Heart Motion

Summery electronic track. Fat, warm, wobbly synth chords introduce a cute helium synth melodic motifs. The chunky beat drop, synth melody is doubled, fuller synths join. Twinkly harp-like break followed by scratchy synth, Skrillex-style D’n’B rhythms and high pitched synths. Modern, futuristic and utopian, positive, saccharine synthpop for fresh youthful adverts or fun Factual/Entertainment TV.

When I Run

Jazz-pop instrumental. Drum roll, Rhodes piano intro, then a punchy brass riff. Steady drum and keyboard groove before the riff returns. Trumpet solo. Laid back, upbeat and positive, like a slightly cheesy theme tune to a jolly American sitcom.

Drum ‘n’ bass-influenced hyper pop. Laser synths bust out the intro, with anticipatory synth chords and repeated melody on high pitched synth. Tune drops with DnB beats, arpeggiated synth, fat synth chords, samples and whoosh effects. Excited and happy with a hint of thoughtful nostalgia, young, romantic, emotional Skrillex-style pop to suit fashion adverts or cool, contemporary TV/Doc sequences.

Bouncy electronic pop track. Fat summery synths, electronic beats and male vocal sample ‘Hey’s set the upbeat tone. Vinyl-scratching samples, more bouncy synths and hip hop beats create a fun but edgy summery vibe. Determined, cool and a bit flashy, a slight cheesy Calvin Harris synth feel, perfect for brash adverts or Hollyoaks-style TV interludes.

Golden Now

Upbeat indie pop/rock instrumental. Driving drums, insistent guitars, solid bass guitar and celebratory horns. Anticipatory drum break, guitars re-enter lightly with a tropical vibe, back to all out groove. Bright, fun and happy,slick but heart-warming commercial pop/rock for sun-soaked travel adverts or good-natured reality TV.

Laid back country rock track. Funky electric guitar riff with solid bass guitar, steady drums and bright piano chords. Slightly psychedelic, slightly brit-pop but mostly country pop/rock instrumental, Oasis’ long-lost country album. Upbeat and happy-go-lucky like a cheeky cowboy, would suit relaxed adverts for American-style foodstuffs or an easy, breezy TV/Realty TV scene.

Riviera Swing

Melancholic with a playful edge, with honest acoustic guitars and a piercing violin performance that create a nice tune with a middle/southern European feeling. Will play well both in slightly over the top romantic comedies and generally in applications where a classy yet stereotypical representation of romance is needed.

Sincere and relaxed, with piano, glockenspiel, and vocals that make for an acoustic pop song. It follows a common structure stanza/chorus/stanza/chorus, alternating vocals with glockenspiel to sustain the refrain. Peaceful and serene, it will play well as title track and background for advertising.

Warm and sincere, an ambient episode with traces of tender melancholic elements. Emotional acoustic arpeggios and evocative solos of trumpet and acoustic guitar create a wonderful sense of longing in space and time. As the title suggests, there is indeed a south American edge here, but definitely more in a calm-sunset-on-a-beach sausade way than carnival party time.

Energetic with a modern feeling, featuring a compelling mix of electro synths and pop-rock instrumentation that deliver a perfect combo of inspirational coolness without getting too much in the way. Reminds a lesser version of some Coldplay hits. Ideal for bouncy corporate and inspirational videos.
