Reminiscences

With troubled chords and unsettling textures, a full orchestra is summoned to establish a mysterious and hypnotic sense of longing. First violins deliver the main theme at 0:38, leading to an emotional opening in the middle section. Heavy percussions add layers of dramatic intensity for a compelling final crescendo. Suitable for dramas, introspective yet disturbing scenes a la Roque Banos’ The Machinist soundtrack.

Clouds Party

Fun and celebratory, a grand and colourful orchestration gives a sense of contagious energy. Magic is in the air, as the twisty dialogues between flute, oboe and brass remind us in the middle section. With a great impulse for discovery and adventure, it will suit both a Hollywood and Japanese cartoon style fast paced setting.

Sunrise

Melancholic and sweet, with a sense of yearning and heavy use of exotic interpolation of chords and melodies. Powerful as a big orchestra can be, it gains momentum at 1:20, always keeping the stakes high as a complicated love story would be. Will suit exotic and big Hollywood love stories, with ultimate love as overarching theme. The English Patient, Out of Africa, and even Indiana Jones are welcome here.

Bond on the Moon

Epic bondy stuff, with a slice of implicit darkness. A spy-themed track that takes the listener from a mysterious electronic intro to a fully orchestral instalment. It rests at 1:30 and then resumes to deliver a grand finale. Be warned, James Bond’s got a dark side.

Blossom Fade

Intimate and inspirational, with compelling piano punctuated with high frequencies. It starts with a slightly melancholic accent, and then builds into hopeful and uplifting regions, helped by dreamy orchestral strings and percussive elements. This would have been perfect for Spirited Away

Animal Ride

Mysterious and magical, a stylish musical journey that makes use of a full orchestra and percussion. Somewhat dark and whimsical, with quirky strings and woodwinds, it will bond fantastically with your Disney-like playful, quirky and amusing characters.

The Late Heavy Bombardment

Epic, slow-cooked emotional track with instances of orchestral strings and brass interjections, caged in a reassuring and straight drum beat. Poignant by design, it breaks at 1:55 and then resumes with balzato strings to create an intense and dramatic coda. An insteresting combo of Danny Elfman and Rondò Veneziano, this will beautifully suit film/game trailers, commercials, and tv shows.

Cluedo

Unexpected and relentless, with ostinato strings patterns and temperamental tempo changes that create a moody and fast paced sixties-like classical orchestration. Ideal for retro thrillers along the lines of Psycho and Vertigo.

Jonquils

Sweet simple piano and bells, joined by light string section. At 0:30 mins in there is a more pensive section, a feeling of hesitation, “will everything be ok?” but then we are warmly reassured from 1:05 mins in, with instrumentation that builds to a strong and triumphant end. Perfect music for, I don’t know, a feel good video about adopting a puppy? I see puppies. Damn those Andrex adverts.

Ladybirds

Delicate harmonies on strings, with later gentle percussion and theremin-like synthesiser.
