Solo Piano waltz. Swooning, swaying piano motifs, floating chord progressions and buoyant piano lines and a swell of solo piano over a waltzing rhythm. Earnest, emotional, searching, tender and, finally, determined. A journey across the sea surface and into the depths, would suit a TV/Film scene with heavy emotional impact or more intimate, soul-searching scenarios.
Tag Archives: Determined
Stay All Night
Punchy electronic track. Steady crunchy beats, chunky synth, arpeggiated shiny synth and a summery chord progression. Determined, focussed, brash and confident, would suit a brazen character onscreen or a self-assured advert for a glamorous product.
New Sound Born Instrumental
Catchy synth based electronic track. Punchy, crunchy beats, plucky guitar, melodic synth and bouncy bass. Determined, driven yet fun and summery, would suit an advert for an urban event or product or as background music for a youthful, upbeat documentary or film.
Symbolgen
Epic percussive build. Pounding drum intro, more percussion added, building layers of rhythms and heightening the tension. Full beat established, drops to melodic drum break, before full pounding percussion resumes. Excited, driven and determined, a tribal feel, calling to mind Asian music traditions, to suit epic, ambitious film soundtracks and mounting tension on screen.
Heading Up
Bouncy electronic pop track. Fat summery synths, electronic beats and male vocal sample ‘Hey’s set the upbeat tone. Vinyl-scratching samples, more bouncy synths and hip hop beats create a fun but edgy summery vibe. Determined, cool and a bit flashy, a slight cheesy Calvin Harris synth feel, perfect for brash adverts or Hollyoaks-style TV interludes.
Cross (Justice Has Been Done)
Synth-heavy mid-pace electronic banger, reminiscent of early Daft Punk or Justice. A steady groove is augmented throughout the track, adding extra layers of fat synth and a retro organ sample. A drop in the mid-section builds to a warped version of the riff before a bigger build back to the main theme. Cool, determined, edgy and urban. Dark with flashes of neon light, this track struts, transforming the grey city streets into a technicolour catwalk. Perfect for fashion or sport adverts, or anything representing street or youth culture.
The Return
Cinematic orchestral thriller. Tense, choppy string motif, building in intensity, joined by horn blasts and rumbling percussion. Grows to a powerful, lyrical melody, determined and triumphant, before a quiet final section on piano. Exciting, dramatic and exhilarating, perfect for a cinematic adventure sequence, or ambitious advert lampooning this style.
Open Seas
Bombastic orchestral epic. Punchy percussion under dynamic, busy orchestral string lines. A full, rich sound. Determined, dramatic and triumphant. Pirates of the Carribean-style film music for swashbuckling adverts or treacherous TV.
Angry Boys
Fuzzy trip hop instrumental. Stop/start rhythmic synth and drum riff. Robotic, fuzzy synth plays drum ‘n’ bass influenced riff, joined by laser beam samples over a trip hop drum beat. Cool and breezy but with a determined edge, a bit like an instrumental Thievery Corporation, suitable for a TV/Film drama focused on a gang of youths living in an unequal world, or an advert for 90s throwback garms.
Afro Hang
A funky African-style percussive track with synth and vocal samples. Bongo percussion kicks off with some playful whistle samples. Synth sequence underneath surfaces as another percussion line and female vocal sample and bass are added to the build. A break, steel drum plays a simple melodic motif, then all in with added funk guitar. A steady groove reigns supreme on this track. Determined, Proud, Positive and Joyous. Suitable for a action-packed build up on a tv clip or ad, or for sports coverage, suggesting a sense of unity, pride, team spirit and determination.
