Last Xmas was the time for presents and also the end of the year, of course. And time to relax and to look back on FOUR YEARS of my channel!

My friends, it's time to thank you for all the love and support on this channel. 1K subscribers - that’s amazing! Time for me to give something back to you: So I've come up with a little musical riddle - solve it and WIN!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

2019
This channel started 4 years ago with a present I gave myself for Christmas: the BBC Symphony Orchestra Library from    / @spitfireaudiollp  . A long-cherished dream come true: to conduct my own orchestra! #oneorchestra

2020
In early 2020, I took on the Westworld Scoring Competition and produced a short series about it. Your great feedback was a gift. Another gift was TheCueTube, the new platform for composers, which has enriched my channel in many ways. Thank you, Brian, for your work, your competitions and the wonderful community.

The corona year 2020 has left many people feeling lonely. With our musical xmas calendar, we - everyone from home - have set a musical sign of solidarity and love.

2021
In my entry to the charming Spring film scoring contest I had hidden a little riddle. It was discovered by Elena Konovalova, a Ukrainian pianist. I had the great pleasure and honor of turning her piano piece "The Space of my dreams" into an orchestral work and did a documentary of this. Ukraine is going through difficult times. It would be great if you could visit Elena's page and write her and her loved ones a few kind words:    • Elena Konovalova The space of my dreams  
Another gift was the collaboration with the extraordinary singer-songwriter Jane Kumada aka OLO.
Visit her and listen to her songs on YouTube and Spotify:    / @janekumada

2022
Thanks to TheCueTube again, another exciting composer competition followed - in which life-threatening mushrooms played a deadly role.
Also, a gift was Thomas Scherer, an aspiring German filmmaker. He discovered me on YouTube and hired me as a film composer for an enchanting documentary and a whole series of exciting films. This led to a great collaboration with a wonderful film crew and nice actors. I would particularly like to mention actor and singer Hanno Friedrich, who is now a regular guest in my studio. We always have a lot of fun see    • SHIT SHOT 🕶️ Music Video   Feel free to visit Thomas and Hanno on Insta:   / wp_films     / hanno.friedrich  

2023
In spring I published my new IONIC book. I organized a small composer competition for this and received great trailers for marketing the book. Thank you, my dear composer friends for participating!
In summer, I sent my orchestra on vacation and wrote a relaxed pop song with tropical vibes. With a wink, I pitched it as a “summer hit”. And somehow it actually turned out to BE one. Crazy!
