Cornel Wilczek

Cornel Wilczek isn’t your run-of-the-mill composer. The guy’s basically a sonic mad scientist, always poking at the edges of what music can actually be. Forget about just churning out the same tired tunes—he’s obsessed with shaking things up, mashing lush acoustic sounds right up against his own hand-built electronics. You can almost hear him thinking, “What if I just flip the script entirely?” And man, it works. You end up somewhere you didn’t even know music could take you, some wild audio landscape built from scratch. He’s not doing this stuff in some dingy garage, either. Cornel’s the mastermind behind Electric Dreams Studio down in Melbourne. We're talking top-tier, totally tricked-out, acoustically tuned space—the kind of spot where you walk in and instantly feel like creativity just got a caffeine boost. That place isn’t just him noodling around either. It’s packed with producers, composers, sound-designers, and engineers—basically, the Avengers of sound. They’re mixing, composing, building worlds for TV, film, and whatever else needs an audio identity that actually pops. Cornel’s no amateur, either. Dude went deep—grabbed himself a Master’s in Sound Art from RMIT back in 2007. So yeah, he’s got the brainpower and the weird, wonderful imagination to back it all up. He’s racked up awards doing this, and honestly, he’s the kind of artist who keeps you guessing. One minute it’s a delicate acoustic thing, the next it’s a glitchy wall of sound. Never boring, always bold.
