Sunrise in an Alien Zoo

Mysterious, epic and progressive, a slow chordal progression with bassey undertones to an electronic pulse, to 3:44 where more distinct melodic elements appear. A quiet breakdown at around 6:00, before a definitive lead electronic riff appears at 6:30 to build in complexity to a relaxed electronic climax. Basically you probably would listen to this if you took some psychedelics, or at least listening to this will make you feel like you are on some sort of psychedelics. Imagine the soundtrack to a robotic world fizzing with colour and happiness, with no humans. Ahhh what a lovely thought.

Chrysalis

Dark and disturbing, with dissonant synth pads and ethereal choirs that evoke a visceral and hypnotic feeling. It alternates rhythmical patterns with ambient loops. Trippy and acid mix of exotic flavours and modern beats that will happily take your character to non-linear realities.

Ambient Background

Meditative and hypnotic, with a dark smooth bass drone and magical flashes of piano inserts that touch an emotional, slightly sad and tender dimension. Introvert characters look at their past and yearn for a better future.

More than Hard

Dreamy and repetitive, with light synth pads and a gentle yet firm electric guitar that create an ambient episode with a chilled overall feeling. Eighties influences and modern chill out beats mixed together that will fit corporate videos and product showcases, but also title sequences and b-movies.

Dooms and Chills

Mysterious and saturnine, with filling bassy drones and evoking swarms of synths that create a sense of uneasiness and dark anticipation. Steady until 2:50, it then builds up to a more loaded setting at 4:00, and then delivers different thrilling flavours shifting every couple of minutes. Great for thrillers, horrors and psychological settings.

Before My Time is Done

Hypnotic and earthy, with soft percussive elements, acoustic guitars and a mellow leading fiddle that take us into world/folk territories without being too flashy. Sounds like venturing into the wild unknown but you have all your marbles with you and you know what your are doing. See, if only Leonardo had this music in The Revenant, he wouldn’t have been molested by a bear.

Bowed Softness

Dark, highly atmospheric and gently driving and urgent. Brushed strings, soft beats and droning bass synths create a powerful ambient atmosphere. Constantly moving and pushing through in a place of darkness, the tension gradually starts resolving to an uneasy sense of hope.

Dreamy and ethereal music with a heavenly and transcendent new age feel. Evocative and hypnotic, it evolves toward a positive resolution (3:20), while keeping its instrumentation consistent. Brain Eno meets Blade Runner, this is ideal for nature, science, space documentaries and whatnot.

Uneasy tones, starting with radio static and joined by metallic morphing harmonies. Perfect backdrop for suspense and drama. Expansive and desolate.

Sparse piano and birdsong build into a warm positive atmosphere with added synth pads. Feelings of wellbeing, relaxation and peace, gradually crescendoing to finish.
