Solo piano track. Quiet, chordal beginning develops into an elaborate repetitive motif into a more percussive section with polyphonic rhythms. Tentative then dramatic, this piece would suit an advert for a life-saving service or a tense Film/TV soundtrack.

Kids, Knives, Broken Lives (Instrumental)
Distorted synth track. A dramatic, industrial-sounding build followed by broad beats and a heavy synth line. Melodic yet heavy, edgy and cool, this track would suit a tense contemporary thriller, crime drama or urban advert.
Inner City
Industrial hip hop track with effects-laden electric guitar. Chiming, forlorn guitar rings out over a sparse landscape before it is joined by heavy hip hop beats and bass, adding a more upbeat edge to the track. Desolate, thoughtful and slightly angry, bringing to mind the empty streets of a neglected city suburb in the U.S.
Further In
Smooth, dreamy 90s-style track with shuffling trip hop beats. With shifting synths and melancholy orchestral strings, it feels like we’re getting emotional by the ocean. Woozy electric guitar is like an British alternative to surf music. Chilled, warm but with an edge, evokes the spirit of the 90s – Sade and Morcheeba vibes all the way. Perfect for a smooth advert or a steamy Richard Curtis romance.
From Now On
Haunting piano intro with eerie sound effects, joined by trip hop beat and warm piano chords.The beat picks up and the piano intensifies before going back to a steady groove with undulating bass guitar. Then growing in intensity with added string section, powerful bass and dynamic percussion. Warm, atmospheric, cool but tense, the perfect soundtrack to a cool action movie or tv series, or a moody, city-based advert.
Eastern 2
Dramatic instrumental track. Glitchy electronics begin, joined by swooping orchestral strings and, soon after, the instrumentation and percussion reminiscent of a Bollywood soundtrack. Final section moves to a more Spanish guitar sound with the sounds of acoustic guitar and what could be intricate foot taps or castanets. A fusion track that would suit the movement from an intense to a more low key mood on screen.
Eastern
Calm yet intoxicating eastern-style track with acoustic instrumentation. Guitar, vocal samples and varied percussion, including tambourine and hand drums, build an intense atmosphere that feels like an improvised jam on a single guitar theme. Subtle background strings add depth. Reminiscent of Andorra-era Caribou as well as North Indian Classical Music, but with a hint of the Middle East, suitable for a mysterious atmospheric build.
DONGDONGDONG
Full on breakbeat with a massive pulse and a drum solo breakdown. Hard, heavy and unrelenting.
Deadline Titles
Echoing, haunting piano. Powerful, muted beats. Dark and brooding with a sense of anticipation.
Chromer
Anticipatory synth & guitar joined by jubilant staccato strings with a pulsing beat. Sort of a cross between Coldplay “When I ruled the World” and some sort of early Arcade Fire track. Expansive and euphoric.
