My main genre is film music. Apart from that I also make progressive trance and similar electronic music.All my music is set to some stories and the music itself often tells the story, so make sure you read the "lyrics" where I have put the descriptions. Even if a piece is not made for actual movie scenes, I make up stories before I make my music.
I have been involved in a few little projects here and there for independent short films, animations and games. I am still trying to get into the business and join some real commercial projects. At the moment most of my music is made for demo purposes.
A short history:
Back in the early days, I was active in the Yamaha XG midi scene. I started by making remakes of Commodore 64 game music. My Last Ninja collection in particular gathered many fans.
Later I was part of the legendary group Cryogenic Emotions. We made lots of collaborations, mixing many unique styles. After many years of good friendship the group drifted apart and finally I was the only one left and then I decided it was time to finish that era.
I then joined the group X-Static, with which I had been collaborating before too. This group was mainly focused on making techno-ish, breakbeat, jungle etc music, while I was getting more and more focused on orchestral symphonic pieces.
As time went by, the Yamaha XG standard became more and more outdated by new synths, and finally samplers and virtual instruments. I started my own projects and work mainly with film and game music.
