Piñata (Suite)
Fun brass and guitar romp. Drums and energetically strummed acoustic guitar intro with piano chords. Brass enters, playing a punchy, upbeat repeated phrase. Track builds, instruments doubled to an abrupt, triumphant finish. Fun, happy, energetic and celebratory, would suit a fun TV montage, our characters plotting a hilarious surprise, or the Bananas in Pyjamas planning a secret birthday party. Also suitable for feel-good family summer adverts.

The Happy and the Sad
Sweet, light and innocent plucked strings are joined by synth bass and kalimba. Happy and wistful.
Music for an Underground Circus
The sound of a half-forgotten carnival, for harmoniums, toy piano and strings. Slow, steady, expressive and sad. Dramatic and slightly unwell.
Monkey Dance
Toy pianos, xylophones and harmoniums evoke a mischievous dancing simian. Atonal elements make this a vaguely sinister piece. Something is going wrong in the toy world.
Kerugugs Homecoming
Comic high-drama, toybox symphony. An epiphanic moment. Bagpuss and co. get back home after stopping an asteroid colliding with the earth. Or something. Mega-silly symphony of kazoo, voice and accordion.
Kentish Plover
Triplet-feel dramatic orchestral refrain, with soft voices and repeating phrases. This is hilarious and highly dramatic at the same time. Perfect for an episode of Bagpuss, if Bagpuss was trying to fly a biplane to the moon. Includes real violins, voices, kazoo, accordion, wooden percussion and a whole lot of interesting phrasing.
A Favourite Place of Mine
Metal xylophones, evocative of memories and times gone by, with (later) hip-hop-esque percussion patterns.
Do it for the Kids
Young, celebratory, motivated and proud. Ukelele and percussion with pizzicato strings and glockenspiel develops into light orchestral movements with solo cello. Hopeful piano interlude with clock ticking sound then big finale. Medium pace.
Frozen Peaks
Soothing vocal track with tinkling glockenspiel accompaniment. A comforting wash of harp, glockenspiel, and a breathy chorus of warm vocals. Peaceful, serene, short and simple, perfect as a gentle TV ident, for reality TV montages or for a heartwarming holiday advert.
