Why this music
The music stays close to the water: dark strings, modal harmonies, and sparse percussion that evoke both the lure and the danger beneath the surface. It warms slightly in the rare moments of reluctant tenderness, then pulls back to cold, circling depths. The mix moves like a tide — never fully still, never fully wild.
