Bio
Austrian-born Wolfgang Lackner is an award-winning composer for Film, Television, and Multimedia. A graduate of the highly-acclaimed College of Music Program at the University of North Texas, Wolfgang began his studies as a jazz-arranging major, later switching his major to composition to make his childhood dream of becoming a film and television composer a reality.
Wolfgang had a musical influence from an early age. His father was a trumpet player in a small group Jazz Ensemble as well as Big Band. At the age of five, he played the recorder before learning the clarinet and saxophone at age thirteen and playing in a local town band. At sixteen, he learned guitar, performing in several rock bands, as well as playing bass, and later piano.
Wolfgang has studied orchestration and composition under such names as Randall Bass, Conductor of the Dallas Metropolitan Wind Symphony and renowned jazz composers Frank Mantooth and Maria Schneider. He has also studied under internationally-known classical composer Dr. Martin Mailman and Hollywood film and television composer Alan Oldfield.
He has composed original scores for feature films, television, documentaries, local and national commercials, as well as music for the concert hall using a combination of his native European style with influences of modern America in his compositions.
The Adventures of Bailey series has been the most downloaded family series on iTunes, to date. In 2013, Wolfgang received the Telly Award for "Best Use of Music in a Motion Picture" for the Sci-Fi Western "Shroud", as well as being a finalist at the International Moondance Film Festival for "Best Film Score".

Testimonials
Wolfgang and I talked frequently in the preproduction process of my film about how he felt about the story I wrote, and the mood of music and ideas he had. He was always available for back and forth comments and suggestions throughout the entire film. He not only is a great composer but is efficient in sound effects and ADR as well. Wolfgang's experience in music is evident in the original ideas he would constantly come up with that I never even thought about. It was a great learning experience for me and I hope to go further in sound and music in my next film after this great learning experience with Wolfgang. Any movie, be it short or feature length, needs a voice to tell the story. Part of it is visual, an amalgam from the vision of the writer and director coming to fruition due to the hard work of the cast and crew, with the other part being in post when the score is added. If the two don't work together, there will be no impact and the film will have had it's voice diminished. Wolfgang Lackner has scored my last 3 projects and I couldn't be happier. Between his deep understanding of the mood in each scene and his versatile style, each production has been amplified and taken to the next level of perfection due to his music. Working with Wolfgang is a true joy. The man is a consummate professional with a great understanding of his craft. Not only a great professional but also someone who's company you truly enjoy. To put this in perspective I've hired Wolfgang once and he will always be my first choice in any production.” Wolfgang is a talented composer and did quite a job on composing the score for our film! Music provides the emotional baseline for a mainly visual medium, and he did a wonderful job that helps take the vier on a rollr-coaster of emotions. I look forward to working with him again on upcoming projects, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him in any capacity. |
It was a pleasure working with Wolfgang Lackner on my sci-fi movie "Passengers of 7D." He beautifully conveyed the emotional journey of my main character and the underlying ideas of my story. I felt that he was genuinely interested in my project and that is a gift for an independent filmmaker. We worked long distance and Wolfgang was easy to communicate with, stayed in touch with me, and delivered music that greatly enhances my film. I would happily recommend him to anyone in search of a professional composer. Brandy of the Damned: The Music of Wolfgang Lackner Music Review on "The Projectionist" Wolfgang Lackner was a total professional both in the process and final product of original music for my short "Whack". I would highly recommend him for any film scoring project. |
I found the process of working with Wolfgang creatively exhiliarating. He always sought to understand the subtle nuances of a scene, and would provide suggestions which breathed greater life into characters than I thought possible. He brings a technical proficiency and rich musical heritage to his work that rivals the great composers of this generation. Wolfgang is an exceptional composer. He did a phenomenal work on the orchestral arrangements for my Midnyght Storm CD. He was able to take my visual images for my piano compositions and build on that foundation to further bring out the unique personality and character of each piece. Wolfgang is a man of his word and is able to meet even the toughest of deadlines. He is open to direction and suggestions regarding the orchestral arrangements and is a great team player. I definitely look forward to working with him again on all my upcoming music CDs and projects. I highly recommend Wolfgang for any music project. Wolfgang Lackner's compositions for the documentary "Harp Tree" were perfect on the first try, adding emotion in appropriate areas to this personal Holocaust story. His intuitive compositions are only superceded by his professionalism and positive attitude. He met all deadlines and stayed in communication with me during the entire creative process, which is extremely important when working on deadline for a client. I am extremely pleased with his creations and look forward to working with him again in the future. I really enjoyed working with Mr. Lackner on my documentary film, "Beach Drive: Public Rights and Private Property", because he understood what I wanted despite my bizarre descriptions of sounds and emotions. He was great to brainstorm with, always prompt with deliverables, and has a fantastic sense of layering and timing." |
