Specialising in TV and documentary film music, he has composed for BBC, CBS, ZDF, ORF, Discovery Channel, Arte and RAI TV series. He has also been composed to write official songs and music for sport and media opening ceremonies, including the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin and the official song for the EHF's Champions League.[3]

Education

He received violin lessons from the age of three and was invited to the Yehudi Menuhin School by Menuhin himself aged five. He was considered a child prodigy and performed in Vienna, London, Prague and Athens during his childhood. Thanks to a Zakhar Bron grant he studied for a year at the Musikhochschule Lübeck before moving in 1991 to the Universität für Musik und darstellende Kunst Wien, where he was taught by Jewgenia Tschugajewa. He continued his studies at the Mozarteum and under Tibor Varga at the Musikhochschule Graz.[1] In 2004 he took a course in film-music at the Film Music Institute Los Angeles.
