I compose music in different themes that can be used in games, films or other visual media. Although I have a multimedia background, I’m inspired by the old arts. I listen and study old music to rediscover “lost” sounds and techniques which I subsequently implement in contemporary compositions. There are many old and ethnic sounds which sound really fresh and unique nowadays. I’m inspired to work with that and while I’m at it, come up with new ideas in those various styles. Also as a acoustic musician (guitar, violin, vocals, castagnettes) I’ve learned a thing or two about how to make a melody, harmony or rhythm interesting. And maybe that’s what I find most important about this craft; to make something that is unique, not heard before and still interesting and captivating after many listens. 

While I started with sci-fi’esque synths, I gravitate more and more towards analog, classical instruments. However, I’ve always loved melodies and sounds that are different and I think any musical style can sound great if you’re allowing a few unusual, original ideas into the final mix. When writing music on commission it’s fun to limit yourself to the style and feeling the composition needs to convey, yet be inspired by the material you work with. Although it is said that good film music doesn’t distract you from what’s going on screen, it is also true that a fitting yet unique music cue can transform a good scene into something special.
