Excited to announce that "Newport: In This Together", a documentary by award-winning director @suesipprelle about how the people of Newport, RI pulled together during the pandemic and rediscovered their resilience, community bonds and hope, will be available on pbs.org beginning May 1st and air on @rhodeislandpbs on May 5, 7 and 10. I had the honor and pleasure to compose the music for this project alongside @joelgoodmanmusic . A film with a truly inspiring message about how humans can find solidarity and come together in times of crisis, while finding innovative ways to face their challenges.

A few months ago I was interviewed by German radio broadcaster "Die Neue 107.7" for their podcast "Mein bester Tag". If you want to learn more about my work and life as a film composer in L.A. (and if you understand German... 😉) you can now find it on Spotify. #filmcomposer #composerlife #losangeles #hollywood #podcast #interview #dieneue1077

"Der Nahe Osten zwischen Krieg und Frieden" ("The Middle East Between War and Peace"), a documentary I scored a few months ago, will air Tuesday next week on French-German TV broadcaster Arte. As always it's been an honor and pleasure to work with @thomasaders and @joa_swr on this thorough and gripping film about the current political shifts in the Middle East. Also it was fascinating to explore some of the rich musical traditions of that region and try to hint at them in my score. #documentary #filmmusic #filmscore #composer #arte #tv

Dolby Atmos screening of my music for the new cinematic logo of @birchallentertainment at Deluxe, Hollywood with @joachimzell . Atmos mix provided by @weethewalrus . Coming to a theater near you soon! #dolbyatmos #mixing #filmscoring

Just released a little EP with music that I wrote for the short film "Timewalker" earlier this year, directed by @nord.jeff . You'll find it on Spotify, Soundcloud and all the others. This was a fun project in a style that I enjoy quite a bit... #scifi #timetravel #ambient #electronic #hybrid #synth #filmscore #filmmusic

Pre-Oscar party with cast and crew from "All Quiet on the Western Front", including director Edward Berger and composer (and now Academy Award winner for Best Score!) Volker Bertelmann. Even the weather was German... 🌧 hence the tent. #oscars #academyawards #hollywood #bestinternationalfeaturefilm #bestscore #allquietonthewesternfront @allquietmovie #imwestennichtsneues

The documentary "Kampf ums Klima" ("Fight for the Climate") which I had the honor to write the music for will air tonight on German TV (ARD). Shoutouts to the amazing @thomasaders @nick.schader @marcombuettner - it's been a pleasure working with you guys on such an important and revelatory film! . . . #documentary #tv #television #german #germany #climatechange #climatechangeisreal #climatechangedenial #filmmusic #composer

Happy to learn that my epic orchestral hip-hop track "Armed And Dangerous" (released on the album "Renegades" by @icontrailermusic ) was used in an Honest Trailer for "The Book of Boba Fett". 🤣 In the Youtube clip my track starts at around 5:20. You can also listen to the full track on Spotify. #thebookofbobafett #bookofbobafett #starwars #honesttrailers #epicmusic #epictrailermusic

Still mindblown after seeing "Everything Everywhere All at Once" this morning, including Q&A with directors Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert as well as actors Michelle Yeoh, Stephanie Hsu and Harry Shum Jr. Fantastic movie (fantastic score as well)!

New speakers. 😍

Found out by accident that my track "Do Your Own Dance" got used in the Emmy Awards show to introduce the nominations for Directing for a Comedy Series. 🎶 https://youtu.be/xjGtorrOqds?t=12
