Description: The story follows Kelly, a memory-cleansing technician haunted by childhood trauma, and Tony, her partner with scars of his own. This track introduces the film’s main theme for the first time – a fragile, minimal felt piano, capturing Kelly’s despair and the faint step toward moving forward.

“Broken Alibi” is a tense, atmospheric thriller theme that sets the tone for a world of hidden motives and quiet unraveling.
Dark, brooding textures blend with sharp cinematic motifs to evoke the suspense of an unfolding investigation and the mystery of a story half-told.
Perfect for psychological thrillers or crime dramas, it invites listeners into a space where every truth is fragile and every shadow holds a secret.

“Into the Unknown” is a cinematic sci-fi odyssey inspired by Star Wars, Dune, and Star Trek.
This piece captures the awe and mystery of discovering a distant star and stepping into a new world, fusing mystical ambient textures with sweeping orchestral and futuristic electronic soundscapes.
The music evolves from cosmic reverence into the alien rhythms of an unfamiliar planet—an immersive sonic voyage through the unexplored.

Into The Unknown

Into the Depth of the Soul is an ambient microtonal guitar piece that reaches into the quiet corners of the heart — where pain lingers, unspoken.

It unfolds like a slow emotional journey, searching for peace beneath layers of grief and memory. With every resonating tone, it expresses the silent weight we carry — and the fragile hope of release.

This is music for healing, for feeling, and for beginning to let go.

Hush Hour is a lighthearted Latin jazz comedy cue built on mischievous pizzicato bass lines, playful rhythms, and sudden pauses.
It paints the scene of a cartoon mouse sneaking through a restaurant kitchen — careful steps, close calls, and quick bursts of motion that keep the tension alive.
The journey ends on an optimistic note, with the mouse finally reaching his prize.

Quirky, cinematic, and fun, Hush Hour is written with the same attention to detail I bring to all my film work — perfect for comedy, animation, or any scene that calls for a sneaky twist.

Obscurity is a dramatic action chase cue that rises from fragile suspense into explosive motion.  
Polyrhythmic layers, distorted guitars, and electronic textures drive the music forward with urgency and cinematic force.  
It represents one of my approaches as a composer — combining complex polyrhythms with dramatic harmonies and the raw energy of my background as a metal guitarist.

Tethered - Making Some Progress

My name is Adir Oudaei and I am a composer for film, television, games, and media. My musical voice blends orchestral writing with electronic textures, expressive guitar colors, and Middle Eastern influences—crafting emotionally grounded scores that support storytelling across genres.

Originally from Israel and now based in Budapest, I began my journey as a guitarist in a metal band—an experience that still shapes my approach to rhythm, texture, and sonic identity. My compositions often explore distinctive rhythmic patterns and polyrhythms, aiming to create bold and emotionally resonant sound worlds.

I hold a B.A. in Cross-Disciplinary Composition from the Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance, where I studied with Zohar Sharon, Josef Bardanashvili, and Amit Weiner. I am currently pursuing an M.A. in Composition for Media and have recently continued my studies at the Franz Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest with Bella Máté and Balázs Ádám.

My work has been recognized with the 2024 Dean's Prize from the Faculty of Cross-Disciplinary Music and an Honorable Mention in the Prof. Haim Alexander Composition Competition. I have collaborated with GRAMMY-winning and Emmy-nominated composer Sharon Farber, contributing arrangements for concert and media projects. My scores include The Shelter, among other upcoming films.

I integrate guitar, piano, synthesizers, and oud into my scoring process, blending acoustic and electronic elements to shape a unique sonic identity for each project. I work fluently in Cubase and Sibelius, with additional experience in Logic Pro and Ableton Live. I have taught Cubase at the Jerusalem Academy and continue to offer private lessons in guitar, composition, and production.

I am now open to collaborations in film, television, games, and media. Let's talk!
