Lounge jazz track. Gentle strummer acoustic guitar, fleeting synth fx, subtle drums with laid back jazz keyboard melodies on top. Occasional electronic and vocal samples wash over the shimmering soundscape. Chilled, positive and laid back. Air-does-Ibiza. Would suit an easy breezy advert for stylish beverages or white sofas, or as background music for soothing TV.
A 60s American-style finger-picking bluegrass guitar piece. A warm full guitar sound. Simple major chords are embellished and augmented in a finger-picking style, like an American Richard Thompson. Full, round, warm, rich and hopeful, perfect for a title sequence, an ‘Inside Llewyn Davis’-style 60s film/tv show soundtrack or adverts for life-affirming, healthy products or services.
Folky guitar and violin instrumental. Major broken acoustic guitar chords and subtle bass notes joined by a sentimental folk-style violin melody. Added guitar adds second melody line before a sustained final violin note. Relaxed, nostalgic, positive, warm and a bit retro, this easy-going melody would suit a long advert, tv shows depicting rural life or an American film set on a vast, beautiful landscape.
Relaxed jazz track with country influences. Laid back saxophone melody over softly strummed acoustic guitar double bass and subtle drums. Strummed banjo and extra drums added, building the texture. Chilled, calm and content, an easy-going jazz melody to lull the listener into a country reverie. Perfect for a family-friendly Film/TV scene featuring a little girl and her best friend, the curious dog as they amble around on light-hearted adventures.
Bed track is a No Sax version.
Laid back lounge track. Shimmering synths, horns samples, shuffling drums and a breezy acoustic guitar riff. Vibraphone adds a touch of jazz and a tinkling brightness. Balearic vibes, sunshine and sparkling turquoise waters. Cool, easy-going and calming. Perfect background music for a holiday advert: sipping on a refreshing cocktail, watching the burning orange sunset in a dream destination. Or suitable as relaxing background music for factual TV.
An uplifting love song with or without vocals. Acoustic guitar and kick drum punch out a rhythmic start, building anticipation. We ease into the song, verse then chorus, then verse with added piano and drums followed by more powerful, rousing chorus. The break maintains this intensity before it’s taken down a notch for one chorus before bursting into a heady but tender finale. Inspiring, positive, romantic, and full of breathless excitement, this emotional grower would suit earnest, all-American films or TV dramas. Our characters, finally reunited, having been kept apart by a series of misunderstandings, decide “Let’s just kick it off…” and embrace love.
The instrumental version is an inspiring guitar and piano build, perfect for rousing, feel-good adverts.
Chiming guitar track with female vocals. Interweaving electric and acoustic guitars, reverb and delay effects, like an indie guitar track. Breathy female vocals introduced. Guitars duel and layer up, dark and brooding, an instrumental Interpol with slightly jazzy female vocals. African jazz and Spanish guitar influences. Mysterious and atmospheric, would suit a spellbinding TV/Film/Doc scene, spans cultures and eras, a cyclical guitar meditation.
Uplifting acoustic guitar instrumental. Fast-paced strummed acoustic guitar riff. Drums and additional guitar lines added, sounding like light humming, building a sense of anticipation and joy. Hand claps, bass guitar and extra percussion add depth. Ends of quietly triumphant cymbal crash. Happy, carefree and optimistic, clothes hanging out to dry on a fresh summer’s day, a yappy dog frolicking in the grass, suitable for an easy-going, hopeful montage on TV/Film, or on an advert for a friendly kids product or service.
An upbeat acoustic version of ‘Joy to the World’. Starts with layered vocal ‘ooohs’ accompanied by ukelele, drums, bass guitar and hand claps. This reduces to percussive rhythm on ukelele and drums with vocals. ‘Ooohs’ re-enter after the chorus with some bright ukelele chords. The verse again accompanied by percussion only. At the final chorus, all instruments enter for a rousing, joyous ending. Fun, warm, happy and hopeful. A heartwarming, modern update of a classic Christmas song, this would be great in a modern Christmas film or tv special. Subtly seasonal.
A breezy instrumental using hip hop samples. Solo, hip hop-style drums introduce the track. Vinyl scratching and vocal samples join in. A breezy keyboard and bass guitar line enter with a laid back groove that lasts for the whole track. A recurring motif of acoustic guitar samples and a drum break midway break up the steady repeated keyboard chord progression. Cool, fresh, relaxed and a bit edgy, this track would be suitable for travel/music docs, tv or film evoking breezy inner city life, or 90s nostalgia trips.
