About
I’m Markus Wormstorm, a composer, producer and writer based in LA and Cape Town. I create cinematic scores, electronic textures and experimental sound design for film, television and global campaigns, collaborating with a network of hundreds of artists.
From Star Wars and Netflix projects to brand campaigns for Starbucks, Millers and Santam, I blend orchestral and electronic languages to tell stories through sound. I also founded Biblo.tv, an African sync library, and I’m passionate about music supervision and helping other artists realize their creative visions.
