Maximilian van Boxel
Maximilian van Boxel
Executive Producer
Composer, pianist, and entrepreneur with fifteen years in finance and several companies built and scaled, Maximilian leads Sonaveil's commercial direction, client partnerships, and growth. He provides the operational structure that lets the studio take on ambitious creative work and deliver it reliably.

Sonaveil is a narrative led audio studio. We work with publishers, broadcasters, and studios who understand that capturing the complete attention of a listener, pulling them so deep into a story that the world around them disappears, is the highest achievement in audio production. Not the most familiar. Not the most predictable. The most felt. If that is the standard you hold your work to, we were built for each other.

At Sonaveil, we are developing custom AI tools that help publishers scale audio production, from Foley to large sound libraries. Models trained on common patterns risk making everything sound the same. Our AI tools learn from each client’s own catalogue, preserving what makes their sound distinctive. Every project we touch is still held to one standard: does this make the listener feel something they have never felt before?

That standard extends beyond the work itself: every role is named, every contribution acknowledged. Fair credit and fair pay are not principles we apply selectively; they define the structure of every project we deliver. In an industry that under-recognizes emerging talent, we actively create opportunities for composers and sound designers of all backgrounds and identities.

Immersive audio is still a young medium. The language of spatial storytelling is only beginning to take shape, and audiences are just starting to expect real depth from what they hear. We are building for the moment when immersive sound is no longer a feature, but the way stories are experienced. Technology will evolve. The need it serves will not.
