Michael J. Keplinger EPK

Michael J. Keplinger (performing as MJK) is an Austrian musician, songwriter, and award-winning filmmaker based in Vienna. Operating entirely on his own terms, he writes, performs, and produces his music independently.

Embracing human connection over fleeting vanity metrics, his work—including his recent well-received The Words At Play EP—demands patience and rewards repeated listening. Keplinger’s extensive background in audiovisual media, highlighted by 50+ international film festival selections and 20+ awards, infuses his soundscapes with a striking, cinematic sense of atmosphere and rhythm.

LISTEN NOW

Rather than chasing fleeting attention, [The Words At Play] demands time and rewards repeated listening. With each listen, new details reveal themselves.

CityGuide Rhein Neckar

A sound magician working with heart, passion, dedication, and skill. Keplinger, who produced the EP entirely on his own, […] is not one to leave anything to chance, but a perfectionist.
