BETWEEN IMAGE AND SOUND

I'm Maximilian, a German composer working at the meeting point of cinematic depth and electronic precision. Self-taught, with roots in hip-hop and electronic production, I came to composition through rhythm before learning piano, guitar, and orchestral writing. My perspective is shaped by years as a creative director in visual communication. I treat a score not as accompaniment but as the unseen half of an image — the emotional weight that makes a moment land.

Close-up of concentric grooves curving across the frame in black and white, evoking the form of recorded sound.

A sound, like a shape, is something built. Coming from years in visual communication and creative direction, Maximilian Wenzel approaches composition with the same rigor a designer brings to form — every layer chosen, every silence considered, every sound placed in service of the whole. Music written for image and moment must do more than be heard. It must be designed.
