Picking up the guitar for the first time in 1990, I have been involved in several music projects and bands, in genres ranging from extreme metal and straight out rock, to jazz-styled lounge music and acoustics. In 1995, I got my first home recording setup, starting out with a 4-track tape recorder and Cubase, which led me to my passion for producing and recording sound.
With an education in audio engineering, I have been working with audio for nearly 20 years, mainly live music, as Front-Of-House audio technician, but also recording, mixing and mastering in my own recording studio.

Being a pen-and-paper RPG:er and a fan of computer/video games since the late 80’s, I quickly discovered what impact music can have on a game, its atmosphere and its function. Original soundtracks for films was often used for setting the mood in a pen-and-paper game and as a result, the interest for sequenced orchestral music has always played a small part in my own musical projects. Although, it was not until recently I decided to really dive into orchestration and composition. Signing up for a distance education program in Game Music Production, in 2017, I really started to focus on MIDI-orchestration, composition and arrangements.

Aside from writing, composing and producing music, I work at a local concert and music hall, a place where bands can borrow rehearsal rooms as well as play live concerts on stage. Besides handling the sound at concerts, I help and guide musicians with everything ranging from audio engineering and/or music theory questions to help teaching them how to take care of their gear and instruments.
