Kubilay Uner

Kubilay Uner makes adventurous, eclectic, colorful music for media ranging from film and television to concerts and records.

He blends acoustic, synthetic and found sounds, builds his own instruments, bends tempos, layers noise, mixes metaphors, and is generally convinced that good music only happens when you mix things up.

Credits include numerous narrative features and documentaries, including the Mel Gibson action film “Force of Nature”, the Al Pacino historical drama “American Traitor: The Trial of Axis Sally”, the Lionsgate Western "Gone Are the Days" starring Lance Henriksen, Tom Berenger and Danny Trejo, as well as "Big Sur", based on Jack Kerouac's novel; plus a genuine Wyld Stallyns track for "Bill & Ted Face the Music", record productions for soul legend Bobby Womack; "Corkscrew Hill", a theme park ride at Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, VA; and music for video art installations at the Pasadena Museum of California Art and in the permanent collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA).

Kubi's current home base is Chicago, where he also serves as the Director of the Music Composition for the Screen MFA program at Columbia College Chicago.
