About Me

I am a composer, producer and DJ who is interested in many types of music and the various ways it can be created. I started out as trumpet player, then moved to electronic music and DJ'n. After that I expanded into experimental and electro-acoustic music. Lately I've been writing ensemble music as well. My first true love is still with electronic music though.


I work solo and also as part of a trio called Electrocab . As the site says, "Electrocab is a trio of composer/performers who combine electronic art music and subversive pop into one strange beast." Kind of says it all. It's fun working with Carmen & Courtney , Electrocab lets me explore another kind of music.
