Oleg Troyanovsky

Unknown Story

Oleg Troyanovsky is a New York–based composer who grew up in Geneva and studied composition at the Tchaikovsky Conservatory in Moscow.

His writing is built on cinematic, self-contained episodes with pauses that invite the listener to complete the story. The material often originates from hidden words or real-world data encoded into the score, drawing structure directly from lived reality.

He has composed music for over 50 films, released original albums and created sound art installations presented in museum and public art settings internationally.

In 2015 he received the Prix Italia Grand Prix and the Prix Europa for the radio projects Encrypted in Music and Radio Symphony Musical Observatory.

In 2020 he was selected from 11,000 participants by J.J. Abrams, J. Nolan and L. Joy as one of six finalists in the HBO Westworld Scoring Competition.
