Unicorns Music is a music production company founded by Viv Lalu and Eleftheria Zavalis, two experienced music composers and producers committed to the importance of original music, as opposed to the growing use of stock audio in the industry.
At Unicorns Music, we firmly believe that every project is unique and deserves original music. Your soundtrack should sound personal and make sense according to YOUR artistic vision. It will hold special value and persona for your listeners, as opposed to using a pre-made soundtrack.
Our mission is to understand you and create original music which will honor your creations, then deliver it to you, ready to use. Whether it is for films, TV shows, video games or ads. We have the right soundtrack in mind.
Your “mission”:
There is nothing like creating powerful, original music that will live beyond your project. Don’t be cheap. Don’t use “pre-made” audio. Stock music is carved into marble and used by everybody without the slightest alteration. You are better than this! Let the music of your projects be unique, let it breathe, and live through your audience. People will feel involved; they will recall and hum your themes – maybe even cover them on YouTube?
