Cornel Wilczek

Cornel Wilczek is an Australian composer, producer, and electronic musician known for his atmospheric, genre-blurring scores for film and TV. Based in Melbourne, he’s carved out a niche crafting moody, synth-driven soundtracks for projects like the ABC series *Nowhere Boys* and its spinoff *True Defender*, blending electronic textures with orchestral elements to heighten drama. Beyond screen work, he’s also one-half of the experimental electronic duo Qua and founded the boutique music house Compound Interest, where he collaborates on commercial projects.
