    Animation Soundtrack - Dream

    Step into a world where silence speaks, and every note carries a memory…

    “DREAM” is bringing to life the inner world of a boy lost in dreams, grief, and the hope of connection. This piece is not just a music video—it’s a journey through solitude, memory, and fragile light.

    Story of Dhohhak | A Mythical Cantata Inspired by Ferdowsi’s Shahnameh | Trailer

    “Story of Dhohhak” is a dramatic cantata for orchestra and choir, inspired by the legendary Persian epic Shahnameh by Ferdowsi. This powerful composition brings to life the ancient myth of Dhohhak — a dark tale of greed, deception, and downfall — through a rich musical and visual narrative.

    What makes this project unique is its combination of classical orchestration with the poetic German translation by Friedrich Rückert, offering a rare cultural fusion of East and West.

    This video is a trailer cut, introducing the concept of the full piece with cinematic visuals and a three-minute audio excerpt.

    Dance of the Dragons

    In 2017, a composition competition was held for the opening music of the Cultural Festival in Foshan, China, an event that brought together artists from around the world.
    That year, my piece “Dance of the Dragons” was awarded third place among the selected works.🐉

    The composition is inspired by ancient Chinese musical motifs, blending traditional instruments such as the erhu, guzheng, and taiko drum with a full symphonic orchestra. Through this fusion, I aimed to portray the dance and soaring movement of dragons, a symbol deeply rooted in Chinese culture and mythology.🐲

    In this post, you can listen to a short excerpt from the piece.🎧
