History
Hip hop track with orchestral strings. Melancholy string intro. Minimal beats before a bass drop. Deep bass synth mines the underbelly, trap beats up top and church-like bell sample and choral vocal samples add to the eerie atmosphere. Dark, sombre and quietly epic, like Gangsta’s Paradise without Coolio, perfect for an investigative documentary or epic domestic drama of the streets.
Angst at the Bay
Epic, atmospheric synth track. A wash of broad synths and wind-like rushes, evoking a cold, post-apocalyptic natural world. Orchestral string-like synths slowly add a hint or warmth and hope. Emotional, bleak and desolate, introspective soundscape to suit a reflective TV scene, an epic nature documentary or romantic film scene.
Triplet Storm Part 1
Arpeggiated synth track. Fast synth arpeggios, vast and expansive, spread out across a fantasy world, changing in texture and volume, morphing yet insistent. Dark, introspective and epic, perfect computer game soundtrack or soundscape for a rigorous podcast or factual documentary.

Driving arpeggiated synth track. Moody, cool synth waves crash over the soundscape. Vast, epic and driving, would suit an urban, Vice-style documentary or dreamy, clubby, druggy TV scene.
Sorry
Melancholy trap with orchestral strings. Sombre piano chord intro, trap beats drop. Woozy bass synth unsettles. Flickering beats, breathy vocal samples and austere orchestral strings add complexity.

Ringworld Interlude

We Are Together
Hopeful orchestral track. Delicate horn drone rings out, introduces choppy violins building suspense, lush orchestral strings swell, tinkling bell-like effects and anticipatory drums build before a twinkling percussive ending. Inspiring, atmospheric and brimming with warmth and hope, reminiscent of Coca-Cola’s iconic Christmas advert, or a joyful episode of Planet Earth, perfect for nature programming, inspiring adverts or wholesome family TV.

Less is More
