Hypnotic and dark, with a dissonant edge given by atmospheric strings pads and a drony bass synth with percussion. There’s a simple harmony and a sense of anticipation built with a delicate yet firm manner. It will serve very well as background music for video games, and TV shows with a futuristic flavour.

Secluded Blue
Suspenseful and hypnotic, featuring synth loops and acid arpeggios that bring a sense of dark and unsettling emotional content to the listener. Complemented by a slightly retro and mildly epic progression in the last part.
Planet Dancer
Gritty bass synth riffs and driving beats, with elements of electricity. Robots, sci fi experiments for kids. Fun, but serious fun. A bit like the music the children of Trent Reznor would make.
Fast Life
Electronic track with samples and dark bassy beats. Fades in with electronic repeated riff and synth electric guitar sounds. Sustained synths and trap beats underpin the broad synth sound. High pitched sustained synth introduced. Fades in and out sporadically. Punchy, brash, moving with a strut, laid back but in your face, would suit an urban advert or background music for a youth culture documentary.
Day to Night
Lush pensive evolving synths introduce joined by a muted build up of kick, bold funky rhodes and synth bass arpeggios. The track teases you by rising and falling, not ever quite kicking in but building deliciously with percussion and synth pads, keeping you on tenderhooks thoughout. Dark, sultry and sophisticated dance music. Vox version has a soulful male voice (Elliot Chapman).
Stronger
Filtered arpeggiated synth bass builds to a clear beat with piano. Joined by epic strings. Serious showcase, sounds like achieving something against the odds. Ad length.
Alarm In Shadow
Haunting and hard hitting intro music reminiscent of DJ Shadow. Heartbeat rhythm, warning, emergency, hospital drama. Medium Pace.
Wicked Tuna
Rousing war horns intro, industrial beats and bass line develop into searing synth arpeggios, with ghostly vocals rising to a dark crescendo.
Fly Fly Baby (Suite)
Serious, strong, punchy and driving new wave electronic music – reminiscent of “Disparate Youth” by Santigold. Medium Pace.
TB A Killer
Piano and muted beats stomp along with with sweeping orchestral strings. Smooth, emotive & tribal.
