The film „Brausepulver“, directed in 2013 by Milan Kappen, under the mentorship of Anke Engelke at the Academy of Media Arts Cologne, was an experimental project: switching from soap opera to drama in 25 minutes.

It starts by describing the superficial life of three mid-twenties consisting of love affairs, self-celebration, partying and drugs. Gradually, it becomes obvious that their self-images are based on lies. One evening, a party ends in a disaster…

I’ve chosen this score as an example, because it captures a variety of styles from pop song to string quartet. (Attention: Some of the original scenes are replaced by a sequence of stills.)

Milan also directed an award-winning music video for my song „Allein“ with the band Amini in 2006. This clip was broadcasted on european tv stations like Arte and 3sat.

On the album „From Seconds to Hours“ I played drums with Peter Schnur and Gernot Kögel and contributed two compositions.

„A Question of Blues“ was song of the week on Radio Swiss Jazz in 2009.  It was also broadcasted on the German radio like SWR and HR.

Besides song and film scores, I compose in a variety of music styles.

One example is from a cycle of minimalistic piano compositions, the other a sound art composition.

For a couple of years I’ve been working with young people. In this example I realized a modern version of the „Anthem of Europe“ with students in the ages between 11 and 15. Comprising a lot of spontaneous and creative ideas by the young musicians, we prepared a live presentation and recorded the song in only two days.

Music education is an amazing addition to my artistical work.
