That’s for Eating With

Quirky instrumental. Dramatic opening, sustained keys and brass, sounds like the electronic rainbow blasts of Animal Collective. Gives way to a meandering jazz saxophone joined by a brass blast then an unexpected quirky percussive section with piano and a big build, all instruments in, like the finale of a stadium rock concert. Sparse breathy saxophone section before another epic blast of noise. Solo sax then all instruments in, strings, drums, percussion, vocals and brass with drum crashes and wallops before a peaceful end. Bombastic and epic with slow, thoughtful sections, a fun mix of styles and moods, would suit a silly Film/TV scene humorous advert for a bonkers product.

Dog Sled

Melodicas, Mandolin, strings, whistling and – get this – dog-like Inuit singing combine to create a rhythmic, snowy landscape atmosphere. Melancholy, otherworldly and humorous.

Theme 2 – Utopia

Fantasy synth track. Soft echoing synths, like hesitant but emphatic strings, slow, beautiful and suspenseful. Perfect for nature docs or to accompany dreamlike visuals.

Mithras

Slow-moving, quirky clarinet and string track. Building anticipation with low, pizzicato strings and a harsh, quacking clarinet line. Suitable for nature/wildlife docs or a mysterious, curious, comedic TV moment.

To Quetta

Frenetic, rhythmic percussion over tense, sparse piano chords and Middle Eastern-style melancholy strings and scatterings of oud. Strange, unsettling and sad, suitable for a tense, searching documentary, or disorientating TV/Film scene.

Kidnap In Karachi Part 2

Mournful string track. Atmospheric noise, sad strings and heavy piano play a desolate melody. Unsettling, resonant background noise brings a threatening new dimension. Supernatural, doom-laden and bleak, funereal music for negative adverts or hopeless TV/Film scenes.

Kidnap In Karachi Part 1

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.

Jalsa

Sitar-like drones introduce expectant beats and excited tambourine. Middle Eastern-style earthy strings play snatches of melody with acoustic guitar. Tense, suspenseful and mysterious, would suit a TV drama/Film set in a hot Middle Eastern country or a playful advert for foods from this region.

Singing Motorbikes

Spanish guitar intro with samples of motorbike sounds, along with uplifting Beirut-like horns and string samples and finger snap percussion. Anticipatory, atmospheric and exotic, would suit an advert set in a city packed with people, this soundscape the refreshing respite from the sweltering city heat and overcrowding.
