born in 1980 in Vienna, he studied electroacoustic composition with Dieter Kaufmann and Gérman Toro-Pérez, lm and media composition with Klaus-Peter Sattler, and piano with Christiane Karajeva at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna. He continued his studies at a postgraduate course at the Conservatoire of Amsterdam as well as at the University of Graz with Alexander Stankovski and Beat Furrer. 

His music reflects aspects of our media society, a dense accumulation and mashup from everyday life’s trash sounds to a flittering–colourful and hyper-heterogenic sound flood, a comic-like, grotesque distortion of clichéd musical gestures performed with an ironic ambivalence, aiming for a culture-liberated art brut (outsider art) in music. 

His works have received awards in the Gaudeamus Music Week in Amsterdam (1st Prize, Project Young Composers, 2009), Impuls International Composition Competition in Graz (2013), SKE Austro Mechana (2013), as well as the Förderungspreis of the City of Vienna (2014), Kompositionspreis der Landeshauptstadt Stuttgart (2020), and Erste Bank Kompositionspreis of Wien Modern / Klangforum Wien (2020). He has worked closely with ensembles such as Nadar, Decoder, Klangforum Wien, Ensemble Phace, Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra, ensemble mosaik, and Talea. In 2015 he received a scholarship from the Akademie der Künste in Berlin. He is the founder of Black Page Orchestra as well as one of the initiators and organisers of Unsafe+Sounds Festival in Vienna.
