Lorenz Dangel

Lorenz Dangel, born in Würzburg, Germany, isn’t just a name that pops up in the end credits and then fades away. He’s the guy who sneaks into your head with a melody and just sets up camp there. His career? All over the map—film scores, classical pieces, music for theater and dance; the man’s got range. He’s the genius behind the soundtracks for movies like Lykke Per (2018), Tides (2021), and the heavy-hitting Dying (2024). If you’ve ever been sucker-punched by the emotions in those films, well, you can thank Dangel’s music for that. But wait, he’s not just hiding in a studio somewhere, hunched over a keyboard. Nope. Dangel also steps up as a conductor, leading orchestras through those complicated, hair-raising scores for film productions. It’s not just about writing the notes, it’s about breathing life into them with a whole team of top-tier musicians. You can almost picture him at the front—baton waving, lost in the sound, making sure every cue hits right where it hurts (or heals). His style? Kind of hard to pin down, honestly. There’s this boldness, this willingness to twist genres together, shifting between sweeping drama and quiet, aching moments. It’s not just background noise—it’s storytelling, pure and simple. Dangel’s music lingers long after the credits have rolled, and if you’re lucky, it’ll haunt you in the best way possible.
