The sound of a half-forgotten carnival, for harmoniums, toy piano and strings. Slow, steady, expressive and sad. Dramatic and slightly unwell.

Making Jack a Dull Boy
Dark atmospheric piano elements with tambourine and other percussion. Grooving and dissonant, building with tense octave notes. Sounds like: Tom Waits’ soundtrack to Down By Law.

Daruckatekarte
Begins with quasi-gamelan, becoming a dreamlike, wobbly guitar piece with gentle funk rhythms.

SOS til Memphis (Instrumental)
Haunting pious and atmospheric beginning with echoing vocals developing into sparse electronic rhythm with synth and organic fx. Sophisticated, thoughtful and restrained EDM.

Exodus
Heartbeat like trepidation, leads to gentle electronic buildup in expectancy. Chilled and slowly rousing, punctuated with bursts of electric guitar. Hiding from The Terminator meets 80’s stakeout.

Crossing the Line
Low tense piano with eerie string effects creates an air of hushed expectancy, leading to a section hesitant movement, held breath and finally warm deep achievement, with hesitant but strong orchestral strings. Beautiful, majestic and yearning. Slow.

Silhouettes – Florida Room
Full band, indie rock – clockwork beginning to relaxed verse, still chorus, gaining momentum and pace into held harmonious bridge and a measured ending. Medium – medium fast

For All The Children (Part 1)
Bleak violin track. Mournful solo violin, second violin joins, building layers of emotion. Melancholy, pensive and yearning. Suitable for a beautiful, reflective TV/Film moment, our character’s wretched heartbroken lament.

For All The Children (Part 2)
Dramatic orchestral string track with piano. Expressive strings soar over fast-moving piano arpeggios, creating a melancholy wash of yearning and unfulfilled desires. Powerful, dynamic and passionate, perfect for an uptight British TV drama concerning repressed lovers.

The Glass House
Acoustic guitar track. Slow, thoughtful guitar melody over repeated, plodding guitar countermelody. Slide-heavy mid-section, more expressive and animated. Gentle, calm and reflective folk music, perfect for pastoral Americana onscreen and nostalgic TV/Film/Doc scenes.
