Overtime
Chilled trap/hip hop track. Summery Roland-esque organ sounds and quavering church-like synth strings build anticipation before trap beat drops. Devotional piano chords add to the gospel vibes. Zealous male vocal samples at intervals and deep bassy beats interspersed with breezy hi-hat interludes. Laid back, warm and uplifting, inspiring and reverent yet cool, like Kanye West’s Sunday service, hip hop and gospel influences, perfect for hopeful pop culture documentaries for adverts or calmly climactic TV sequences.
Floating Elements
Reflective electronic track. Thoughtful warped piano and laid back beats. Expands and grows sonically with vocal and string samples with jazz piano bringing elegance. 90s trip hop vibes, feeling like Massive Attack covering the Wallace Collection’s ‘Daydream’. Dreamy, peaceful and beautiful, chill background music for a documentary or a blissed out advert for summer pleasure.
Sahara (Ney version)
Arabic ney track. Intermittent ney phrases with elaborate ornamentation and an improvisatory feel, accompanied by a tense drone, anticipatory percussion and subtle snaking string parts. Mysterious, tense and thoughtful, an unsettling build, powerful background music for a documentary set in the Arab world.
Version available without percussion.
Oud versions available.
The Party Wall
Ambient electronics with piano and strings. Bleepy electronic intro with subtle, chiming piano notes cutting through the soundscape.

Tense, ambient and emotional, dramatic background music for a hard-hitting documentary or uneasy TV drama.
Party of Alt
Tense piano and string tracks with effects. Murky and atmospheric, repeated, tension-building piano melody over stark, melancholy strings and a wash of cool ambience. Tense, nerve-wracking and uneasy, perfect haunting soundscape for a crime documentary or a melancholy TV drama.
Impressions of a Choice
Lush orchestral track.

Hopeful, romantic and soaringly positive, 1980s soap opera meets the Animals of Farthing Wood, romance with a dash of danger.
Tide of Feelings
Emotional pop/rock. Drum build with sparse piano chords. Violin-like drawn-out samples mournfully yearn over the drums and piano. Strings flutter build to expressive vocal samples and more string layers. Enveloping, romantic and thoughtful, would suit a Film/TV scene of great emotional and romantic tension.
Flow of Thoughts
Sweeping string and piano track. Fluttering strings and ticking percussion over single, hopeful piano notes.

Everybody’s Got One (Suite)
Retro TV theme tune with saxophone. A football whistle and hint of samba drums gives way to a mellow, homely piano chord sequence, with jaunty horn section, saxophone passionate soloing and a lush string build to meet the end. Comforting, positive and reassuring, like a 90s American family sitcom theme tune, cosy, retro and warm, think ‘Who’s the Boss?’ for good old-fashioned family japes.
