Pyramid of Pop

Polished EDM/Pop. Punchy from the get-go with arpeggiated synth lines, twinkling sound effects, a bouncy synth melody and beats. A build with relentless beats speeding up to the drop. Bright, euphoric synths joined by crunchy beats, bright, sparkly and upbeat. Happy, carefree and reckless, Calvin Harris/Skrillex-style summer jam for Reality TV or a documentary about the youth going on raucous, boozy holidays.

Percussive hangdrum-led track. Melodic hangdrum and driving percussion lead an atmospheric instrumental. More melodic handpan section before the close. Anticipatory, excited and shrouded in mystery, perfect for nature or travel docs, imagine catching glimpses of lush foliage from train speeding high on a mountain track.

Interlude is more sparse, without the driving rhythms at first, building momentum and rhythmic intensity toward the end of the track.

Light synth banger. Punchy, sparse synth chords introduce a 90s synth line with glassy synths washes creating atmosphere. Brash synth chords over a variation on the melodic riff with a throbbing kick drum beat beneath. A new layer of high register synth line takes things up a notch, shuffling beats add a dance flavour. More variations on the melody, drums kick in again, then an abrupt stop. Positive, hopeful and determined, driving beats to suit a reality TV challenge or slightly cheesy advert for a modern product.

Fantasy synth track. Soft echoing synths, like hesitant but emphatic strings, slow, beautiful and suspenseful. Perfect for nature docs or to accompany dreamlike visuals.
