About Me

MyGen Profile Generator My relationship with music has been a long and multi-faceted one. First, beginning at the age of 6, there was a classical training as a pianist, then, at the age of 13, I have discovered the guitar and through it came into the underground and rock music world, with which I was associated for many years. One of the biggest projects of that time was my indie rock group Charade (Copenhagen, Denmark), for which I wrote songs, sang and played guitar.
Until I realized that this is not enough for me and came back to classics, doing piano and composition. Meanwhile there were heavy studies in musicology, composing and producing music for theatre shows, playing in different performing groups, assistance work in studio production, and recording and producing chamber and acoustic classical ensembles. All this, logically, focused into composing and producing music and recently I have begun to write for films.
I dream and work on combining classical, rhythmic and ethno paradigms in my own unique compositional style. Check out this video: Villeneuve

"Notes on energies, magic and a period of transition from Classicism to Romanticism".

Forty one year separate Mozart's G-minor and Schubert's C-major quintets (1787-1828). We could specify: forty one year and one Beethoven. The latter statement would make sharper the imaginary line, wh...
