American Glory

Sparse all-American Western track. Echoing electric guitar and rattlesnake percussion. A desolate desert soundscape, tumbleweed and a blazing sun. Mysterious, pensive and reflective, perfect Ennio Morricone-style soundtrack music for sombre western TV spoofs and adverts or documentaries reporting on another type of cowboy.

Mitochondria

Epic electronic build with orchestral strings. Crackly intro, muted electronic build, powerful beats and glassy synths. Sustained, dramatic orchestral strings build to a pummelling electronic beat with glittering arpeggiated synth and a serious, choppy string section. A break before a fresh build. Solemn and driven yet hopeful, all out epic 90s vibes like Fatboy Slim’s ‘Right Here, Right Now’, would suit tense sports coverage, a dramatic advert, or sincere documentary TV.

Mumuration

Melodic orchestral string and drum build. Choppy orchestral strings play a bright melodic motif. Syncopated beats join, growing in volume and complexity. Break before lively orchestral strings and anticipatory beats kick off again. Builds to a summery climax. Positive, hopeful, happy and sincere, like an orchestral version of Dario G’s ‘Sunchyme’, euphoric and fun, perfect for emotional reality TV moments or excitable documentary TV scenes.

Wish You Weren’t Here

Sunny funk track. Funky Prince-like funk guitar intro, electric guitar funk riff with melodic bass guitar and consistent drums. Bright, whistling organ joins on top for the chorus. New section with warm 60s keyboard solo over a slower funk. Moved to a smooth, slightly Spanish guitar solo. A quiet guitar break then back to full chorus. Upbeat, joyful and positive, perfect for a TV montage or holiday advert, sunshine and holidays, playful abandon and laughs with friends.

Analysis

Atmospheric electronic track. A dark pulse topped with fleeting electronic beats, delicate glassy synth motif and more percussion. Arpeggiated synth then the quiet pulse of a heartbeat. Dark and sombre with broad synth chords and a bubbling synth motif, similar to Fever Ray. Technology coupled with human weakness – danger could be close at hand. Suitable for a cold Nordic drama or a crime documentary.

Underwater Dream

A mysterious, orchestral journey of wonder under the sea, past schools of multi-hued fish and shimmering oyster shells with their iridescent pearls, through a fog of pastel bubbles. Beginning with a slightly threatening drone, this track soon gives way to ethereal beauty. Bells tinkle and bubbling piano emerges to take us on a magical Disney-style journey. Strings and woodwind keep us enthralled as the piano ebbs and flows. Slightly spooky but full of wonder and joy, this is classic fantasy film sequence. Perfect for a brief, enchanting interlude on TV or for an advert conjuring a sparkling submersion in a new world.

Eivissa

Laid back lounge track. Shimmering synths, horns samples, shuffling drums and a breezy acoustic guitar riff. Vibraphone adds a touch of jazz and a tinkling brightness. Balearic vibes, sunshine and sparkling turquoise waters. Cool, easy-going and calming. Perfect background music for a holiday advert: sipping on a refreshing cocktail, watching the burning orange sunset in a dream destination. Or suitable as relaxing background music for factual TV.

Lonely Spirit Dance (Suite)

Orchestral track with exotic woodwind and rootsy guitar. A long string like a yearning animal cry, haunting female vocals like siren calls accompanied by slightly bluegrass style banjo and acoustic guitar. A melodic motif on woodwind and acoustic guitar pans an unspoiled landscape rich with colour and history. The guitar is offset by orchestral strings, elevating it to the level of an epic voyage across a fabled land. Magical, emotional, dramatic and wistful, we feel the spirits of another time traversing the land, perfect for a film/doc about a mysterious enigmatic place or time, or a nostalgic, epic but intimate advert.

Short version is 1 minute long with less of an epic build.

Dancing Near the Nile

Eclectic orchestral blockbuster featuring middle Eastern style violin, electric guitar, harp and chorus. Seductive percussion and snaking violin and flute intertwine over a booming timpani and subtle electric guitar. Orchestral strings add drama and intrigue. Dark electric guitar gives way to a harp and vocal segment before an epic orchestral finale complete with dramatic chorus. Dramatic, emotional, historic, ancient, evokes a sense of awakening, the sun emerging from behind clouds after centuries, calling up mystical figures of yore. Perfect for film and TV epics.

Seeking the Gold of Aztecs

An epic orchestral journey evoking the spirit of ancient empires. Sustained strings set the scene, followed by folk-inspired flute, a driving violin motif, louder sustained strings, dynamic percussion, and additional strings providing a dramatic bass line. Urgent, dramatic and mystical, this track evokes an indigenous people under attack from machines and guns, Avatar-style, but standing strong and united in the face of persecution.
