Yanick Herzog

Composer, Re-Recording Mixer

Composer, arranger and producer based in Basel, Switzerland. Exploring sounds and giving films his distinctive, musical fingerprint is what makes him a frequent collaborator of visual artists. Through intense training on the drum set – in the styles of rock and pop – and classical music on the piano, he discovered a fascination for film music. During his studies at the ZHdK (Zurich University of the Arts), he composed the music for several short animation, documentary and fiction films which went on to be selected for and awarded at festivals worldwide. He graduated with a Bachelor degree in 2020 under Till Löffler and Olav Lervik. Besides working on compositions and arrangements, he joined the award-winning artist JODOQ to form a band of four film composers which led to performances at M4MUSIC Festival, BSCENE Festival and a concert performance with the Symphony Orchestra Basel where he performed as a pianist. He is currently enrolled in the film music programme at ZHdK and works as a freelance composer.
