Joel Woolf is a musician, producer and film&TV composer. Working out of his own studio in Sydney, Joel combines his collection of vintage analogue gear and instruments with cutting edge digital technology to work across a variety of styles and genres and seeks to explore the nexus between electronic and acoustic sounds in his work with a focus on communicating emotion and narrative through sound and music. He is particularly interested in exploring unusual treatments of acoustic instruments; processing and manipulating the everyday sounds we are used to into something that is new while maintaining a surprising familiarity.

​

Joel's music has been featured internationally in many formats including film, TV, radio, podcast and museum installations. He collaborated with fellow composer Munro Melano to write the music for the US online series the Visiting Room, which featured interviews with prisoners sentenced to life without parole in Angola Prison, Louisiana. The Visiting Room has been screened at the Kennedy Center in Washington DC, and led to the release of several of the featured prisoners.

 

He released an album in 2024, and currently writes music for the sci-fi noir audio fiction podcast Jones & Woolf.
