Work Medley
some music from current projects, experiments, finished songs and so forth…
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…
Sonnenflug Trailer
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.
Blauboad
degree dissertation time! The two infamous Markuses (Markus Wagner and Markus Wipplinger) asked me to write some music for their stop motion project blaoboad, which is based on a poem by H.C. Artmann – read in a Viennese dialect. The film is a bizarre tale about a roundaboutowner, who collects women under his bedroom floor.
They were looking for some typical Viennese waltzes with an evil twist at the end to underline the morbid poem. For more information about the project, please visit their homepages..
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.
A Quick Guide to New Routines
Another degree dissertation. This time Peter Mayer was in need of music to his stop motion project A Quick Guide to new Routines, in which he tries to find new approaches to creativity.
Since the whole project is animated with a child – like look, we decided to keep the music as simple and happy as possible. Be sure to check out this clip in full screen to get all the HD goodness…
Der Sammler
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 assimply wacky – but in a positive way :)
Harmonicity
The genius behind this amazing homepage and the whole fifth corporate design also likes to do motion graphics from time-to-time. To fit this project i created a rocking piece of music with evil sound fx.
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.
