As a composer, producer and musician I have cooperated in a variety of projects and bands - local and international.
I have delivered music to danish and norweigan underground movies, danish underground theatre, along with orchestral arrangements to producers in Los Angelos (US) and Montreuil (CA) for some different symphonic industrial/metal projects.
At the moment I spend every hour/day on the futuristic-symphonic industrial project Sleep No More, with an incredible female vocal. We've had a few concerts and our demo is almost done.. Next stop Berlin! zzznomore.com
Besides this - when time is - I cooperate with a handfull of guitarists, writers and singers in a couple of metal/industrial projects.
Every act done is with the darkest chocolate in my mouth!
At the moment I am working on expanding my portfolio. Therefore, if you find my music interesting, and find a cooperative possible, don't hesitate to contact me :-)
Best Regards.

Favourite music and inspiration:
Soundtracks: Requiem For A Dream, My Downfall, Das Boot, Der Krieger Und Die Kaiserin, Pirates Of The Caribbean, Slumdog Millionaire, Matrix, Angels and Demons, Star Wars, and much more.. I just love a great Hollywood score with a twist. Original soundtracks often touches me and I love to walk around playing Im in the movie :-)
Artists and bands: Rammstein, Queen, Muse, The Prodigy, Aphex Twin, Björk, Marilyn Manson, Michael Jackson, Korn, Nine Inch Nails, Mindless Self Indulgence, Kraftwerk, Chick Corea, Opeth, Dimmu Borgir, Tangerine Dream, Infected Mushroom, Frank Zappa.... Just to mention a fraction.
Classical composers: Bach, Stravinskij, Penderecki, Verdi, Orff, Grieg, Strauss, Nielsen, Shostakovich, Vivaldi...... My favourite genres is requiems, passions and operas..
Movies: I am terrible at remembering names of the movies.. Most movies makes deep impressions and leaves feelings and thoughts for later use.. Or just good entertainment in the moment.. Gran Torino, The Wall, Children Of Men, Lost Highway, Babel, Koyaanisqatsi, Slumdog Millionaire, You, Me And Everyone We Know, Die Blechtrommel, The Dark Knight, Memento, Battle Royale, Blood Diamond, Matrix I, Lion King, Fantasia 2000, Hellsing(Alucard), Fantastic Planet, A.I., Clockwork Orange, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, The Shining....
Art.. Especially abstract art such as Dali, biomechanic style like Geiger's and gothic pictures such as Luis Royo. Alexander Rodin is a fav at the moment, after an exhibition in Tacheles, Berlin.
Books.. I love to read, but never got the time for it.. Perfume: The Story Of A Murderer, Crime and Punishment, Doppler, The Wind-up Bird Chronicle....
The News, science and history.. No words for the beauty and grotesque of our world and human nature.. Love and war.. The beauty and magnificence of Verdi's requiem contra the cruelty of the fact that one billion people starves.... Don't know if it makes sense, the clockwork has ticked too many times once again.....
Most of my international musical cooperations is started through Myspace.. But I do agree on the statement that people's comments in here are more legitimate.. Tons of spam comments on myspace....
However, I hope to see some of you in there ;)

I heard, that Finale could be used with East-West samples? I heard that it should detect legato, forte, piano and so on and make the switches itself.. Im not sure, but might be worth checking out, if you're regretting your purchase ;)
I myself do...
Hi Alex. You seem like a man I need to know (very tech savvy). I've got four new pieces, and as soon as I figure out how to work all my new hardware and software (at least a little) I'll post them. Do you ever use virtual instruments for the lead guitar with overdrive? I know VSL has several, but I'm taking technical baby steps right now. :-)
I enjoyed imaginary war. Sounds like a piece for epic film. ImpoRebus is musical caffeine (makes me jumpy). I hope we get a chance to share info at some point. Welcome!
