Hypnotic and dark, with a dissonant edge given by atmospheric strings pads and a drony bass synth with percussion. There’s a simple harmony and a sense of anticipation built with a delicate yet firm manner. It will serve very well as background music for video games, and TV shows with a futuristic flavour.

Instant 1
Synth pop track. Frantic bleepy synth intro, snare drums shuffle. Keyboards play sparse riff, over alternating marimba-like synth notes. Another layer of piano creates overlapping rhythms, Drums break with single piano notes, drums become more complex.
