Training Grounds
Sophisticated electronica. Clanging piano chord intro, deep bass beats enter underneath and synths on top. Bass deepens, warm and full, with bright chords chiming above. Some vocal samples. Classy, contemporary and self-assured, hinting at a darkness beneath, reminiscent of Little Dragon or Santigold, perfect for a confident advert or victorious TV moment.
Underwater Theme 01
Bloopy synth track with deep underwater bass. Soft, hazy synth lines over repeated bloopy synth melody, reverb effects, and subtle, drum roll-like beats. Downbeat, nostalgic and mysterious, with a hint of danger, would suit an investigative Vice or Vox-style documentary or TV segment. Also perfect for edgy TV scenes.
Sahara (Oud version)
Arabic oud track. Fragmented melodic phrases on oud, accompanied by a tension-building drone. Subtle percussive hits add further anticipation. Suspenseful, atmospheric and mysterious, the perfect soundtrack to a Spaghetti Western set in the Middle East.
No percussion version available.
Electric Dust
Electronic instrumental with fat synths. Electronic beats and congas to start, joined by electric guitar build up, anticipatory synths grow to a frenetic, squelchy synth section with industrial beats. Clunky, noisy beats give way to a delicate and funky guitar riff. Builds back to punchy, garish synths and relentless, driving beats. Hyperactive, unpredictable and high-energy, positive party music to build excitement. Would suit a rollicking ad campaign or breathless onscreen chase scene.
The Enchantress of the North
Pastoral woodwind septet. Flute melodies interweave, while others playfully arpeggiate underneath and and provide a walking bass line, moving merrily as one unit. Jaunty, thoughtful and enchanting, dancing from a dewy meadow into the dark woodlands of a frightening fairytale, perfect for fantastical films and TV scenes, as well as ads or elevated reality TV: Houses and Gardens of Great Britain or suchlike.
Due
Atmospheric electronic track with accordion. Broken underwater synth chords, bloopy, deep and mellow, build a beguiling atmosphere. Soon joined by freely melodic, meandering accordion giving it a French flair as watery chords and deep sea synths lay down calming chords and mermaid choruses. Magical, vast and deep, a hopeful, experimental track perfect as documentary background music or for a Gallic product or film, or to accompany a frightened mermaid morphing back to human form.
It Was Revealed (Parts 1 and 2)
Expressive orchestral string track. Gentle, lyrical orchestral strings soar in counterpoint over an unsettlingly tumultuous piano part. Dramatic, cinematic and slightly cacophonous with a European sensibility, would suit a passionate TV Drama or period film scene.
Part 2 features a fuller orchestral string sound and heavy use of vibrato, with piano taking a back seat.
