1.	Apocalypse	'Apocalypse' is my best composition up to date. It is a dramatic and powerful piece full of energy, melody, different motives and the sound is really good.
2.	Alamo	Background music for a show called 'Night of Magic'. I spent four weeks working on this and tried to make it sound as good as possible. The result is a very powerful composition with orchestra and electric guitars.
3.	Distant Universe	Written for a German game-magazine cd-rom, it is supposed to be a mixture between Action/Dance/Orchestral. Sounds completely different from my other compositions.
4.	Endless Horizon	Beautiful and idyllic mood, sounds rather like a piece of movie music.
5.	Twilight Mysteries	Main theme of the mystery/science fiction series "Twilight Mysteries" produced by Erik Albrodt. The narrator in the theme is Klaus Sonnenschein, a famous German voice actor.
6.	Indigo	This composition sounds rather like background music for a movie than for a game. I tried to create an ambient and atmospheric sounding tune.
7.	In Your Eyes feat.Elisha In Your Eyes feat. Christi	My first attempt at composing a pop ballad. There are two versions with different singers online.. Lyrics: Joe Givens - Vocals (Version 1): Christi - Vocals (Version 2): Elisha Bagenstose
8.	Arrival of the King	Rumors are going on about the king returning to his kingdom from a fierce battle. The nation waiting for his arrival, excited, worried, when he shows up, leading his troops back home after having prevailed over the enemy.
9.	Azure Cosmos	My second experiment with my new samples.
10.	Hope (Heavenly) Vocal Version	An orchestral version of my classic composition "Hope". The second link is a recording with vocals written and performed by singer and songwriter 'David Clark'.
