ABOUT KOENICH SOUND
Your music deserves more than just a good mix.
You’ve invested countless hours writing, rehearsing and refining your music. It deserves a production that reflects its emotion, power and identity.
Heavy music deserves thoughtful production.
I’m Franz, also known as “Koenich”. For more than two decades I’ve been writing, recording and producing heavy music myself. As a guitarist, songwriter and engineer, I’ve experienced every stage of the process – from rehearsal rooms and live shows to recording, mixing and production.
From the first demo to the final master, we make deliberate decisions that serve the songs. It’s a collaborative process built on trust, honest feedback and a shared goal: creating a record you’ll still be proud of years from now.
Based in Munich, I work with artists around the globe.
WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Simon Bornstein
MOSTLY HARMLESS
Koenich a.k.a. Franz recorded, mixed and mastered our first record Central Intelligence Arlines and perfectly captured our sound - despite none of us having recording experience. We still love that record.
Daniel Becker
DUCT HEARTS
Franz’s work ethic and ear for detail are exceptional. He put so much into our LP he felt like a fourth band member - he understood the sound we wanted and shared our vision.

A BREATH OF
Franz was my drum doctor in Fire From Below - rebuilt, tuned and damped my kit to fit the guitars. His rehearsal mixes sounded so ‘major’ that my film colleagues asked which studio we used.
