Summery electronic track. Synth build then underwater beats before a spacey synth break and a piano riff. Builds again to a bright, full synth journey through space. Weird, wobbly, breezy but with an edge, this track would suit a summer-in-the-city Film/TV sequence.

Piano & Carousel Mix 2
Gentle ad-length piano waltz. A dynamic piano solo that swoops and twirls delicately like an old-fashioned carousel. Romantic, hopeful and free, perfect for an advert where we’re being swept of our feet in a polite, merry dance.
Semi-invented Crime
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.
Black Stone (Suite)
Relaxed acoustic shuffle with hints of electronica. Acoustic guitar, shuffling drums and bright, fleeting electronic samples build to a steady laid-back groove, alternating between acoustic sections and more electronics-heavy breaks. Passionate, hopeful and romantic, would suit an intense emotional scene or a pensive onscreen road trip.
Vocal version is even more romantic, with breathy male vocals and tender lyrics.
Angel (Suite)
Driving, hopeful piano instrumental. Piano, acoustic guitar and muted percussion intro before the percussion takes off, galloping at a steady pace throughout. Subtle percussive electric guitar chord break before piano takes over, constantly building and reaching out for the finish line. Positive, energetic, upbeat and soul-searching, suitable for feel-good adverts, motivating music that will help you to follow your dreams.
Vocal version features female ‘aaahs’ and a American-style gentle male vocal.
Afterhours
Dark, grimey dance track. Percussive build up. Foreboding bass synth is contrasted with a playful cowbell-like drum sound to make this fun but slightly sinister nighttime track. Exciting, cheeky and full of anticipation, an after hours jam for the last revellers, dark and sweaty but keeps its cool. Would suit an ad for a youth fashion brand or for a hedonistic TV sequence.
Her
Emotional piano build. Solo piano motif joined by plucked strings, builds to include additional piano parts. Orchestral strings added add warmth. Flower Duet-style female vocal lends a classical sensibility and sense of drama before the piece returns to the simple piano/string motif. Searching, positive, caring and feel-good, like stepping out of the shadows into warm sunshine, perfect for a healthcare advert, or any product promoting a positive change and a happy, healthy life.
Keep Quiet (Suite)
Driving piano build. Slow piano intro quickly gathers pace. Strings, high hat drums and glockenspiel introduced, a slight pause before the dramatic uplift to soaring orchestral strings, insistent piano and determined drums. Hopeful, joyous and positive, suitable for a feel-good advert where everyone is a winner, or for bombastic TV sports coverage.
Solo Piano version available.
Version with No Drums available.
1 min and 30 sec ad length versions available.
Kouga
Cinematic track with Japanese elements. Sustained synth strings and a plucked Japanese-style melody on a hammer-dulcimer. Effects-laden, quacking synth break before returning to the regal, traditional-style melodic idea over anticipatory percussion. Reserved, expectant, hopeful and adventurous, perfect for a game soundtrack or for a fantasy-movie sequence featuring a noble, brave character setting off on an important, magical quest.
Xray Spex
Drum ‘n’ bass-influenced hyper pop. Laser synths bust out the intro, with anticipatory synth chords and repeated melody on high pitched synth. Tune drops with DnB beats, arpeggiated synth, fat synth chords, samples and whoosh effects. Excited and happy with a hint of thoughtful nostalgia, young, romantic, emotional Skrillex-style pop to suit fashion adverts or cool, contemporary TV/Doc sequences.
