Music and movement

To me music and motion are irrevocably linked. When I compose or play I see pictures, colors and movement in more or less concrete situations, dependent on the musical context.

I've always been interested in how music can influence and enhance movement in dance, theater and film. Because of this I find great satisfaction in working with musical drama.

To me there is music in all kinds of movement, and it isn't always appropriate to destroy the movement by smothering it with music that is not its own. Maybe that's why silence is such a powerful sound. Precisely because there is music even in the silence of movement.

In the following you can see some visual productions I've been involved in.
