Atmospheric build. Sparse piano intro with string murmurings. Sustained strings become a drone before a drop out. Piano break before tense percussion, shakers and expressive violin join for an intriguing, suspenseful and nerve-wracking build, steady and mid-tempo throughout. Mysterious, strange and beguiling with a hint of the East, suitable for tense movie moments or atmospheric, threatening documentary background music.

Mercury Piano
Solo piano track. Quiet, chordal beginning develops into an elaborate repetitive motif into a more percussive section with polyphonic rhythms. Tentative then dramatic, this piece would suit an advert for a life-saving service or a tense Film/TV soundtrack.
Further In
Smooth, dreamy 90s-style track with shuffling trip hop beats. With shifting synths and melancholy orchestral strings, it feels like we’re getting emotional by the ocean. Woozy electric guitar is like an British alternative to surf music. Chilled, warm but with an edge, evokes the spirit of the 90s – Sade and Morcheeba vibes all the way. Perfect for a smooth advert or a steamy Richard Curtis romance.
Arcade Fireesque
A rousing instrumental with a chiming piano and driving bass guitar. Reminiscent of Arcade Fire, with a sense of happiness, excitement, celebration and euphoria. Suitable for corporate, and campaigns that are success stories.
Alabaster
A thoughtful modern ballad filled with futuristic electronic triphop influences. On one hand tension, on the other serenity, suitable for post-credits scenes e.g. in a sci-fi drama.
