About

Tomek Günzel is a composer and sound designer who works on the intersection of classical film scoring and modern textural sound design. His process is rooted in exploration: reshaping acoustic sources, merging classical instrumentation with modern textural approaches, and crafting hybrid musical landscapes that sit between score and sound design. The result is atmospheric, emotionally driven work with a distinctive sense of depth and character.

With a background in audio engineering and experience as a mixing engineer, Tomek approaches composition through both musicality and detailed sound craft. His work spans fiction, documentary and commercial projects, creating cinematic worlds through texture, space and tone. He collaborates closely with directors and agencies to develop a sound that strengthens narrative and identity.

Driven by an ongoing curiosity for sound, Tomek draws inspiration from real-world materials, field recordings and everyday environments.

Kracht van Onze Handen (2024)

Directed by Onur Can Tepe · Produced by Sonodocs

Original Score: Tomek Günzel

This 50-minute documentary explores Tetterode, the former squatted complex in Amsterdam-West that became a self-governed home for artists and creative entrepreneurs. Once a symbol of the turbulent 1980s, its community now faces a new challenge: growing real estate pressure and the question of whether a new generation can secure its future.

Premiered at Architecture Film Festival Rotterdam

For Kracht van Onze Handen I set out to reflect the unique spirit of each individual portrayed in the film. Every subject carries their own history, energy, and artistic language, and I wanted the score to mirror that diversity. This led to a wide musical spectrum, from meditative ambient textures to bursts of punk, from intimate jazz lines to classical-inspired passages.

Rather than existing as separate pieces, these cues are interwoven throughout the documentary, creating a dialogue between contrasting worlds. The aim was to let the music echo the character of the community itself: eclectic, layered, sometimes conflicting, yet ultimately connected by a shared story.

Verhullen (2025)

Directed by Jesse Plum · Produced by In Orbit

Original Score: Tomek Günzel & JEANS

Verhullen offers an intimate portrait of The Hague-based artist Gino van Dam (JEANS), who confronts his turbulent past and lost loves through introspection, spirituality, and plant medicine. As he channels these experiences into his debut album MENG, the film reveals a story of resilience and transformation.

Premiered at Flora Filmtheather, The Hague

For Verhullen I collaborated closely with Gino (JEANS) to shape a score that reflects the film’s spiritual dimension while staying rooted in his electronic identity. Drawing from authentic folk instruments, which we sampled and transformed, we created a sonic world that blurs the boundaries between the organic and the synthetic. The music acts as a bridge between two realms, supporting the images as the film moves delicately between realism and surrealism.

Strength goes beyond the gym.

For the new Trainmore campaign I created a soundscape formed from gritty, distorted textural evolution and raw emotional tension.

Music done for the new Jägermeister SAVE THE NIGHT campaign.

I had to sonically sculpt the creation of an idea that grows in the mind until it’s uncontainable energy bursts out into the world and sees the light of day.

Lot of sound design involved to bring the piece to life, while the music remains minimalistic, swelling up towards the end.

A call to our local leaders to take care of the place that takes care of us.

For this campaign I wanted to give nature a voice, letting it come to life in a way that makes it feel vibrant and powerful. Accompanied by the music it underscores the message of the story; give our nature space to live.
