.about

- studies composition at the Faculty of Music of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague in the class of Luboš Mrkvička, Michal Rataj and (Hanuš Bartoň 2017-2019), he participated in the Erasmus exchange program at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater "Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy" in Leipzig, in the class of Fabien Lévy and electro-acoustic music with Prof. Ipke Starke.  He studied at the Conservatory in Bratislava with Peter Martinček, then composition in the class of Vladimír Bokes (2013-2017) and conducting with Juraj Jartim (2015-2017), with the Czech conductor Hynek Farkač at the Jaroslav Ježek Conservatory (2018-2020).

.his current compositional work is based on the pillars of analysis and various transformations of sound recordings, the result of which serves as an inspirational cohesive material in various elements. The result of the analysis is combined at various points in the traditional composition. (instrumentation, a combination of instruments, chordal timing, etc.). The formal aspect is the simultaneous combination of several harmonic layers and their implementation over time. In his work, we hear a summary of avant-garde information from the second half of the twentieth century, a post-Webern tradition, and also inspiration from spectral music. An integral part of his work is the use of advanced tool techniques and their hierarchization in the compositional process.

- He's currently a student of orchestral conducting at the Academy of Performing Arts in Bratislava (Marián Lejava, Ondrej Šaray). - 

.since 2020, he has led the student ensemble Ensemble Terrible, with whom he premiered his chamber opera finitika, a chamber opera about the end of human evolution.
