Murmuralis is a Duo Creating Unique, Emotional, Cinematic Music for Film and Media
Our Philosophy
At Murmuralis, we compose music that breathes with the image, enhancing the story without overshadowing it. Our compositions are instinctive, primal, and deeply human, embracing imperfections that bring authenticity. Drawing from rich ethnic and traditional influences, we create soundscapes that feel organic and immersive.
With Heli’s Master Degree in cinema and first career in film production, and Adam’s background in music composition, we understand the delicate balance between music and storytelling. A great score should elevate a film, not overpower it. We know when to introduce themes, when to build an atmosphere, and, most importantly, when to step back.
The Perfect Sound for Your Project
Together, we offer a fresh approach to music, blending powerful vocals and unique percussive textures that can bring any scene to life. More than music, we create landscapes that light up the imagination. With raw, handcrafted sounds born from years of exploration and cultural heritage, our unique sonic vibes are made to fit seamlessly into your movie, video game, or advertisement. At our core, we draw from the most universal instruments: voice and percussion. But our creative process is constantly evolving, enriched by orchestras of all kinds – from epic, cinematic scores to reflective, atmospheric, and intimate soundscapes. Let us bring your vision to life through music that moves, inspires, and captivates.
If you’re looking for a fresh, globally inspired sound to your projects, look no further. Our combined expertise will bring your vision to life.
With a voice shaped by diverse cultural influences, Heli specializes in creating unique choirs and vocal landscapes. She crafts languages and harmonies that range from eerie, primitive tribal chants to intricate Bulgarian choirs, Asian-inspired melodies, and classical arrangements. These diverse vocal styles bring profound human emotion, perfectly suited for enhancing film scores, trailers, and soundtracks. Her voice spans a wide range, from lyrical mezzo-soprano to emotive harmonies, drawing inspiration from powerful traditions around the world, including Mongolia, India, and the Nordic countries. Whether a haunting solo vocal or dynamic choral layers are needed, Heli brings an otherworldly quality and a captivating narrative power to every project, transporting listeners to distant, evocative worlds.
Adam’s drumming is a powerful fusion of primitive energy and progressive innovation. With a unique style that blends intricate cymbal stacks, earthy percussions and experimental sounds — including trash cans, glass, and sand — Adam has carved out a distinctive sound that resonates between the raw power of metal and the expansive textures of world music. As the drummer for the progressive metal band VOLA and live drummer for Swedish pop artist DOTTER, Adam has honed his craft in both the studio and on international stages. His recent work includes recording drums for the full soundtrack of the video game Metal: Hellsinger, alongside artists like Serj Tankian. Now, Adam is exploring new projects, further expanding his rich musical language.
Orchestral
Besides our duet of percussion and vocals, we use a variety of instruments, including dark cellos and flutes. We also collaborate with Quentin Thomas for our larger orchestral pieces.
