Introducing a rising talent in cinematic composition, award-winning composer and producer Inal Bilsel unveils three captivating singles ahead of his fairy tale-inspired concept album, Once Upon a Cloudtop Meadow, set for release in March 2025. The singles—A Night at the Cloudtop Imaginarium, Berceuse for Lulu, and Sleepwalker—mark pivotal moments in Bilsel’s artistic journey, showcasing his unique style, which blends jazz fusion, ambient atmospheres, and classical elements into a vivid, cinematic tapestry of sound.
Based in Nicosia, Cyprus, Bilsel intricately weaves fairy tale-inspired narratives into his music, crafting instrumental stories that speak volumes without words. His innovative approach employs a rich sonic palette, combining orchestral writing with unconventional instruments such as toys to create a sound that feels both familiar and otherworldly.

The creation of Once Upon a Cloudtop Meadow draws heavily on storytelling techniques found in ballet music, operas, and film soundtracks. Each composition reflects Bilsel’s deep understanding of tone, balance, and orchestration—qualities praised by internationally acclaimed mastering engineer Bob Katz, who remarked: “Your album tells a mythical story, without words but with vocal sounds…achieved mix Nirvana!”
