I write music for media: film scoring, TV, games, commercials, and more. I write electronic music and pieces for a full orchestra. In some of my recordings, you can hear me singing: I have a significant background as a vocalist and a vocal coach. But most of all, I love telling stories with music. If you have a story to tell, email me and let’s talk about it: mail@nptn.de.
