Fırtına Kıral

Umut Fırtına Kıral is a composer, producer, sound designer and arranger who is creating original music for film, TV, video games, live productions and advertisements. His work combines acoustic, electronic, and hybrid musical languages to build distinctive sonic worlds that deepen storytelling and strengthen the emotional connection between audiences and narrative.

Recent projects include sound design for the Louis Vuitton Foundation, original music for a boutique jewellery campaign, compositions for visual artists, and an immersive sound installation created for a photography exhibition. Whether scoring for picture, developing sonic identities for brands, or producing multidisciplinary works, he approaches every collaboration with a strong emphasis on creative direction, musical craftsmanship, and dramatic impact.

Alongside his work as a composer, Fırtına is an active drummer and improviser, performing regularly in both live and studio settings. This dual perspective as performer and composer informs a flexible, collaborative approach to music-making across a wide range of creative disciplines.

In 2025, Fırtına completed his Master's degree at the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague, specialising in composition, orchestration, and multimedia production. He graduated with the Excellence Scholarship and was awarded the Corendon Fund in recognition of his artistic achievements.
