Alexander Huber, most famous for his bold free ascents of big walls, tells his own tale about free soloing, fear, risk, death and motivation.

Timeline Productions asked me to create a score, which fits the dangerous nature of this sport. I chose the unique sound of the Hang Drum to be the main instruments – accompanied by various types of Rock and Beat–Driven music.

Christian Schall is currently engaged in a film project called Sonnenflug (The Flight of the sun). In it, he is exploring the boundaries between documentary and feature film. Working with Christian is an adventurous ride and always a pleasure as he constantly looks to interweave unusual musical approaches into his work.

The trailer for this project, which is more of a short movie, includes large portions of black screen, typically a faux pas, but through his creative approach he has successfully brought the whole concept to reality. Admittedly, I had a difficult time coming up with an adequate musical score, but now finished: I am extremely pleased with the result.

In this project I worked with one of the most outstanding athletes in extreme sports: Ueli Gegenschatz – base jumper, skydiver, paraglider, mountaineer and lecturer.

Red Bull decided to do a documentary about this guy who sells insurances when he’s not jumping from a skyscraper! The film will be also screened onboard on Swiss Air. I did some additional scoring for this project.

Der Sammler (The Collector) is a full length documentary about a collector who owns a lot of stuff, which most of us would consider as trash. But this kind, old-fashioned man lives in another world with a different opinion about the high-tech and high-speed capitalistic world in which we live. He’s currently building now a museum to convince the youth about the value of old things.

To support this unique character musically, I used a bassson as the main instrument, which I would describe as simply wacky – but in a positive way :)
