Loutar

Improvisation on loutar, an oud-like stringed instrument. Sparse improvised phrases growing to more melodic parts. Hypnotic, melancholy and raw, like the soundtrack to a western movie at first before taking on a North African feel when the melodic sections kick in. Perfect documentary soundtrack.

Cura Saz

Turkish saz instrumental. Improvisatory solo on Turkish saz, resembling the Arabic oud, as well as lute or guitar. Improvisations end on repeated refrains. Melancholy and meditative, bringing to mind desert plains and traditional ways of life, imagine a Spaghetti Western set in Turkey. Perfect folk music for an Arabic or Turkish documentary.

Impressions of a Choice

Lush orchestral track. Simple, questioning piano introduction leads to sweeping, pastoral strings before a full orchestral mid-section with developed piano melodies and playful woodwind and brass blasts. 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. Anticipation builds, breaks into a vast hopeful section with a full chorus of choppy strings, shifting to calmer sustained strings. Emotional, romantic and full of sweeping positivity and wondrous expectation, perfect for a charity campaign or heartwarming advert.

Forerunner

Monstrous drum ‘n’ bass track. Sweeping electronics roar like baby dinosaurs, introduce descending arpeggiated synths before a drum’n’bass/trap hybrid beat lands. Intense, bold and aggressive, dark beats for a documentary or film sequence depicting a cacophonous alternate reality.

Gone

Dreams

Chilled, sultry R’n’B. Bright, warm jazzy piano chord samples introduce a laid back beat. Mid-section pauses for calm with rain and thunder samples and sparse chords. A punchy string section with Latin vibes, sensual bass line and 80s electric guitar bring a surprising change. Finishes like a lullaby with gentle strings, soft beats and the warm scratch of vinyl. Retro and nostalgic with a fresh sound, perfect 80s Hip Hop/R’n’B throwback to add warmth and Nuyorican Soul to a TV scene or edgy documentary.

Deep in the Underground

Dark drum ‘n’ bass track. Sparse intro of sound effects and pulsating beats. Faster beats join with squelches and echoing hits and an electronic pulse. Slow, hallucinatory mid-section with scary vocal samples. Tune returns with wavy synths and crunchy, threatening beats. Murky and menacing, sparse, edgy D’n’B for a frightening Film/TV scene or doom-laden documentary.
