Part of an unfinished project.  Music Composed by myself and the piano is being played by my friend Julian Hedenborg.

Piano Prelude: Maus und Eule

A short little piece I composed based off of the Baroque Suites and contrapuntal methods of Bach, with some tonal influence from Vivaldi.  Recorded by myself and performed by Raphael and Karina Ille.

Baroque Gigue for 2 Violins

A Piano Suite I wrote in late 2016, which is somewhat influenced by Japanese folk music.  A special thanks to Yunus Hermann for recording and performing the piece.

1. Prelude

A Larger Sonata I wrote for pianos part of a concert of my works in 2017.  I gathered many of the motifs of the first and fourth movement of this work in an apartment across the street from a Balkan club.  Every time the door to the bar opened my ears were treated to balkan rhythms and melodies which inspired many of the main motifs of this work.  The rest of the work is an homage to the many sights and sounds of the melting pot that is Vienna. 

A special thanks to my good friend Julian Hedenborg for offering a splendid second performance of this long and technically demanding piece.
And finally a thanks to Klavierhaus G.I. Stingl for supporting and offering me Vienna's beautiful Bank Austria Salon for the premiere and performance of several of my works on the 7th of June 2018.  
Recording: Tonstudio C-Arts; Michael Waldegg and Harald Hajek

Piano Sonata No. 1 in E-Dorian: III. Interludium-Andante + IV. Rondo - Allegro vivo & Retrospect

A short Sonata for Piano written as a farewell to all the composers and styles that have influenced me through the years.  While the first movement wants to eagerly look forward to future potential and different sounds, the following movements take a look back at my stylistic journey and development through the years. 
I may have titled this piece my "Farewell" Sonata; however it is not meant as an adieu to anyone in particular, but rather to my own past.

A special thanks to Yukika Nishida for offering a very satisfying interpretation of this very personal work.

An enormous thanks to Julian Hedenborg who offered me the unique privilege of working with his brothers Wilfried and Bernhard Hedenborg, who are both members of the Vienna Philharmonic.
