I wrote my first theatrical score at fourteen. Since then, one thing has never changed: my fascination with musical storytelling.
Over the years, I explored many instruments and genres, including piano, electric guitar and electronic music. Ultimately, everything led me back to what feels like home: orchestral music.
I studied film composition at the Zurich University of the Arts, where I focused on orchestration, dramatic structure and conducting. Masterclasses with Alexandre Desplat, Hans Zimmer, Don Davis and others helped shape my artistic voice without ever replacing it.
Today, I compose orchestral scores that combine emotional clarity, long-form dramaturgy and a distinctly personal sound.
My work spans feature films, documentaries and concert music, always driven by the same intention: to serve the story with honesty and depth.
I am also co-founder of the label sàd-records.

David is a composer who finds his own language for each film.
In each of his works there is a surprising idea that binds the viewer/listener emotionally to the film.
In addition, in David's work you can also feel his closeness to songwriting, which gives his scores a strong melodic quality.
