Played violin from he was 6 until 14, then guitar and synthesizers. Started composing for radio (fantasy stories, radio plays, jingles, illustration music) in 1987 and for television (documentaries, vignettes, art programs) in 1994. Wanting to compose and create music as free as possible, He reduced the amount of music composing for media and began concentrating on developing his own, unique music and release it on CD in 2007.Have you performed in front of an audience?Now and then, with artist friends.

The loudness war: Do you know this expression? If not, I am sure you know that more and more commercial CD's sound too LOUD! It's ok when the sound has power and presence, but not when the sound is flat and overcompressed and pumping and distorted and ugly. So many great bands and artists have become victims of the loudness war or loudness race that the big record labels fight against each other. Support the idea of dynamics and great sound on CD's, and complain to the record companies when you purchas a CD with bad sound!ERElectronicaAmbient

Was lead here from Alexander Port, and I have to say that it was a really good hint!! ;)
Listened to your "Harmony", short but perfect, spectacular good, ....everything is melting into a single sound (imho)! I was impressed of the unity of all the instruments involved: this is Harmony.
