Sabri Tulug Tirpan

Sabri Tulug Tirpan, born smack in the heart of Istanbul back in 1970, has been turning heads in the world of music for ages. The guy just oozes creativity. Whether you’ve heard him on the wild, animated ride that is Bad Cat (2016)—seriously, that movie’s got more attitude than half the block—or you’ve caught the haunting tunes from Bir Avuç Deniz (2011), you can tell he’s not just another composer going through the motions. He’s got this knack for layering sounds that kind of sneak up on you. One minute you’re just watching a scene, the next the music’s got you totally wrapped up in the vibe. And then there’s Alice Müzikali (2023). That show? Massive deal in Turkey, and Sabri’s work is basically the heartbeat behind it. His score carries the whole thing, flipping between dreamy, whimsical, and downright intense without missing a beat. It’s like he’s got a sixth sense for what a story needs, squeezing emotion out of every note. What’s wild is how he blends old-school Turkish influences with modern edge—kind of like Istanbul itself, always caught between past and present. People in the business love working with him because he brings this energy, this unpredictability. You never know if he’s gonna drop a piano solo that makes you wanna cry or toss in some electronic twist that gets your foot tapping. Sabri Tulug Tirpan isn’t just writing background music—he’s shaping the whole mood. Every project he touches, you remember the sound long after the credits roll.
