about

Hi, I’m Max.

I grew up in the small town of Villach, surrounded by mountains, music, and a bit too much snow. I started out with piano, spent years playing in bands, and eventually found my way into beat production, specifically hip hop.

I’ve always had one foot in the world of cinematic music and the other in gritty hip hop production. I used to rewatch scenes literally dozens of times just to figure out what the music was doing… how it made a scene hit harder, feel deeper, or just… land. That contrast is a big part of what shaped my voice as a composer today.

My style blends the warmth and emotion of traditional orchestration with the punch and detail of modern production. Sometimes that means strings and piano, sometimes analog synths and warped textures, usually a mix of both. I work closely with directors to find what the story really needs and build a sound world around it.

I compose from my home studio in Vienna, always chasing the feeling when music brings a scene to life, when it adds something you can’t quite name, but you feel it. Whether it’s a full film or a 30-second teaser, that’s what I’m after every time.

let’s work together
