ABOUT KOENICH SOUND
Hi, I’m Franz, also known as “Koenich”.
I’ve spent decades immersed in heavy, atmospheric music.
As a guitarist, songwriter and live engineer since the late 1990s, I understand what it takes to turn ideas and emotion into songs that truly connect. I’ve been on stage, in rehearsal rooms and behind the console ... and I know where productions succeed, and where they fall apart if they’re not handled right.
Koenich Sound exists to serve the artist’s vision. Not perfection for its own sake, but productions that are powerful, emotionally honest and true to the music, without sanding off the edges that make it unique.
From the first demo to the final master, we shape the sound together until it feels focused, authentic and unmistakably yours.
It's a collaborative process built on trust, honest feedback and shared standards, with one goal: helping your music become the strongest version of itself.
Based near Munich, Koenich Sound works with artists across Germany and around the world.
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.
