About Me

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.

Featured Tracks

String Quartet in C Minor

"String Quartet in C Minor" was written in 2025. It convey emotional intensity and texture, shaping it in a way that fits a film-music atmosphere. Scored for two violins, viola, and cello, the quartet has a strong harmonic foundation and follows an ABA’B form. It is framed by a leading violin line that adds clarity and direction to the overall sound.

Decadence

Description

"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

Description

"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.
