Z E N I T H - a Visual Album by Umraan Syed and Sonic Architectz

Описание: Z E N I T H is an expansive artistic undertaking that merges music, film, and emotional narrative into one cohesive journey. The visual album explores themes of struggle, identity, transformation, and self-actualization through the story of “Spaceman,” a symbolic character representing all of humanity.

“Z E N I T H is the story of struggle, escape, and return. It speaks to anyone who has ever felt lost and needed to find their way back home. This is more than a screening, it is an experience built to stay with you long after the credits roll,” says Syed.

The Z E N I T H Visual Album first debuted during an immersive premiere event at CineCity Studios in Chicago, bringing together influencers, media, creatives, and music enthusiasts for a first look at the ambitious multimedia project. The premiere showcased Syed’s artistic evolution while celebrating collaboration, storytelling, and community.

The project was supported by an extensive network of creative collaborators, cinematographers, musicians, and production specialists. Event coordination for the premiere was led by Symphonic Minds, with significant production and creative support provided by the film’s Co-Director, Enas Syed, who played a critical role in shaping both the visual and experiential elements of the project.

“It’s called the Z E N I T H Visual Album Experience because it incorporates so much more than music or a film element. The audience is gradually immersed in the multi-dimensional world of Spaceman, packed with emotion, human trials, and unforeseen triumph,” says Enas Syed.
