- About Me (Must include at least one paragraph of biographical information about you as a composer) - blank or minimal answers on this line will cause your request to be rejected. Include a link to your website if you have one.
- I've been pursuing music professionally for about 8 years, and have been working at breaking into film/tv composition for about 4 years. I've composed music for award winning films, tv pilots, and multimedia, and to date, have scored nearly 30 productions. As a recording artist, I have 3 independent releases, and another effort in the works. I work as a musician and producer to artists and appear on recordings as a guitarist, co-writer, and performer, most notably with Juno Award nominee Eternia.
Although born in Canada, I grew up in a family of professional classical musicians in Germany, where my father still plays French horn in the Wuppertal symphony orchestra. I studied classical guitar and music theory, and am self-taught in various other instruments.
I hold an honors diploma in Fine Art, and am a big fan of visual art and design. My passionate hobby is martial arts training - I've been studying Karate for over 6 years and hold a 2nd degree black belt in Shotokan Karate, and have recently discovered the joys of coaching.

More than knowledge of music, talent, or ability on an instrument, very important is your ability to effectively communicate with the director, and your ability to analyze, understand, and translate their vision and story into musical ideas which work to picture.

Sound for Theatre
Posted on September 11, 2008 at 12:23pm 4 Comments 0 Likes
After completing my mentorship last year, I started looking into ways to broaden the spectrum of the kinds of projects I was a part of. I began networking with people working in the video games industry, and also put some energy into seeing if I could become involved in doing sound/music for theater. The scene in Toronto is excellent, with a lot of bigger theaters like Tarragon and Soulpepper putting out excellent and challenging material every year. In January, I got hired to do sound design… Continue

Live Orchestral Session!

Last Wednesday, I had a cue recorded to picture at CBC studios, on the wonderful sounding Glenn Gould stage. It was captured by a number of hall and surround mics, as well as close mics, and it was multitracked through a NEVE 'VR' Legend Console to Protools. The ca. 25 piece orchestra was made up of the advanced students of the Royal Conservatory's Glenn Gould program, and they played beautifully. Seeing musicians expressively play through music they've only just seen for the first time 5… Continue

Thanks, glad you enjoyed the new tracks. All the stuff - the orchestration/editing/mixing/mastering is me - I have to answer for all of it. :) A good engineer is something I am currently on the hunt for (along with a good entertainment lawyer) - I spend a lot of time editing midi, mixing, etc, which I could pass off in favor of spending more time composing. While I really enjoy those aspects, I do have a bit of a case of 'do-it-all-itis', plus a good second set of ears is invaluable.
There is talent in TO but I just can't afford it
Cheers
Yes,this is a cool place to be,great people so far
