Many awards soon followed and with over twenty symphonic compositions to date, his music has been performed by many prestigious musical organizations. Lampl is also involved in the world of film scoring and has had the opportunity to study with John Williams. As a composer of film music, Lampl's credits include music for multiple Pokemon movies, the Academy award-winning short film Six Miles of Eight Feet, and the Emmy-winning Empty.
