"HBO Max’s *Heaven’s Gate* promo needs a score that feels like a freight train of cosmic dread, then a sudden, unhinged lift—no warning, just the weight of it all shifting."
The brief demands a score that mirrors the show’s unsettling blend of existential horror and surreal detachment. We crafted a piece where the first act is a slow dissonant texture that mimics the weight of unseen threats. The tension builds through subtle, rhythmic tension, like a heartbeat counting down to something unseen. It’s not just music; it’s a sonic environment that forces the listener to confront the show’s themes: isolation, revelation, and the fragility of perception. Produced by State Design.
