sport projects

Free Solo

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.

Expedition Antarctica

In January 2009 I scored a project for Timeline Production & Adidas about the famous climbing brothers Huber Buam in Antarctica, who managed a first ascent of the Holtanna West Face and the West Pillar of the Ulvetanna, one of the most difficult mountains in the world…
Matching the size of the enormous granite rock face they scaled, we developed an intense and massive soundtrack full of percussion and cinematic sound effects. Please check out the entire project on freecaster.tv in english and german.

Ueli Gegenschatz

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.

Einheit

Einheit is a personal project of mine with a battle between a real life break-dancer and a 3D abstract form in mind.

In addition to creating the music and sound design I also wrote, directed and edited the piece. Please visit the project page to get more information on the theory behind Einheit and a Dolby surround 5.1 mixed version.

Addicted to

Addicted to is a web page dedicated to the fascination of mountaineering, especially backcountry skiing in Austria.  Since I love backcountry skiing myself, I really could get into this project and the taste of snow!

I tried to capture the spirit and magic of this beautiful sport with soft guitar drones and on-location sound fx. I also did the graphics for this one.
