Piñata (Suite)

Posted on July 25, 2015 by Music Supervisor

Fun brass and guitar romp. Drums and energetically strummed acoustic guitar intro with piano chords. Brass enters, playing a punchy, upbeat repeated phrase. Track builds, instruments doubled to an abrupt, triumphant finish. Fun, happy, energetic and celebratory, would suit a fun TV montage, our characters plotting a hilarious surprise, or the Bananas in Pyjamas planning a secret birthday party. Also suitable for feel-good family summer adverts.

African jazz instrumental. Snaking double bass intro, joined by jazz drums, vibraphone, electric guitar and keyboard playing a rhythmic motif. Change of rhythm, horn blasts then saxophone melody, subtle African-jazz style, effects-heavy electric guitar solo, brass noise before vibraphone motif returns and all play until the finish. Intriguing, exotic and sensual, with hints of Mulatu Astatke and a little Fela Kuti influence, would suit a travel documentary or Film/TV scene evoking the spirit of a hot night in urban 1970s Africa.

Oubliette (Suite)

Posted on May 30, 2015 by Music Supervisor

Gentle pensive piano track. Slow repeated piano motif, extra piano line added and subtly building orchestral strings. Thoughtful and reflective, sad yet hopeful, would suit an advert for insurance or healthcare, hope of a bright future in the face of today’s sadness and loss.

Piano Only version available.

1 min and 30 secs ad length versions available.

That’s for Eating With

Posted on May 18, 2015 by Music Supervisor

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.

Visiting Laila

Solo piano. Jazz chords straight out of a classic movie scene set in a smoky cavernous jazz club. Slow chordal movement at first, sweet and lyrical, moves to a confused romantic motif with some dissonance, chords grow in volume and intensity, a declaration of love. Back to the introductory chords, more relaxed now with hints of unsettling dissonance. Romantic, confused and reckless, a love letter to early jazz, on Film/TV, would suit a La La Land style, modern interpretation of heady jazz-age love.

Lush guitar production in this warm happy and carefree track. Rounded electric guitar is joined by a choir of female ahh voices, piano and drums. Imagine a sunny wholesome day out in the park with your best friends. Perfect advert music.

Uncoupled

Round bouncy synth in an arpeggiated monotone start, joined by organ and cheerful high synth. Building lightly with tiny cymbal strikes, then breaks down into a small organ section. Final section builds to a full beat but still has that gentle laid back feeling to it. Warm, gentle and reassuring.

Puncture

Posted on April 3, 2015 by jamie

Confident rock drums are joined by a growling bassline reminiscent of early artist “Peaches”. Groove continues with shrill synth string interjections and ends tidily. Straight to the point and no nonsense.

Making Your Point

Posted on March 24, 2015 by jamie

Medium-fast synthpop with vocal ahhs and oohs. Strong beats and violently happy, makes you want to run free and fast. Young, fiercely proud, pulse quickening and driven. Reminiscent of MGMT’s “Kids” but harder and faster.

Ex Tempate

Posted on March 21, 2015 by jamie

Soft emotive classical guitar is joined by soft glockenspiel, and low cello. Neutral, sweet and passive at first but gets more intense by degrees til it ends full of longing. Feels like unrequited love.
