about me
Early in his childhood started to play drums, eventually having a course at the Conservatory of Amsterdam with drums as main subject, however being compelled by the filmmusic of John Wiliiams. At my 16th I wrote my first MIDI orchestral track.

In my life I became compelled by a lot of music, in particular filmmusic which I consider to be a seperate art. Gamemusic has the same quality. One of my greatest inspirations is Jeremy Soule who wrote brilliant gamemusic.

On my 30th also got a bachelor degree in Bassguitar (jazz) and currently being a student of Jurre Haanstra doing the Master Programme Composing for Film. Producing a lot of Digital Music, from orchestral to synths or beats, tribal instruments, live instruments etc. Also able to produce pop or jazz ensembles.

Focus lies on producing good, working music for fiction films, computergames, commercials, transitions between intervals in the flow of tv nets, leaders of tv shows, background music for several means.

Background music for internetsite or showreels are also possible.
