Dual Mania (The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

Every melody feels tied to a specific psychological state. It shows how music can mirror a fractious mind better than words ever could.

“The music is the soul of the film.”

The collaborative energy between Ellington and Strickland is palpable here. They managed to capture that uneasy feeling of being watched in every note.

There is a raw quality to the instrumentals that feels deeply personal. It reminds me that our darkest thoughts have their own rhythm.

The way the scores shift between calm and chaos is jarring. It perfectly captures how quickly a mood can turn sour without warning.
