Moody lyre instrumental. Sparse improvisatory melody, sounding like a cross between harp and acoustic guitar. Beguiling, melancholy and ancient, a mysterious, questioning, atmospheric soundtrack to strange, anticipatory Film/TV scenes or documentaries about ancient civilisations.

A Night to Remember
EDM with bouncy synths. Anticipatory build with synth whooshes and a sparse melody to begin. Calvin Harris-style beat drops, bouncy synths and regular beats create a driving movement. Spacey laser synths and faster beats spiral to a climax. Fun, colourful and garish, yet driven and determined, perfect for a feel-good advert or for brash reality TV.
Shattering the Ground
Straight up rock ‘n’ roll track. Hand claps and a brazen guitar riff to begin, a break with vocal ‘yeahs’ and a choppy electric guitar break. Later flute brings a jazzy 70s vibe before a full guitar and drum rock out. Bold, brash and powerful, punchy ad music or perfect background hype for a reality TV challenge.
Change Tense (Suite)
Upbeat synthpop instrumental with piano. Arpeggiated, propulsive synths drive the track forward with thoughtful piano chords on top giving a sentimental feel. Expansive, positive and hopeful, perfect electronic pop for a decisive TV scene or quietly victorious and emotional ending.
Dark Jungle
Tense drum ‘n’ bass track. Drum ‘n’ Bass breaks over woozy, neon synths. Strange modulations and cold electronics effects create an unnerving and hypnotic atmosphere. Intense, direct and single-minded with a contrasting softness from the synths, would suit a serious documentary about youth or urban issues, or a reality TV montage.
Clarity
Cretan-Irish fiddle track. Droney, sustained fiddle notes, melodic rounds over the drone, becoming more Irish in flavour as the tune progresses, before taking an Arabic turn with percussion and doubled fiddles. Hynotic, meditative, earthy and lively, perfect for a documentary set in the Middle East or Eastern Mediterranean, a beautiful, fluid fusion of musical cultures.
Endlessly Haydn Eggs
Quirky woodwind instrumental with experimental vocal effects. Sparse cello intro joined by pizzicato strings in jerky counterpoint. Woodwind enters with breaths used to percussive effect. Track builds with layers of rhythmic snatches to a gently minimalist cacophony. Playful and lighthearted with a rich and warm tone, perfect for a nature documentary or a comedic, mysterious Film/TV scene.
Sideline
Laid back funky R’n’B. Funk bass line intro with woozy synth chords and playful samples. Calm, jazzy synth chords layered on top, vocal samples and wonky synths create an experimental feel before laid back drums ground the track. Jazz piano samples add a sprinkle of colourful lightness. Chilled, serene and carefree, smooth funk with a quirky edge, perfect for a retro advert or urban documentary.
Turn It Up A Notch Or Two
Rock n roll track. High octane, upbeat, hooky guitars, bass and pounding drums. Bass and drum heavy breaks and catchy electric guitar riffs. Energetic, brash and fun, perfect for a jokey reality TV montages or high-energy adverts.
Impressions of a Choice
Lush orchestral track. Simple, questioning piano introduction leads to sweeping, pastoral strings before a full orchestral mid-section with developed piano melodies and playful woodwind and brass blasts. Hopeful, romantic and soaringly positive, 1980s soap opera meets the Animals of Farthing Wood, romance with a dash of danger.
