Beautiful glockenspiel sequences with glassy synth in background. Joined by plucked classical guitar – very anticipatory. Stays on a soft dreamy tip until 2:30, where it breaks down with quick percussive glockenspiel. Finally breaks into a light beat at 3:53 with harmonising arpeggios, then builds slightly with synth pads. Simple guitar arpeggio outro.
Percussive guitar and staccato glockenspiel accompanied by horns. Builds with syncopated percussion. Thoughtful, awake and intelligent with soft emotions. Sweet and brightly nostalgic.
Soft emotive classical guitar is joined by soft glockenspiel, and low cello. Neutral, sweet and passive at first but gets more intense by degrees til it ends full of longing. Feels like unrequited love.
Comedy for toy instruments. Sounds like: A riot of toys dancing around the tree at Christmas.
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.
Delicate harmonies on strings, with later gentle percussion and theremin-like synthesiser.
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.
Begins with quasi-gamelan, becoming a dreamlike, wobbly guitar piece with gentle funk rhythms.
Metal xylophones, evocative of memories and times gone by, with (later) hip-hop-esque percussion patterns.
Short exerpt. Dramatic, powerful piercing orchestral strings and pounding percussion. Serious, dramatic and regal, perfect for an intriguing, thrilling short advert, a mystery in 20 seconds.
