Four short loopable electronic soundscapes. Vast, dreamlike sound plains of sweeping synth sounds, glitches, muted beats and electronic rainbows. Hazy and enveloping, ephemeral sound snapshots to suit documentaries and intriguing television.
Ambient Piano features a piano chord progression and hazy strings and synth – a warm wall of sound reminiscent of Massive Attack’s Teardrop.
Reverb-heavy dreamy guitar track. Melodic bass guitar, jangly guitar chords, guitar feedback and shuffling 90s drums. Dreamy, blissed out and intimate, would suit a sensual advert for an immersive, heady experience, or a thoughtful Film/TV sequence.
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.
A free jazz build on piano, drums and orchestral strings. Shifting sustained orchestral strings growing increasingly mysterious, jazz double bass and bongos. Jazz drums introduced, snatches of solo melody on violin. Taken down a notch by a cool drum solo before a violin and piano take solos accompanied by shuffling drums and energetic bongos in an improvised free jazz homage. Ambient at first, then searching, mysterious and intriguing and intense and finally reckless and daring, suitable for TV/Film tension-building or for a thrilling moment of release.
Atmospheric piano track with mechanical sound effects. Clunking and whirring background sound effects, like the inner workings of a pocket watch and the tapping of typewriter keys, underpin slow piano chords and lyrical orchestral strings, growing in emotional intensity throughout with added strings and more melodic, powerful piano. Introspective, pensive and nostalgic, would suit a TV/Film sequence set in 19th century Paris, or a scene evoking the mechanical workings of a dark, lonely city.
Pt 2 features sparse piano as well as harp and pizzicato violin strings.
Moody downbeat electronic track. Intro of shimmering synth and finger-snap-style beat. Arpeggiated synth melody and underwater beats are joined by syncopated cowbell – sparse percussion over a wash of silvery synth. Bassy synth joins, adding depth to the track. Moody, downbeat, relaxed, head in the clouds, a laidback track, suitable for cool contemporary advertising as well as Film/TV.
Easy-going acoustic guitar track. Gentle acoustic guitar finger-picking with soft piano chords beneath. Breathy vocal ‘Ooohs’ join at the chorus. Next time round more vocals with harmonies and fuller plucked guitar. Hopeful, positive, sweet and romantic, a bit Dawson’s Creek, and as wholesome as the Gilmore Girls, perfect for a saccharine advert or thoughtful, pastoral TV/Film scene.
Melancholy piano track with strings. Quiet, minimal piano intro, building in intensity and volume to an undulating piano section accompanied by slowly building sustained orchestral strings. Magical, tinkling piano break before the fast-moving piano returns. Orchestral strings build and build, almost drowning out the piano. Delicate piano outro. Melancholy, moving and powerful, a bit Michael Nyman-esque, a cinematic track to suit bombastic adverts or heightened TV/Film scenes.
Atmospheric pulsating electronics that turn into an indie-style track. Psychedelic Broadcast-like electronic drone build up like radio static with pulsating synth, flickering beats and anticipatory piano chords. Gives way to a driving indie section with punchy drums bass guitar softened by synthy electronics. Intimate, mysterious, cool and romantic, this track brings curious anticipation and then colourful euphoria- playful uncertainty before the joy and excitement of a life-changing moment.
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.
