Ouverture for We Classic – The King of Pop

2026 begins with an exciting highlight:
I was commissioned to compose the ouverture for two concert nights at the renowned KKL Lucerne as part of the project We Classic – The King of Pop.

The production brings together more than 200 musicians on stage and promises a powerful and unforgettable concert experience!
I’m truly honored to be part of this extraordinary project and very much looking forward to the performances!

Here's a link to preview the event.

A Story Buried in Time, 2024

This beautiful short clip was made by Yalqa Fadhila, a student from the Telkom University. I'm very happy that Yal discovered my work and asked me to do the music for this introduction to their project about Fukushima.

Here is the description of the creator:
"This animation reflected my feelings when i visited Fukushima, it's a lonesome yet heartwarming feeling. The people there actively tries to rebuild the community even if they're mostly old people. So i made this to honour their hard work, and to gather attention at their situation as well as the exhibition."

3rd Place Ryan Leach Composing Competition November 2024

In my second participation in a Ryan Leach Composing Competition this year, I made it to the finals again!
And my composition "Teacher of Ubuntu" was awarded with the 3rd place!
Thanks to Ryan's team once again to makeing this possible for us! 

This one had to be composed for a certain instrumentation of the filmscoring orchestra Cinemagic Scoring, based in South Africa and led by the conductor Gavin Potter. It had all to be done within Musescore, a regular notation software. So no fancy DAW tweaking! :)
If anyone is interested in the score, I'm happy to share it!

The composition had to be created based on the beautiful artwork "mountain" by Ngan Pham!
