Regular Captivating Bits - now live!


The previously announced „Regular Captivating Bits“ section is now live!
There I post tips, tricks and lots of other things about composition, orchestration, arrangement and many more topics. I quote myself from the announcement: For me, helping each other is an important thing. I believe in learning by doing and I think that you should never stop learning new things. I regularly help people out with quick tips which - according to them - have made their life easier. So why not share all this with you! There are lots of little tips and tricks that can make you a better composer or artist.

I hope you like it. The page will be updated very frequently. You can also subscribe to the RSS feed to stay up-to-date.

Toy Story 3 DVD Review in Nautilus 85

If you like Pixar movies as much as I do, you have probably seen them all a thousand times and have the DVD/BluRay of Toy Story 3 in your collection. If not, you should check out my review of said DVD in the current issue 85 of German Nautilus magazine. Nautilus deals with all things fantasy and is the only monthly German fantasy magazine. I tremdously liked the fiilm. I think it is one of those rare sequels that live up to their predecessor(s). That’s why I am looking forward to Cars 2 this summer. I’m one of the few people who actually liked the first film and I have full confidence in Pixar to make a kick-ass sequel.

You can find it in every book shop, more information on the website of the publisher, Abenteuermedien.

Stay tuned for more reviews and other articles by me there :)

New tutorial up at macProVideo!

Quite often when time is flying, it is necessary to create audio demos from your scores very quickly. You just don’t have the time to do a proper mockup in Logic or Cubase.
I have found combining exports of several notation applications to be a good compromise between speed and quality. See for yourself at macProVideo.com!
