Bagdaan Batyrkin

A musician, composer, and creative content producer with a strong fondation in American jazz theory and performance, Bagdaan Batyrkin began his musical journey in Eastern Europe, studying jazz guitar, drums, performance, and improvisation from 2011 to 2023

Since relocating to Melbourne in 2023, he has focused on electronic music production and creative research. His work spans original film scoring, sound design, and contemporary electronic composition, developed alongside his Bachelor of Music studies in electronic music production and composition.

In 2024, he released his debut album, *The Ballad of the Vietnamese Tiger*—an ambient, jazz-infused work combining cinematic, soundtrack-inspired textures with the depth and colour of jazz harmony. The album reflects his ongoing pursuit of bringing music, narrative, and atmosphere together into a cohesive artistic voice.

His broader creative interests include contemporary electronic and jazz music, artistic research, luxury fashion culture, cinematography, film direction, photography, and editing. Through his interdisciplinary practice, he continues to explore new ways of merging different art forms into a singular creative vision.
