Gypsies

Upbeat, bluesy rock and roll with bass and powerful drums. Hand-clap and kick drum intro build to a percussive stomp. Blues-rock electric guitar and bass guitar tear it up before a quieter interlude featuring a passionate rockin’ guitar solo. Back to the stomp before an abrupt end. Brash, bold, angry and a bit funny, suitable for an upbeat advert for an exciting, life-affirming product or for film/tv sequences where our character resolves to make a brave and positive change.

Dusk Till Dawn

Atmospheric electronic track. Reverb-laden piano, church-like reverberations with delicate, sparse electric guitar and fleeting electronics added. Orchestral strings play out sustained notes with single, bending violin notes crying out on top. Downbeat, melancholy, pensive but with a hopeful nostalgia, like wandering home through empty streets in the middle of the night, perfect for a reflective TV/Doc/Film scene or a thoughtful advert.

Opening

Orchestral soundscape. High register sustained strings, rhythmic piano motifs and bass drones create a lush, mysterious soundscape. Jerky, stop-start moments and dark harmonies create slight unease until the chords resolve again. Reflective, heartfelt and troubled, quietly powerful soundtrack music to suit a desolate landscape or a thought-provoking visual.

American Glory

Sparse all-American Western track. Echoing electric guitar and rattlesnake percussion. A desolate desert soundscape, tumbleweed and a blazing sun. Mysterious, pensive and reflective, perfect Ennio Morricone-style soundtrack music for sombre western TV spoofs and adverts or documentaries reporting on another type of cowboy.

Into the Black (Instrumental)

Pulsating instrumental electronic track. A threatening synth pulse, turning into a full blown drum ‘n’ bass beat with a repeated melodic synth motif on top. A pause, the pulse re-enters, relentless and driving, with laser synth beats and other electronic effects. The track builds until the end. Breathless, thrilling, cool and dark, perfect for a tense chase scene in a bombastic urban gangster tv/film sequence or an ad parodying this type of edgy thriller.

Mitochondria

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.

Mumuration

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.

Avenger (Suite)

An epic menacing orchestral track with an electronic edge. Strings and bombastic drums begin before we are drawn in to the choppy waters of a dynamic string section. An unnerving interlude on synth before the horns, loud drums and frenetic strings return, ending on a dramatic drum roll. Scary, menacing, brash, bold, bombastic. Suitable for a pastiche advert for a powerful movement or bold product, or for an dark, intense film sequence.

Alternative version no.1 features an longer interlude of tribal drums and a distant male roar.

Avenger string section version- no drums.

Shorter versions available (60 secs, 27 secs).

Analysis

Atmospheric electronic track. A dark pulse topped with fleeting electronic beats, delicate glassy synth motif and more percussion. Arpeggiated synth then the quiet pulse of a heartbeat. Dark and sombre with broad synth chords and a bubbling synth motif, similar to Fever Ray. Technology coupled with human weakness – danger could be close at hand. Suitable for a cold Nordic drama or a crime documentary.

Carrousel

Bleepy electronic synth track with orchestral strings and a vocal chorus. Bright glockenspiel-like synth notes ring out as the vocals and strings build to a dynamic section with more attitude. Charming with a glamorous edge, perfect for a corporate campaign video or advert for luxury goods.
