Why this music
The music stays in the shadow between two worlds — ancient modal harmonies and brooding strings for the underworld's cold grandeur, with warmer, more luminous passages where the mortal world breaks through. Textures deepen as the mythic pull tightens, mirroring the protagonist's descent into something forbidden and irresistible.
