Tonight We Drink Wine and Dance

Posted on June 13, 2017 by Music Supervisor

Melancholy solo piano. Amélie-style minor oom-pah chords, growing in intensity and embellishment throughout the track. Another line of piano plays a lyrical melody above the regular chords. An energetic chorus brings a modulation and intricate break. Back to opening chords for a finish. Emotional and wretched, yet passionate, would suit an advert or TV scene requiring Gallic charm and impulsive, reckless emotion.

‘Underscore’ version features chords only, no melody line.

Laid back reggae/jazz instrumental. 1920s jazz meets reggae rhythms. Skanking piano, breezy drums, relaxed, smooth brass, reggae rhythms with vintage jazz mood and flourishes. Nostalgic, retro, relaxed and calming, would suit a 1920s-themed onscreen party or an advert for an easy-going, fun summer event.

Sierra Madre

Posted on June 11, 2017 by Music Supervisor

Upbeat dub reggae/jazz/Balkan mix. Energetic vocal exclamation opens the track. Steady upbeat skanking on guitar joined by laid back saxophone, intermittent piano, ramshackle drums and bold vocal samples. Fun and energetic, but sunny and relaxed, would suit an advert for something synonymous with summer or a TV/Film playful party scene.

Even Once (Suite)

Posted on June 11, 2017 by Music Supervisor

Wistful solo jazz piano. A sustained note intro like raindrops followed by jazz chords, piano trills and a full melody. Pastoral, breathless and new, calling to mind the natural landscape, would suit a thoughtful film/doc/TV scene passing over a lush landscape refreshed and awake after a storm or a long winter.

Multi-instrumental version with warm strings, mellow saxophone and shuffling percussion joined by tinkling piano and a freak folk chorus of faraway voices, calling to mind Wickerman-style pagan England.

Padua’s Bird

Posted on June 11, 2017 by Music Supervisor

Solo jazz piano. Early jazz of the American South meets Tin Pan Alley with some Nuyorican soul, an opening chordal melody elaborated on through dynamic piano solos. Expansive, joyous, dizzy with the possibilities of the big city, would suit a film/doc/TV scene evoking a vibrant multicultural history.

Below The Pits

Posted on June 11, 2017 by Music Supervisor

Pensive solo piano waltz. Waltz rhythm to begin with with a mournful, romantic accompanying melody. Opens into an oom pah pah section with tinkling high piano notes before returning to the original wistful theme. Sombre and melancholy yet idealistic and romantic, European in style and mood, calling to mind French clowns with sad faces, this would suit a scene in a moody European film or a thoughtful documentary.

Bleepy sustained electronic and orchestral string track. Sparse electric guitar, tense plucked strings, soaring orchestral strings, subtle tinkling electronics and an electronic swell before giving way to a piano and string outro. Delicate, thoughtful and intriguing, suitable for an dynamic advert for an exciting, innovative product or for a suspenseful Film/TV scene.

Sunrise Acoustic

Posted on June 9, 2017 by Music Supervisor

Uplifting acoustic guitar track. Gentle, hopeful acoustic guitar riff, sparse drum beats punctuate the melody. Shaker percussion, piano chords and subtle bass guitar introduced. A slight build then back to the opening mood. Mellow, warm and positive, evoking the potential of America’s wide open plains. Would suit a cosy TV sequence or a advert for a company who want to take life’s problems off your hands. Sunshine after the rain.

Dark atmospheric electronic track. Crunchy beats, dark piano samples and tense electronic samples. Brooding, menacing and threatening, a dark action film soundtrack set in an unforgiving world.

The Art of Playtime

Posted on May 17, 2017 by Music Supervisor

Joyful piano and acoustic guitar track. Tinkling piano and twinkling glockenspiel are joined by gently strummed guitar, subtle strings and happy hand claps. Innocent, sweet and positive, suitable for wholesome adverts offering hope and happiness, sunny days and smiles.
