What I do

From first cue to final mix

Every project starts with the picture and the brief. You get music written for your edit — not a library search — delivered in the stems and formats your post team actually needs.

01

Original Score

Custom composition for feature film, documentary, short form and games. Orchestral, hybrid or fully electronic, written to picture and timed to your cut.

02

Music for Advertising

Campaign music and arrangements that survive a 30-second slot — including versioning for cutdowns, social edits and international markets.

03

Audio Branding

A recognisable sonic identity for companies, freelancers and creators: sound logo, brand theme and a consistent kit across every touchpoint.

04

Sound Design & Foley

Synthesised textures, designed effects and recorded foley — atmospheres built to sit under dialogue instead of fighting it.

05

Songwriting, Mixing & Recording

Original songs across genres, plus production, recording and mixing — delivered as a finished master or as separated stems.

About

A violinist who writes for picture

Classically trained, conservatory educated, and equally at home in a DAW as in front of an ensemble.

Portrait of composer Florian Knapp

I write music for film, advertising and media — and I have spent over a decade playing violin in an orchestra, which is still how I hear a score before I write a note of it.

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Film Music Composition from ArtEZ Conservatorium. My work has been commissioned by Ludwig & Loehn, Audioforce and Massive Music, and has run in campaigns for Mercedes-Benz, Jaguar, Waitrose, Grazia and Vaillant.

I composed the score for the feature film “Taxi Stories”, and have a long background producing synthesiser music and sound design for bands, dance choreography and music theatre — work that shaped how I build texture and atmosphere under a scene.

Projects run from a single cue to a full score. If you have picture, a brief, or only a feeling you are chasing, that is enough to start a conversation.
