Recently, I had the pleasure of talking about my work as a film composer with the NDR.
The interview features two to me very important scores I have worked on this year:
"The Shark with a Thousand Names" by THE JETLAGGED. The film premiered this year at the International Ocean Film Festival in San Francisco.
And "Wings of Dust" by Giorgio Ghiotto - which just won a Student Academy Award.
