ABOUT
„Über Musik zu sprechen ist wie ein erzähltes Mittagessen.“
“Talking about music is like talking about lunch.”
—Franz Grillparzer
In the realm of cinema, a single melodic or harmonic phrase can capture what pages of dialogue cannot—the magic atmosphere of a romantic encounter, the distinctive vibe of a city, the tragic beauty of evanescence.
This is the extraordinary power of film music, and it has captivated me both as a devoted listener and as a hobby composer.
My musical inspiration draws from the masters who understood this alchemy: Miklós Rózsa's epic grandeur in “El Cid”, Bernard Herrmann's psychological intensity in “Taxi Driver” and his eerie elegance in “The Twilight Zone,” John Barry's sophisticated tension in “The Ipcress File,” Lalo Schifrin's innovative rhythmic landscapes in “Bullitt,” and Jerry Goldsmith's masterful restraint in “Chinatown.”
These composers didn't just write music for films—they created emotional landscapes that continue to resonate far beyond the cinema.
