Cornel Wilczek
Cornel Wilczek is an Australian award-winning screen composer and music producer driven by experimentation and the search for something new in music. Working with colour and contrast, he combines lush acoustic sources with homemade electronics to build unique sonic worlds for the projects he scores.
His feature film work includes A24's Bring Her Back and Talk to Me, both directed by the Philippou Brothers; Don't Feed the Children, directed by Destry Spielberg; Brandy Hellville & The Cult of Fast Fashion; Cut Snake; These Final Hours (Best Score at Festival International Du Film Fantastique de Gérardmer); The Mule; and Academy Award winner Eva Orner's Bikram for Netflix.
In television, Cornel's credits include the Netflix global hit Clickbait; Apple Cider Vinegar for Netflix; Surviving Ohio State for HBO; Goolagong for the BBC; Stateless and Glitch (both AACTA Award winners for Best Music Score in Television); Offspring; Fires for NBCUniversal; the award-winning children's show Nowhere Boys; and the Australian cult hit The Newsreader. Other recent projects include Surviving Summer for Netflix, Love Me for Hulu, Crazy Fun Park, Bay of Fires, and Fake for Paramount+. Upcoming is the feature Stake Out for the production company Architect.
Under the moniker Qua, Cornel has released four albums and toured the world. He holds a master's degree from RMIT's Media Arts department.
Cornel owns and runs Electric Dreams Studio in South Melbourne, Australia — a high-end, acoustically designed space that facilitates creative development, broadcast composition and mixing, surround for TV and film, and album production.
