Hi, I’m Ata Öztürk, a composer and music producer based between Istanbul and Ghent. I work across a wide range of genres—from extreme metal to classical, electronic to folk—driven by a love of sound and storytelling. I have hands-on experience in recording, sound design, and post-production, and I’m currently pursuing a Master of Composition at KASK & Conservatorium. In addition to composing, I perform as a guitarist and serve as a sound designer and engineer on various projects. I recently wrote and produced most of the soundtrack for a post-metal band, handling recording, mixing, and mastering. I’ve contributed pieces for festivals such as Sesin Yolcuğu Young Composers Festival and Bilgi New Music Festival, and I’m in the recording phase for a late-2026 album project with the post-metal band I’m involved with.
