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.
“I know, I’ll call this track “Happy Song”. Imaginative. But it gets straight to the point. And yes it IS relaxed and cheerful, with nice and easy acoustic guitars and a predictable pop-rock arrangement. Hey man, it’s not all bad, in fact it’s aaaaall good. Come and have a beer with me and my family. That is the power of Happy Song. Will fit corporate videos, product showcases, and scenes where a light positive music commentary is needed.
Simple melodic guitar and percussion with feelings of fantasy, magic and a hint of oriental. Beautiful arpeggios layer upon each other in positive waves, accompanied by echoing vibraphone/glockenspiel, threatening to launch into the stratosphere. However the organic instrumentation keeps one foot steadfastly in reality, and what a nice lush reality it is 🙂 Perfect for a brand doc about something delicate and refined, feels a bit like you are flying above green pastures.
Country violin instrumental with piano. Violin, oom-pah bass and drums and tinkling piano to start. Slide guitar introduced for a solo. Wistful violin returns. Sentimental, warm and wholly nostalgic, harking back to a bygone time, would suit an advert that’s keepin’ it country, or a TV/Film moment of cheesy reverie.
Violin-led country-folk instrumental. Folky violin melody with occasional harmonies soars over wistful slide guitar, gentle electric guitar, double bass and steady drums. Warm, fuzzy and sentimental, perfect for a slightly cheesy, Waltons-style, wholesome American TV show or nostalgic advert.
Beautiful glockenspiel sequences with classical guitar arpeggios. Joined by sighing deep cello lines. At 1:11 a simple pulse is introduced, progressing to full organic sounding beat with guitar strums. Searching, nostalgic, positive and dreamy.
Sweet, light and innocent plucked strings are joined by synth bass and kalimba. Happy and wistful.
The sound of a half-forgotten carnival, for harmoniums, toy piano and strings. Slow, steady, expressive and sad. Dramatic and slightly unwell.
Dark atmospheric piano elements with tambourine and other percussion. Grooving and dissonant, building with tense octave notes. Sounds like: Tom Waits’ soundtrack to Down By Law.
Back room farmyard instrumental, acoustic instruments with a tender yet mischievous melody. Folky but genre-defying. An extension of the soundtrack to Withnail & I.
