Jump Off
Sultry R’n’B. Muted synths expanding and contracting like a flexing muscle, warped and full of anticipation. Breathy female vocal samples and laid back trap beats complete the track. Murky and dreamlike with an hard, technological edge, would suit a cutting edge advert or a sombre TV scene.
Noise Water Beats
Experimental Lo-Fi Hip Hop track. Ambient sounds with a degrading, crackling quality, kitchen pottering, water whooshing, industrial machine-like noises, joined by resonant piano chords and crunchy beats. 90s, Hip Hop beats drive the track, with looped piano chords and background noise a constant. Mysterious, experimental, chilled and darkly playful, like exploring the Looney Tunes Haunted House, off-kilter beats and samples to suit a Vice news style documentary or contemporary urban filmmaking.
Tropics
Polished clubby electronica. Fat synths interspersed with dynamic, glossy, banging beats. Melancholy synth chords and vocal samples add an introspective edge. Dark, determined and driven, 90s-style sample-heavy electronica, perfect for a sombre documentary or thoughtful, difficult and decisive TV scene.
The Militant Upcycle
Bloopy, psychedelic electronic track. Gentle, reverb-laden synth patterns, repeated, morphing into a noisier sound, growing more intense. A wash of fuzzy, atmospheric noise drowns out the synth melodies. Hints of My Bloody Valentine, Stereolab, Broadcast and Air, sepia-tinted electronics mingle with harsh noise in a satisfying contrast. Warm, gentle, searching and plodding to begin with, more intense, powerful and expansive as the track progresses. Perfect atmospheric film or documentary music, retro-futuristic and edgy, reminiscent of the Lost in Translation soundtrack.
Armageddon Voucher
Bloopy electronic with feedback and sound effects. Opening synth phrase on repeat, creating a sense of propulsion. Noise and deep, grounding sound effects create a dark, murky atmosphere. Grows in volume and intensity before the noise drops out halfway through. The synth idea drops out and woozy, dreamlike synth drones are drowned out by harsh electronic feedback noise. Driving, hopeful and tense to begin with, then abstract, intense and overwhelming. Perfect for a sci-fi world or frightening documentary about the future of humankind.
A Strange Economy
Atmospheric electronic instrumental. Layers of ambient drones suspended in mid air with hints of harmony emerging. Calm, peaceful and dreamy, suitable for a seemingly calm documentary or tv sequence with slightly shifting, moving and wandering, like a raft adrift on the ocean.
War and Peace
Melodramatic orchestral string and piano track. Melancholy piano chordal intro. Dramatic male choral samples and sombre violin join, adding drama and intrigue. Fuller strings enter and rumbling percussion creates a rousing, dramatic effect, ending abruptly. Pensive, dark and bombastic, suitable for highly strung advert, or as a tongue-in-cheek soundtrack to an investigative documentary or jokey Reality TV scene.
Uno
Melodic electronics and percussion. Subtle, gentle percussion and breathy woodwind arpeggios undulate over slowly shifting synth chords. Bleepy synth and celestial sound effects whoosh across the spacey soundscape. Melodic, mystical and mysterious, perfect background music for a questioning advert or curious documentary, looking to the stars.
Lift Off
Slick upbeat electronica. Full intro of synths and beats joined by glassy melodies and a bouncy synth riff. 90s-style chordal piano build then the jam restarts.
