Bass guitar introduces a fuller section with solid drums and more guitar. Harpsichord-like synth break imitates the piano chords, all instruments rejoin. Determined, driven and serious, the perfect no-nonsense track for an investigative documentary or neutral commercial.

Kronos
Piano and orchestral string build. Orchestral strings undulate under soaring strings building to a powerful percussive section with vocal-like electronic samples and continuing epic strings. Quiet section with vocals then percussion rejoins building anticipation and tension to a multi-layered textural soundscape. Contrasting soft piano section to finish. Strange, dark and intriguing, pagan sounds reminiscent of singular Scandinavian pop like the Knife. Perfect for an onscreen threat or a bold, epic and uncanny film or TV scene.
In Harmony
Melancholy piano and electronic drone track. Pulsating electronics, laser synth sounds, fleeting sound FX and sparse piano chords. Piano grows and fleeting electronics steady and form an ambient drone. Sparse beats join. Snare drum and emotional piano chords come and go over a wave of atmospheric drones, building texture with an electric guitar drone. Unpredictable, downbeat and unstable, subtle emotional background music for a dark documentary or TV show.
Ghost in the Machine
Ambient, uplifting guitar track with electronic and orchestral elements. Woodwind intro like a call to the wind. Atmospheric, bleepy electronics seep in, joined by heavily effects-laden electric guitar cutting through the dreamy atmosphere. Horns and woodwind add to the growing soundscape. Incongruous electronics and spacey synths add off-kilter interest. Woozy, peaceful and meditative, a hopeful, enveloping atmosphere suited to TV Drama, inspiring documentaries or epic adverts.
Ground Shaking
Rhythmic percussion track. Punchy drums and tight beats call and answer. Dynamic percussive phrases grow to an energetic combination of drums, beats and electronic vinyl scratching-style effects. High-octane, upbeat and determined, a powerful, confident track for a snappy advert for a fashion brand or drinks product.
Eclipse
Breezy electronic track. Fat 90s synths ring out over a steady dance beat. Tinkling electronic effects create texture, the pitch moves up and discords ring out. Counter melody on synth and bouncier beats bring a laid back energy. Fun, chilled and happy, a stress-free 90s throwback, kind of cheesy but fun, a sophisticated Vengaboys meets Pet Shop Boys.
The Journey
Immersive synth track. Arpeggiated bouncy beats and glistening, anticipatory synth chords ring out over a whooshing bed of warm synths. Driven, determined and quietly epic, perfect Chariots of Fire-style tension-building music before a cheesy, triumphant victory.
La Rugiada Del Mattino
New Age hangdrum track. Sparse fragments of hangdrum melody, while subtle percussion builds underneath. Anticipatory, ambient and suspenseful, perfect for a tense or mysterious Film/TV/Documentary scene.
Otto
Atmospheric 80s-style synthscape. Broken, questioning synth chords, like something out of Twin Peaks, seeming calm but building tension with shifting chords. Later added electric guitar, electronic sound effects and sparkling synths lines. Mysterious, unsettling and yet peaceful at times, lulling you in to a false sense of security. Suitable for melodramatic Film/TV moments, or a cheesy advert parodying this.
Redemption
Piano track with orchestral strings and electronics. Sparse piano melody accompanied by an electronic pulse. Pulse replaced by orchestral strings, suspended lazily above. Gentle woodwind added to the mix. Soft counterpoint of strings, keys and wind. Pastoral, reflective and subtly powerful, suitable for a nostalgic advert soundtrack or a heartfelt TV/Film scene.
