I let the film speak and search for edgy expression with minimal effort. I like to communicate with the director. And let the music be an independent element. I like writing melodies with unusual harmonies. And mix orchestra with electronic sounds. Graduation in classical piano performance (Conservatory Basel and Lugano), classical composition and film scoring (Berklee College of Music). Studies in Jazz.
