As a composer, producer, Multi-instrumentalist & DJ I work with a very broad aspect of music genres and styles. I try focusing on the personality in the music and my search for new musical ideas is driven by my curiosity for a broad aspect of genres and cultures in general. My musical choices are therefore constantly changing. I work fluidly in both the acoustic and electronic sound world.
I have composed and produced music for among others: Superflex, Ljiljana Petkovic Orchestra, EPO, Elektrazz, Wundergrund, The Danish pavilion at the Shanghai World Expo, the Mikael Kvium and Christian Lemmerz movie "The Wake", The Surface Constructors and my own solo projects.
