NETFLIX İstanbul Hatırası "A Memento For Istanbul" (TV Series) - Composer

Arın Aykut is a London-based composer whose scores have travelled from Netflix to BBC Radio, from an Australian feature film to primetime Mexican television. Working freelance with Hans Zimmer's Bleeding Fingers Music, Extreme Music, and the sample library company Orchestral Tools, he writes for film, television, video games, and stage, and is currently completing a PhD in Composition for Film & TV at the London College of Music, awarded on a Vice-Chancellor's full scholarship.
His scores move easily between mediums: the opening theme for two seasons of Exatlón México on Azteca TV, an additional score credit on The Pit TV series that landed on Spotify's Top 50, and a run of award-winning short films, including Tenement, featured on MUBI. For the stage, he has composed for the National Theatre of Türkiye, including 12 Angry, an award-winning production, while his concept EP Prophecy reimagines Dune Messiah in purely musical form. His string septet Homeland was broadcast on BBC Radio, and his solo piano work has been showcased on BBC Introducing.
Before scoring became his focus, Arın built a parallel life on stage: performing piano at Würzburg Palace in Germany, reaching the finals of The World Pianist Invitational in the US, and conducting ensembles including the National Polish Radio Symphonic Orchestra and the Turkish State Polyphonic Choir. That dual background, classical performance on one side and media scoring on the other, still shapes how he writes: every score starts as music that could stand on its own, before it ever meets picture.
