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, and is generally convinced that good music only happens when you mix things up.
Credits include his SCL-Award-nominated score for the historical drama “American Traitor: The Trial of Axis Sally” starring Al Pacino, the cutting-edge climate change documentary "The Here Now Project", the Mel Gibson action film “Force of Nature”, the Lionsgate Western "Gone Are the Days" featuring 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; the score for the Busch Gardens theme park ride "Corkscrew Hill", 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.
Kubilay Uner is a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. From 2017 - 2023 he served as an elected board member for the Society of Composers and Lyricists (SCL), Americas premier organization representing media composers, where he founded the Early Career committee.
