Music should strengthen a story—not compete with it. As an award-winning film and documentary composer with 26 IMDb credits and music featured on HBO, Netflix, AMC, CBS, ESPN, MTV, and Comedy Central, I've spent the past 16 years helping independent filmmakers bring their stories to life through emotionally authentic, story-first scores that serve the narrative and support the director's vision. Whether you're producing a feature film, documentary, television series, or short, I write music that strengthens storytelling, deepens emotional connection, and keeps audiences immersed in your world. Every project begins with understanding your story, your audience, and the emotional journey you want viewers to experience. What it's like to work together: • Story-first scoring that supports narrative, character, and emotion • Clear communication throughout every stage of production • The ability to translate non-musical creative direction into music that aligns with your vision • Reliable delivery that helps keep post-production on schedule • Professionalism from first conversation through final mix What clients have said: "This would not be an award-winning documentary if it hadn't been for the score... They did a great job in record-breaking time... I could not be happier with the score I got." "Cut Time Music's scores are nothing short of brilliant. What they do is as integral to the film as any other element." "Cut Time Music brings a creative collaboration to the table that I rarely see. They…[worked] against an incredibly crazy schedule, not once sacrificing quality or collaboration." Selected genres: • Documentary • Drama • Thriller • Horror • Comedy • Sci-Fi • Fantasy • Reality Television Services: • Film Scoring • Documentary Scoring • Music Composition • Music Production • Orchestration • Audio Mixing • Sound Design For larger projects, additional production support may be available through my long-standing creative partnership at Cut Time Music when appropriate and approved by the client. If you're looking for a composer who understands both storytelling and collaborative filmmaking, I'd love to learn about your project and discuss how music can help bring your vision to life.

I'm Mustafa Yazicioglu, (aka IMNOX), a multi award-winning composer, orchestrator, songwriter, and sound designer with 21 years of professional experience. My first credited film score dates back to 2005. Since then, I've accumulated more than 200 credits across feature films, television, video games, and commercial music. My work has received over 30 international awards, has been featured on platforms including Netflix, Disney, BBC, Hulu, Amazon Prime, and Apple, and in 2026 I was invited to join the Recording Academy. While I'm new to Upwork, I bring over two decades of real-world production experience and industry-standard quality to every project. I hold a Film Scoring degree from Berklee and founded Digitalent Entertainment, a music production and distribution company with studios in Los Angeles and Austin. My credits include feature films such as "Mothered," "Ensnared," "30 For 30," "The Last Act," "Mutant," "Make A Wish," the TV series "The Gate," the video game "New Cycle," "Steelblood," and many more. Two decades of scoring for real productions means I know how to hit a brief, meet a deadline, and deliver something that actually serves the picture — not just sounds good in isolation. I bring that same standard to every project here, whether it's an indie short, a game trailer, or a full orchestral score. Full credit list and award certificates available in my portfolio and on request. Genres: orchestral, hybrid orchestral-electronic, ambient, trailer music, sound design. What I work on: — Feature Film & TV Scoring (orchestral, hybrid, electronic) — Video Game Music & Adaptive Audio (Unity, Unreal Engine, FMOD, Wwise) — Album & Single Production & Commercial Releases — Trailer Music, Ad Spots, and Branded Content I conduct live orchestras, work in Cubase, Nuendo, and have collaborated with production companies around the world. I started playing piano at age 6, that's 38 years with the instrument. Along the way I added cello (12 years) and violin (8 years), and have conducted live orchestras on recordings for film, television, and video game projects. Music has never been just a career for me; it's the language I've spoken longest. If you have a project in mind, let's talk. I respond within a few hours and offer a free initial consultation.
