About Me
Hi, I’m Wilhelm Richard Klimt (birth name: Wockenfuß),
music producer, dipl.-engineer, multi-instrumentalist, and electronic live artist from Dresden, Germany. In my studio I offer you everything around music production: composition, sound design, recording, mixing & mastering.
Over the years I’ve played and produced as a solo artist (Wilhelm Richard) and in various bands, big bands & choirs (e.g. Lucidreaming, Güstrower Bigband, Braintreeacademy, Güstrower Chor & Kammerchor, Jazzband Sandra Weckert) in the fields of classical music, jazz, rock, pop, metal and electronic music. This has not only increased my understanding of music across genres, but also my multi-instrumental and compositional skills. So I can support you and your project practically and with a lot of know-how on drums, piano, guitar, bass, synthesizers, saxophone and vocals.
In my music productions I love to set myself no limits in terms of genre. Any music can trigger special emotions, be it epic film music, thoughtful classical music, atmospheric pop & rock, powerful metal or euphoric, body-driving electronic music.
I’m looking forward to support you in the production of your personal music. Whether you are writing/seeking music for a large audience or for a specific niche. Through good communication and close collaboration we will make sure the music sounds great, professional and reflects your vision.
Services
Production
I offer a full range of services to transform your vision into sound – from songwriting & arranging, sound design, recording, mixing & mastering to composing & producing entire songs.
In my studio I can support you all the way or just part of the way. Depending on whether you are looking for tailor-made music for e.g. a movie or your company or you are a musician yourself and want to take your songs to the next level. With years of experience, professional equipment and a fine musical and human sense, I will help you realize your musical project.
Together we will shape your sound with a high recognition value that will excite your audience.
Mixing
As an experienced musician and music producer, I understand how important it is that every note, every beat and every melody is in its place. I take the time to understand every element of your music and transform it into a balanced and captivating mix.
From EQ adjustments to effects placement, every step is done with precision and passion to bring out the best of your music. Whether you’re looking for a clear, transparent sound or a powerful, atmospheric mix, I’ll adapt to your needs.
Mastering
Mastering is the key to ensuring that your mix is convincing in any listening environment. From fine-tuning frequencies to optimizing dynamics, every detail counts. Using the latest technology and a trained ear, I optimize the overall sound so that the emotional depth of your songs is emphasized and your music sounds great on any audio system.
I am convinced that every project is unique. That’s why I offer personalized support and work closely with you to ensure that the end result meets your expectations. Your feedback is important to me, and I’m only satisfied when you are. So there are always two revisions included with all my services.
Studio & Equipment
In my acoustically treated studio I have a wide range of high-quality technology for complete and professional music production. There is a separate recording room for larger projects, such as drum recordings. If the space or the equipment is not sufficient, it is possible to outsource recording processes or borrow equipment from my professional network.

Reviews
We worked with Wilhelm on our product announcement video for drumbeam (a next-gen midi drumming controller) and couldn’t be happier. He composed the music, took on the acting role and showed off our product across different drumming setups (hybrid, live, studio) like a total pro. Communication was insanely fast and flexible. Although time was very short, Wilhelm even came up with ideas for script tweaks that made the features of our product shine even more. If you’re looking for a creative, versatile, and super-professional musician and performer, Wilhelm is a perfect choice!

I have the pleasure of working with Wilhelm on various projects since the end of 2024 and have nothing but positive things to say! The collaboration is professional, efficient and very pleasant right from the start. Wilhelm has a great feel and a good ear for the right sounds and brings new ideas to the table. He also tackles projects that are “new territory” for him and masters them with excellence. The communication is clear and friendly, and the creativity and technical expertise have taken my project to a new level. Whether it's an arrangement or just small musical elements that have been added. I highly recommend Wilhelm to anyone looking for a talented and reliable producer! I am very much looking forward to working with him again. In my opinion, 5 ⭐️ is not enough. 🥰
Artist
Wilhelm is the best producer an independent artist can find, with a standout ability to guide you. I worked with him on the production of my debut single "The History Class," and his ideas effectively complemented my direction as an artist. Especially when recording vocals, he has the right formula in his head for bringing out the best in your voice, even if you have no experience recording in a studio. Additionally, being a multi-instrumentalist makes him a valuable asset for the final product, especially in a modern era where contemporary music demands high quality with few resources. I definitely believe that he will soon be recognized as a star producer on the international scene for his sense and touch in enhancing the value of a commercial work. From any perspective, he is a decisive human resource for any project. But if there's one thing I must highlight, it's his empathy and receptiveness when understanding a project because he is an artist himself, resulting in a collaboration of equal energies that should be valued. It's worth traveling from anywhere in the world to work with him; I was fortunate to be in the same city. An optimal and high-quality result is 100% guaranteed.

Together with Wilhelm, I was able to take my music projects to the next level. Working with Wilhelm is very professional, pleasant, personal and friendly. He works proactively to help you to realize specific wishes in the areas of production, mixing and mastering. In the end, you get a very professional result that stays true to the original.
Producer, Artist, DJ
Wilhelm is such a talented musician and producer - it was a real pleasure to work with him on my two singles „Waves“ and „From the Stars to the Dunes“. Before we went into the actual production of the two songs, we had a Zoom call in which Wilhelm wanted to get to know the idea behind the songs. I felt that he really wanted to take the time to understand my vision better, so that he could implement it during production. Even before the studio day he started to send me arrangement ideas for „From the Stars to the Dunes“. So that we could start with the vocals right away when we were in the studio. The actual studio day was so much fun. We recorded my vocals and Handpan playing. And when Wilhelm went into the mixing / mastering phase after that, he sent me a few versions and was always open for my feedback. In the end, he produced the songs in a way that aligned so much with my vision. And I am so, so happy with the results. Thank you so much, Wilhelm. Looking forward to a future collaboration.

It was a pleasure working with Wilhelm. We truly felt like he cared about the music as much as we did. His attention to detail and musical talent showed throughout the whole process and he took all the time that was needed to deliver a perfect product.
Band
Wilhelm Wockenfuß is not only a gifted musician who knows how to use acoustic and electronic instruments sensibly and profitably, but also a popular trainer and coach for young and old for everything that has strings, keys or is percussion. Working with him is always a great enrichment in every aspect, as he is an absolute team player, an accomplished musician and a person who is constantly learning. We hope for many more wonderful years of collaboration and would like to take this opportunity to highly recommend him for everything that has to do with music and its production.
