Requiem for L Lawson

Live instrumental acoustic guitar saga. Raw blues/folk acoustic guitar melody, repetitive melodic motifs. Lyrical mid-section to a more tense, frantic part, alternating between drama and calm moments. End section is like something out of a Western film, tense and sparse, with dramatic slide guitar, to a hopeful finger-picking final section. Sombre, dramatic and epic with moments of light, the nature of the live recording adding interesting imperfections. Different sections would suit various Film/TV/Documentary moments, would suit an American road trip or a nature documentary explore the American Wild West.

Cute retro video game music. Fat synth arpeggios and high pitched synth intro before a head-bopping blobby synth and beat section with cutesy synth flourishes. Ridiculously, relentlessly happy and positive, 8-bit sunshine and rainbows, suitable for an upbeat advert for a fun event or product.

Upbeat electronic track with vocal samples. Sun-soaked synths, laid-back trap beats and helium balloon vocals. Summery, quirky and urban, suited to adverts for youth clothing brands, or TV series based in concrete jungles in the heat of summer.

Epic orchestral soundtrack. Cinematic soaring strings, choppy dynamic violins, triumphant horns and rumbling percussive flourishes. Quieter section features female wordless vocals, chugging percussion and strings before a busier horn and string section to finish. Proud, dignified and victorious, suited to a classic blockbuster action film or and advert for an epic computer game, or a bombastic event.

Cinematic orchestral track. Rumbling percussion, horn blasts, soaring orchestral strings and disruptive glitches, play out over a futuristic battlefield. Dramatic and threatening but hopeful, would suit a wartime thriller set in a dystopian future or an advert evoking a challenge of epic proportions.

Epic percussive build. Pounding drum intro, more percussion added, building layers of rhythms and heightening the tension. Full beat established, drops to melodic drum break, before full pounding percussion resumes. Excited, driven and determined, a tribal feel, calling to mind Asian music traditions, to suit epic, ambitious film soundtracks and mounting tension on screen.

Four short loopable electronic soundscapes. Vast, dreamlike sound plains of sweeping synth sounds, glitches, muted beats and electronic rainbows. Hazy and enveloping, ephemeral sound snapshots to suit documentaries and intriguing television.

Ambient Piano features a piano chord progression and hazy strings and synth – a warm wall of sound reminiscent of Massive Attack’s Teardrop.

Joyful piano and acoustic guitar track. Tinkling piano and twinkling glockenspiel are joined by gently strummed guitar, subtle strings and happy hand claps. Innocent, sweet and positive, suitable for wholesome adverts offering hope and happiness, sunny days and smiles.

Energetic electric guitar romp. Starts with a bang. Solid guitar riff, wild guitar solo, stomping drums turned up to 11 throughout. Powerful, brazen and in-your-face, a high-octane track for an advert with attitude.

Reverb-heavy dreamy guitar track. Melodic bass guitar, jangly guitar chords, guitar feedback and shuffling 90s drums. Dreamy, blissed out and intimate, would suit a sensual advert for an immersive, heady experience, or a thoughtful Film/TV sequence.
