Wandmacher was born in Minneapolis.[citation needed] He began his career composing music for local news media and television commercials before scoring short and feature films by local filmmakers. While following a series of email exchanges that started via a film music newsgroup, Wandmacher met Alan Silvestri and was invited to Los Angeles to participate in several scoring sessions.[3] They composed music for the English-language releases of several Jackie Chan films including Armour of God and Drunken Master II. He eventually found success with the black comedy horror film Modern Vampires. Wandmacher co-composed the score with Danny Elfman, the brother of the film's director Richard Elfman. Wandmacher permanently relocated to Los Angeles.
The majority of Wandmacher's work consists of genre films particularly horror and thriller films. In 2015, Wandmacher composed the score to the role-playing video game Bloodborne.[4]
