Calm but decisive, a celebration of orchestral softness with enticing brushes of harp and piano, and mellow balzato strings. It releases its rhythmical structure at 1:50 and then builds again to accommodate a compelling coda with full orchestral power. On the epic side, leaning to Hollywood style romance stories, travelling documentaries and resolution sequences.

Reminiscences
With troubled chords and unsettling textures, a full orchestra is summoned to establish a mysterious and hypnotic sense of longing. First violins deliver the main theme at 0:38, leading to an emotional opening in the middle section. Heavy percussions add layers of dramatic intensity for a compelling final crescendo. Suitable for dramas, introspective yet disturbing scenes a la Roque Banos’ The Machinist soundtrack.
Clouds Party
Fun and celebratory, a grand and colourful orchestration gives a sense of contagious energy. Magic is in the air, as the twisty dialogues between flute, oboe and brass remind us in the middle section. With a great impulse for discovery and adventure, it will suit both a Hollywood and Japanese cartoon style fast paced setting.
Sunrise
Melancholic and sweet, with a sense of yearning and heavy use of exotic interpolation of chords and melodies. Powerful as a big orchestra can be, it gains momentum at 1:20, always keeping the stakes high as a complicated love story would be. Will suit exotic and big Hollywood love stories, with ultimate love as overarching theme. The English Patient, Out of Africa, and even Indiana Jones are welcome here.
The Plucky Brainworm
Playful and quirky, this tune combines elements of Celtic music with a corporate soundtrack flavour. With ukulele strums, a heartwarming glockenspiel, and fiddle as leading instrument, it will suit fantasy worlds and cinematic sequences, as well as corporate and product videos.
Small World
Engaging and uplifting, this track combines elements of Latin world music with Spanish Flamenco. It features a slick dialogue between two acoustic guitars, drums with percussions and two chorus-like episodes at 0:55 an d 1:22. Paco De Lucia and Pat Metheny shake hands. Ideal for a documentary title sequence, film promos, travel scenes, and ad campaigns.
Hill
Dreamy and ethereal music with a heavenly and transcendent new age feel. Evocative and hypnotic, it evolves toward a positive resolution (3:20), while keeping its instrumentation consistent. Brain Eno meets Blade Runner, this is ideal for nature, science, space documentaries and whatnot.
Typecast Credits
Contemplative guitar and drone track. Acoustic guitar plucking a sparse melody above a subtle sitar-like drone. Simple, thoughtful, meditative and atmospheric, perfect for a slow-moving TV/Doc scene over a beautiful vista.
Un Frere et la Mer
Simple melodic guitar and percussion with feelings of fantasy, magic and a hint of oriental. Beautiful arpeggios layer upon each other in positive waves, accompanied by echoing vibraphone/glockenspiel, threatening to launch into the stratosphere. However the organic instrumentation keeps one foot steadfastly in reality, and what a nice lush reality it is 🙂 Perfect for a brand doc about something delicate and refined, feels a bit like you are flying above green pastures.
The Art of Being Sneaky
Pink Panther-esque jazz instrumental. Double Bass jazz motif tip-toes across the track, joined by clipped hand drums, Rhodes piano keyboard sound and sound effects. Mysterious, playful and suspenseful, perfect for an onscreen intrigue or a pastiche of retro whodunnits.
