The Birds The Birds

Strange pastoral orchestral string and brass instrumental.

Otto

Atmospheric 80s-style synthscape. Broken, questioning synth chords, like something out of Twin Peaks, seeming calm but building tension with shifting chords. Later added electric guitar, electronic sound effects and sparkling synths lines. Mysterious, unsettling and yet peaceful at times, lulling you in to a false sense of security. Suitable for melodramatic Film/TV moments, or a cheesy advert parodying this.

Come Through

Downbeat electronic RnB track. Warm piano chord progression, muted, syncopated beats, vocal samples and dreamy reverb build a sultry, expectant atmosphere. Trap beats and breathy Enya-like female vocals added. Warm, fat, nostalgic synths join with electric guitar flourishes cutting through the haze. Cool, clear synth like water droplets takes on the chord progression before a full ending. Romantic, nostalgic and hopeful, like if the Drive soundtrack was a bit more RnB. A subtly determined soundscape, perfect for pensive and decisive TV/Film/Doc moments, ultimately leaving the past behind.

Lost My Way

Tense, bleepy electronics. Muted beats, bell-like synth melody and atmospheric electronics create a dark, futuristic, Eastern-inspired ambience. Break with cloudy electronic noise and harsh, knife-like swooshes. Back to the original zen garden beats with added urgency.

Road To Somewhere

Bouncy electronic track. Arpeggiated synth, soft beats, washes of warm synth chords and an effects-laden wistful synth melody.

A Happy Death

Solemn atmospheric piano-led track with orchestral strings. Starts with a string drone that builds in force and dissonance. Single piano and glockenspiel notes tinkle on the edges. This fades out and is replaced by regular melancholy piano chords with ambient percussive rattles and mouse-like squeaks adding a layer of intrigue. Intense and melancholy yet playful, an unusual combination of sounds to suit an off-kilter film or quirky yet sombre advert.

Amazing Dream Coat

Epic orchestral track with electric guitar and piano. Single atmospheric piano notes ring out over an ambient wash of noise. Orchestral strings introduced with a chorus effect building sense of serenity and calm. Brazen electric guitar cuts through the atmosphere with bombastic chord bursts. Sparse but rhythmic piano chords add a pulse then drop out. Quiet section of meandering piano and gentle strings to finish. Calm and peaceful, then surprisingly powerful, a psychedelic adventure, like if The Who made a meditation album, perfect for a documentary about the natural world or an inspiring, motivating advert.
