Tonight We Drink Wine and Dance

Melancholy solo piano. Amélie-style minor oom-pah chords, growing in intensity and embellishment throughout the track. Another line of piano plays a lyrical melody above the regular chords. An energetic chorus brings a modulation and intricate break. Back to opening chords for a finish. Emotional and wretched, yet passionate, would suit an advert or TV scene requiring Gallic charm and impulsive, reckless emotion.

‘Underscore’ version features chords only, no melody line.

Feel-good piano, guitar and vocal track. Easy-going acoustic guitar and a groovy piano melody to start with jazzy finger snaps, tambourine and playful Hammond organ. Kids simple vocal scat enters, giving a Sesame Street vibe. Happy, content, bright and hopeful, a fun, laid-back ditty for quirky adverts with cute puppies, or as a kids TV theme tune.

60 sec, 30 sec and 15 sec ad length versions available.

Gentle hangdrum and percussion track. Sparse hangdrum, drone-like overtones joined by rhythmic drums and percussive shuffles reminiscent of Moondog. Calm, peaceful and chilled, perfect meditative background music for nature documentaries or introspective Film/TV scenes.

Happy piano build with vocals. Cute piano, keys, glockenspiel and hand clap intro. Anticipation builds with extra keyboards and piano chords. Female vocal ‘ooohs’ add a calming, dreamy quality. Excited, positive, relaxed and peaceful. Suitable for an advert full of anticipation that leads to a successful and calm resolution. Feels like a job well done: a beautifully painted room, a well-risen cake or a good night’s sleep.

Upbeat indie pop/rock instrumental. Driving drums, insistent guitars, solid bass guitar and celebratory horns. Anticipatory drum break, guitars re-enter lightly with a tropical vibe, back to all out groove. Bright, fun and happy,slick but heart-warming commercial pop/rock for sun-soaked travel adverts or good-natured reality TV.

Laid back country rock track. Funky electric guitar riff with solid bass guitar, steady drums and bright piano chords. Slightly psychedelic, slightly brit-pop but mostly country pop/rock instrumental, Oasis’ long-lost country album. Upbeat and happy-go-lucky like a cheeky cowboy, would suit relaxed adverts for American-style foodstuffs or an easy, breezy TV/Realty TV scene.

Epic electronic build with orchestral strings. Crackly intro, muted electronic build, powerful beats and glassy synths. Sustained, dramatic orchestral strings build to a pummelling electronic beat with glittering arpeggiated synth and a serious, choppy string section. A break before a fresh build. Solemn and driven yet hopeful, all out epic 90s vibes like Fatboy Slim’s ‘Right Here, Right Now’, would suit tense sports coverage, a dramatic advert, or sincere documentary TV.

Melodic orchestral string and drum build. Choppy orchestral strings play a bright melodic motif. Syncopated beats join, growing in volume and complexity. Break before lively orchestral strings and anticipatory beats kick off again. Builds to a summery climax. Positive, hopeful, happy and sincere, like an orchestral version of Dario G’s ‘Sunchyme’, euphoric and fun, perfect for emotional reality TV moments or excitable documentary TV scenes.

No nonsense rock ‘n’ roll. Powerful electric guitar intro riff, joined by drums and intense soloing guitar. Straight up drums with noodling electric guitar soloing in bursts. Lighter, more 60s vibe to the next section. Brash, bold and self-assured. Reminiscent of Neil Young’s more rock ‘n’ roll moments, or of a 1970s hyper-masculine rock band or Mick Jagger throwing shapes. A School of Rock-style solid jam for TV or Doc moments where strutting and playing air guitar are required and encouraged.

Sunny funk track. Funky Prince-like funk guitar intro, electric guitar funk riff with melodic bass guitar and consistent drums. Bright, whistling organ joins on top for the chorus. New section with warm 60s keyboard solo over a slower funk. Moved to a smooth, slightly Spanish guitar solo. A quiet guitar break then back to full chorus. Upbeat, joyful and positive, perfect for a TV montage or holiday advert, sunshine and holidays, playful abandon and laughs with friends.
