When you visit a forum, talk to other sound guys or read interviews of famous composers, it is most, if not all the time about musical approaches, gear, instruments, plugins, synths and sample libraries. Well, of course this is really the most interesting thing since it is about the way one composes and creates music, … but for now I will take...

Enjoy the official cinematic trailer of the adventure game “Secret Files 2 - Puritas Cordis” by Deep Silver, which I have been able to provide music for.   You will also be able to see this trailer at your local (german) theater right before the movie “Illuminati”, starring Tom Hanks (original: “Angels & Demons”)...

I simply wanted to say thanks to everyone for visiting my “Herophobia” video on YouTube. Of course there are videos around on that platform which have up to a million hits and more, but hey … we are talking about a small little tiny samplelibrary demo video.

Recently the official soundtrack for EA’s Realtime Strategy Game “Battleforge” was released on EA Trax.   The soundtrack of Battleforge was written by the whole team of Dynamedion, whereas my main task was to compose the music for the powers of Shadow which is one playable fraction besides the other three - Fire, Frost and Nature.   So...

Since I receive a lot of emails from people asking me what the best thing would be to start as a composer, I decided to write a little bit about that topic.   But before I start, I should maybe mention, that you hardly won’t find any phone number, email address nor any other contact info in this post which will directly lead you to a well...

Finally something new to listen to :)   Yesterday I finished my first official demo (guess what, more coming soon!) for Quantum Leap’s new ethnic library “Silk”. I don’t want to say much, but just that I simply can’t stop playing this fine instrument. The sound is pristine, crystal clear and all the instruments from...

There might be times you simply want to convert a certain MIDI command coming from your MIDI controller (keyboard, breath controller etc.) into another one.   Huh? … uhm … and why would I need that?   Well, here is an example: With some knobs, faders or wheels we can work better than with others and everybody has it’s own...
