    uniE603 The Dream - Music for Film
    Epic surreal cover art for “The Dream.” A group of street athletes—skaters, BMX riders, dancers, parkour runners—stand on a cracked urban street at twilight. From the asphalt, glowing golden roots emerge, symbolizing rebirth after struggle. Broken concrete and fragments float upward into a golden sunrise, representing hope and resilience. The city around them is gritty yet dreamlike, blending fragility with raw strength. Painterly textures, deep blues and warm golds, cinematic lighting. Typography for “The Dream” is minimal and integrated, keeping focus on the story of unity, struggle, and belief in dreams. music beat jingle instrumental master soundtrack
    uniE603 Duality - Music for Film
    This piece was originally composed as the main theme for an independent short film exploring dual personality and the complexities of multiple identities. The music reflects that inner conflict—shifting between fragility and raw intensity, echoing the contrast of hidden voices within the self. Over time, the score has also found a home in futuristic and apocalyptic settings, where its blend of dark orchestral power, heavy metal drive, and classical textures creates a sense of both destruction and resilience. The track carries the weight of an ending world, yet still leaves space for hope to break through the chaos. At its core, this composition is a cinematic fusion of orchestral depth, rock energy, and metal force—a journey between shadows and light, collapse and rebirth. music instrumental soundtrack master
