Composer Candidate | Music Portfolio
↓I’m Arda Mavi. I compose music with a cinematic soul, often moody, bohemian, and rich in emotional texture. My solo works lean toward film-inspired soundscapes, while my alternative, rock, and hard rock compositions reflect various emotions, sometimes aggressive, sometimes melancholic. I play Electric and Bass Guitar, and recently the Violin and Piano have joined my musical journey.
"Decadence" was written in 2025. It was inspired by the 2019 psychological thriller Saint Maud (directed by Rose Glass). The composer creates a theme that matches the film’s atmosphere and strengthens the sense of the main character’s psychological collapse. The piece written for oboe and two cellos. With its limited number of notes and minimalist writing, the composer approaches it as a soundtrack-style work.
"The Spirit Tree" was written in 2025. This composition was created for a short clip from the film Nymphomaniac (2013, directed by Lars von Trier). In the film, the main character believes that every human soul finds its echo in a tree. During a mountain journey, she discovers her own tree. The score features two instruments: violin and violoncello. The beginning conveys a sense of mountain-climbing adventure, then intensifies the feeling of encountering the tree and falling into deep reflection.
"Dodecett" was written in 2025. The composition begins with a soft introduction and gradually builds emotional weight; it is a short but melodically rich work. The ensemble consists of flute, oboe, bassoon, trumpet, trombone, tuba, bass drum, two violins, viola, cello, and double bass.
