Retro TV theme tune with saxophone. A football whistle and hint of samba drums gives way to a mellow, homely piano chord sequence, with jaunty horn section, saxophone passionate soloing and a lush string build to meet the end. Comforting, positive and reassuring, like a 90s American family sitcom theme tune, cosy, retro and warm, think ‘Who’s the Boss?’ for good old-fashioned family japes.

Utter Nutter Theme (Suite)
Groovy 70s funk. Cheesy horn blasts, funky beats, vinyl scratching samples, zany saxophone interludes and jazz piano in your face in an explosion of wacky, swirling 70s groove. Fun, upbeat and happy, retro 70s New York vibes with a cheesy edge, imagine as a TV theme tune for a NYC cop show about 2 crazy cops getting into some hilarious scrapes, or for an advert promising to inject excitement into family mealtimes.
Noise Water Beats
Experimental Lo-Fi Hip Hop track. Ambient sounds with a degrading, crackling quality, kitchen pottering, water whooshing, industrial machine-like noises, joined by resonant piano chords and crunchy beats. 90s, Hip Hop beats drive the track, with looped piano chords and background noise a constant. Mysterious, experimental, chilled and darkly playful, like exploring the Looney Tunes Haunted House, off-kilter beats and samples to suit a Vice news style documentary or contemporary urban filmmaking.
Love To Groove
Smooth funk instrumental. Funky guitar intro with optimistic piano chords. Drums build to a full-on funk-off. Upbeat chorus of funky electric guitar riffs, an insistent synth line and a steady drum groove and hand claps percussion. Comes down to hand claps and synth before building to the punchy chorus once more. Electric guitar solo overlaid to finish. Fun, uplifting and hedonistic, good time perfect party music for a slick and stylish advert.
Don’t Let Me Slide
Uplifting orchestral pop instrumental. Piano block chords intro with string swells. Beats join, followed by a chorus of bright piano chords and soaring orchestral strings with electric guitar ringing out above. Verse again, then upbeat chorus with extra electric guitar cutting through the orchestral bed. New section of acoustic, electric guitar and anticipatory drums before a return to the right-on guitar peals and full pop/rock chorus featuring slide guitar. Confident, hopeful and positive, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed classic American radio pop/rock. A perfect, slightly cheesy, accompaniment to an audacious advert or rousing TV/Documentary scene.
Forever’s Not Long Enough
Uplifting piano and guitar rock instrumental. Gentle piano chord intro building anticipation. Washes of synth and heartfelt electric guitar notes build to a strummed acoustic guitar section. Builds to full-bodied, inspiring chorus lead by guitar. Emotional, subdued mid section builds back to hopeful chorus with added string parts. Excited, driven and positive, heartwarming soft rock, perfect for a wholesome advert or as optimistic background music for daytime TV.
Good Grief
Sombre, pensive solo piano track. Slow-moving block chords. Cello joins. Slow, measured phrases soothe and calm. Thoughtful, emotional, sad but with a hint of light at the end of the tunnel, would suit an emotionally fraught TV/Film scene of mourning or dwelling on a difficult past or broken relationship.
Solo Piano version available.
1 min and 30 sec ad length versions available.
Port Authority Bus Station Blues
Atmospheric acoustic guitar track. Brooding solo guitar accompanies itself with finger-picking and block chords. Slow, meandering, expressive and nostalgic, suited to a turbulent TV/Film scene set in America. Becomes more emotional and dense throughout, growing in intensity and turning slightly melancholy.
