I often get commissioned to write music for other musicians and musical (sometimes multi-disciplinary) projects.
Here you will find some examples of recent projects. Feel free to contact me for more information if you are looking for a composer for your project!
Otters & Wizard Hats (video game)
Otters & Wizard Hats is a video game, created by Robbe Hyde, Aušrinė Valionytė, Finian Horrie, Lander Van den Branden and Mikâil Kahya. I composed the music for it. Here are the trailer and some links to the music.
Alimono (String Quartet)
This summer I spent some time in Greece, where I did the complete tuning system workshop with saxophonist Hayden Chisholm. We actually also learnt some Serbian and Greek songs, which inspired me to write this string quartet. It is called “Αλίμονο”, which is an old Greek word that is often used in daily life, but hard to translate. It is often translated as “alas” or “woe”, but the real meaning is more complex. It has a pretty dramatic (δράμα!) side to it, but at the same time it is often used in an ironic way. If you want to know what it means, ask some Greeks, and you will have a conversation for hours!

Valicha
I made an adaptation of traditional Peruvian Andean song “Valicha” for the band Araponga, a band inspired by the Peruvian diva Yma Sumac. Stylistically I blended the styles Exotica, Traditional Peruvian Andean music and jazz.
Valicha was recorded in November 2023 in Wood Studio in Liège.
