For the "Blind Cover" Competition (August 2025, WeAreTheMusicMakers Discord). The challenge was to pick a song you never heard and write new music to go with the existing lyrics. Listening to the original was only allowed after finishing your own track. I chose the lyrics of "Risk" by "Frente!" to set to my original music.
This cinematic action cue won second place in the WatMM February competition. The prompt was to write a "one minute or shorter" piece, so I decided on a genre that only needs a minute to fully establish a theme.

Winner of the March 2023 competition for the We Are The Music Makers Discord (https://discord.gg/2DubfUB). The competition challenge was to put the track picture into music.
I was playing around on the piano when this came out. I liked it and wanted to develop it, so I arranged it for an orchestral setting. Score can be found here: https://app.box.com/s/gk85rk6rd78wctp75lfb8ptnfc772hub
Collaboration with Lars and Tobi. Probably more of a vehicle to allow for improvisation than any conventional song, but I think it still works quite well.
