Where you spend your time more, nature or urban places?

Even though I’m a city child, I would be extremely happy if I could live and create surrounded by nature. A completely Wi-Fi-enabled house on the edge of a forest could be my paradise...

Do you want to tell us few thoughts about the new media?

New Media is my open window and my most powerful tool. It’s my way to learn, to create, to educate, to communicate, to share, to give, to promote.

What it would be your favorite participation with the film industry?

I’m devoted to these three parts: The love for films and film music, the love for silent films and the continuοus research and promotion of interesting avant-garde music. Trying to combine those three elements, I’m lately mesmerized by silent films and the idea of creating a audiovisual result that you couldn’t have heard back in the silent era. I’m a music compiler concerned in creating a kind of overall musical sound world for each film, rather than playing music that audiences will think was composed in the film’s era. For each scene, I select music that I feel supports the film, that enhances the emotion. I’m looking to make a consistent sound across the film, so I’m selecting music from widely different genres.

Would you share with us a secret?

I’m organising big and secret plans for the domination of film music! Soon to be revealed!
