BIOGRAPHY

Mirko Rizzello (MG-Rizzello) – Film Composer
Award-winning German film composer (IMDB) Mirko Rizzello (aka MG-Rizzello) was born in 1976 in Berlin, where he lives with his wife and two daughters. His parents, Romeo and Jozica, migrated from Italy and Slovenia to West Germany in 1974. While initially trained in Medical Laboratory Technical Assistance, he now balances his music career with work in the social sector at Charité – Humboldt University Berlin Clinic.

Musical Journey & Influences
Mirko began his music career as a drummer in various bands, including Minory, Wallsplit, and Foreshadowing, before joining Picture Palace Music (2012–2014). One of his bandmates, Thorsten Quaeschning, is the current leader of the legendary electronic group Tangerine Dream.

Mirko´s musical influences cover punk, grunge, synth-pop, and progressive rock, taking inspiration from bands like The Clash, Pearl Jam, Depeche Mode, The Mission, and The Smiths.
His love for film music grew from the works of Hans Zimmer (Rain Man, 1988; Gladiator, 2000; The Dark Knight, 2008), as well as James Horner, Howard Shore, Danny Elfman, and many others. Inspired by these composers, he began his journey as a film composer in 2009.

Film Scoring & Collaborations
In 2009, Rizzello transitioned into film composing, releasing his debut album Heroical (2010). That same year, he partnered with award-winning director Dave Lojek (APEIRON FILMS) on a KinoBerlino zombie trailer, sparking a long-standing collaboration. Their successful projects include:
Psychic Sue (2013)
Their work has earned multiple awards, including Best Original Score. 

Mirko Rizzello has also composed for directors such as Ingrid Hübscher, Sören Helbing, Adrián Tejero, and Stefanie Spachmann, captivating festival audiences worldwide. In 2019, he scored the fantasy series pilot Assana by Chris Cloud marking his first overseas collaboration.
In 2020, he composed the score for the horror-thriller C.L.E.A.N., starring Costas Mandylor and Tom Sizemore. This project, produced by Vjekoslav Katusin and directed by Aurelio Toni Agliata, allowed him to explore the darker side of film music, earning notable success in cinemas.


Musical Style & Legacy
Rizzello's music blends MIDI sequencing with live instrumentation, spanning genres from experimental ambient and electronic hybrids to full orchestral scores. His notable albums include: 
Heroical (2010)
Tronic - Journey into Cyberspace (2012) – Concept album
...

As a self-taught musician, he constantly refines his craft, layering new sounds and techniques into each project. Fans describe his compositions as epic, dynamic, and emotionally powerful. 
With over 777 international festival screenings of APEIRON FILMS scores, Rizzello’s music has transformed cinemas into his concert halls.
New albums are currently in production, and his music is available for licensing across various media, including video games.

thanks for your recommendation

Danke für die zusammenarbeit! Thanks for cooperation support and believing in me!

Dave Lojek

Mirko ist ein sehr talentierter Komponist, der bereits für unzählige meiner Filmprojekte die Musik erschuf. So ist es auch ihm zu verdanken, dass diese Filme auf über 550 Kinofestivals und im Fernsehen ein stetig wachsendes Publikum begeistern und bereits Preise gewannen. Soundtracks tragen ja wesentlich zur Stimmung des Films bei.
Mirko beherrscht viele Genres und kann innerhalb kurzer Zeit erstaunliche Resultate erzielen. Ich freue mich schon auf unsere nächsten Projekte und Mirkos neue Alben.

Giacomo Cagnetti

It's been a pleasure to know a wonderful musician and composer like you Mirko.
You can create great epic compositions using great sounds and I am so happy when we can work together for my video projects.
You are a great professional and also a friend for me and I would like to thank you for everything we did in the past and for everything we'll do in the future.
I wish you the best for you and your family.
Best regards from Italy!

About Heroical: This album combines several styles of music in such a successful way that drops all of your senses into alertness. "Heroical" album is a great, manifold music trip, that evolves through very carefully made and crackerjack inspired productions. Ideal music themes for game and movie soundtracks. My congratulations!

Sören Helbing

Mirko Rizzello hat mich bereits bei 4 herausfordernden Projekten unterstützt. Durch seine Wandelbarkeit und sein Gespür für Details sind erstklassige Kompositionen entstanden, die meine Arbeiten unterstrichen und bereichert haben. Zuverlässigkeit und ein hohes Maß an Engagement zeichnen Mirko aus – eine wunderbare und beruhigende Basis besonders bei stressigen Projekten. Ich freue mich schon jetzt auf weitere gemeinsame Arbeiten.

David August

"Mg Rizzello's music not only has great emotion and grandeur, but big range as well. It can infuse a scene with a depth nothing but great music gives, and does it without overshadowing or interrupting the story. I am a fan of his work in its own right, and as a part of film." 

When collaborating on a project, I look for three key qualities: understanding, efficiency, and imagination. MG-Rizzello embodies all of these. Having worked with him on The Realistic Project and The Shakycam Zone, I can confidently say he is an exceptional composer. He truly listens, delivering an initial version that perfectly captures your vision. His work is outstanding, and I highly recommend him. Beyond his talent, he is a pleasure to work with - professional, creative, and deeply passionate about his craft.

Chris Cloud

"Mirko was fantastic to work with. Great collaborator. He would not only make what was in my head a reality, he would also have great ideas himself. His music is always creative and full of emotion. He’s also not afraid to try new things and create sounds and melodies that he’s never done before. He understands story, and characters well. He has solidified himself as a lifelong asset for my films. I can’t wait to work with him again.”
- Chris Cloud, Writer and Director of “Assana”. 

Natalie Hernandez

"Mirko did the music for our game Truths Untold. He was wonderful to work with. He listened to all our thoughts and ideas. Even though our game was a genre he hadn't done before, we were so impressed by how he was able to capture the feel of the characters and scenes. He was patient with us when we needed changes and most importantly he made absolutely beautiful music for our visual novel/game.
We would definitely work with him again and recommend him to anyone looking for a talented and professional composer."
