, to motivate my piano students!

Clementi - Sonatine C major op.36/1

As I was working as an assistant director on a documentary about the collapse of the quarry in the Limburg village Zichen-Zussen-Bolder in 1958, I wanted to compose a piece for solo violin. I ended up using 2 violins, as it felt more appropriate to emulate this particular feeling of solitude. Solitude becomes a sort of inner dialogue. You try to sustain that feeling of hope when despair is slowly crawling up your spine.

A Solitary Earth

Reflecting on the prayer. As in Don't Waste Your Time, I've tried to set a pulsating anxiety in contrast with a gentle melody. This time the climax is a cry of despair. "Pray for us sinners" 

Hail Mary

A short television tune I wrote. It's available for use, so if interested just contact me! Enjoy!
