Kevin Penkin is an Australian composer who’s become a standout name in anime soundtracks, blending lush orchestral arrangements with haunting electronic vibes. You might recognize his work from emotionally charged scores like *Made in Abyss* (including its sequel *The Golden City of the Scorching Sun*), where his eerie yet beautiful tracks perfectly match the series’ adventurous-but-dark tone. More recently, he’s been busy crafting folksy, atmospheric music for *Spice and Wolf: Merchant Meets the Wise Wolf* and weaving intrigue into *The Apothecary Diaries*. Based in London and trained at the Royal College of Music, Penkin has a knack for merging Western classical training with anime’s storytelling pulse, making his soundtracks feel both epic and deeply personal. His 2024 projects, like *Bye Bye, Earth*, keep proving he’s a go-to composer for worlds you want to get lost in.
