Introduction

Greetings! I’m Magnus Reichel, a passionate composer dedicated to weaving emotive soundscapes for film and theater. My journey into the world of music composition began in 2007 and has been a thrilling adventure ever since.

Musical Style

My musical style is a dynamic blend of orchestral music and popular music, where big cinematic emotions meet Ballads, Rock or Jazz. I find inspiration in nature and filmmusic, incorporating their essence into my work to create compositions that resonate with diverse audiences.
