I Can Be Fearless
Driving alternative rock instrumental. Subtle electronic swoosh before simple strummed electric guitar riff. Effects and light keys added. Extra electric guitar line joins before the full alt rock chorus blast, uplifting and euphoric. Chilled verse with chiming anticipatory guitar before full chorus returns. Rocking mid section with punchy guitars and 60s keys. Chiming guitar duet takes things down a notch before the driving chorus. Single guitar outro. Brash, bold and excited, 90s alt rock throwback, perfect as upbeat TV background music or for a slick, rocking advert.
Overlapping Dreams
Gentle synth and guitar track. Bubbling arpeggiated synth grows beneath a effects-laden, melodic electric guitar line. Bright, glassy synth chordal interlude before snare drum effects are added creating a polyrhythmic soundscape. Regular drums and colourful, broad synth chords join, adding depth. Sweet, positive and hopeful, a softer Beach House, perfect for immersive, colourful adverts, futuristic but cute.
Wistful Piano (Suite)
Scattered piano melody with electronic effects over a subtle ambient synth drone. Background drone grows in waves of atmospheric noise. The noise grows stronger and harsher, almost swallowing the piano notes. Another string drone swells to finish. Introspective, melancholy and reflective, suiting a moment of pause, reflecting on the past and contemplating the future. Suitable for thoughtful ending in a TV/Doc.
w/ synths: Added other-wordly synth drones and wonky sustained synth lines, giving an off-kilter edge.
w/ strings: Regal orchestral string arrangement on top of piano melody from the start, string lines intersecting in a looping counterpoint.
