It’s Just What I Think

Posted on April 24, 2018 by Music Supervisor

Nostalgic soundtrack to kids playtime. Naive intro on warm, retro keys. Joined by sound effects, tinkling cans and crunching paper. Vocal ‘Ooohs’ enter with uplifting drums, interrupted by spoken word samples. A steady drum beat, keys and percussive tin can groove settles in, sounding like a microscopic recording of ants in work in the backyard. A new synth-led section brings fantasy, twinkling lights and gurgling sound effects, before a return to the melody with added percussive effects. Innocent, hopeful and nostalgic, suitable for a heartwarming advert looking at families, kids and the joys of childhood.

Instrumental and vocal versions available

Redemption

Posted on March 22, 2018 by Music Supervisor

Piano track with orchestral strings and electronics. Sparse piano melody accompanied by an electronic pulse. Pulse replaced by orchestral strings, suspended lazily above. Gentle woodwind added to the mix. Soft counterpoint of strings, keys and wind. Pastoral, reflective and subtly powerful, suitable for a nostalgic advert soundtrack or a heartfelt TV/Film scene.

Run Away With Me

Posted on January 26, 2018 by Music Supervisor

Smooth jazz club track. Warm piano chords, walking double bass, light drums with a smooth saxophone improvising melody on top. Chilled, positive and slightly cheesy, perfect classic jazz for a reassuring, family advert.

Piano Duet

Posted on December 7, 2017 by Music Supervisor

Plinky-plonky electronic track. Muted, gentle kalimba-like keyboard notes with a tinkling percussive glockenspiel-like motif above. A growing wash of calming synth emerges from beneath. Meditative, warm, mellow and reflective, like bathing in calming sound, with African-style melodic percussion but Icelandic, glassy like Amiina, perfect for a gentle, family advert or introspective TV/Film/Doc scene.

A Moment After

Happy piano build. Repeated piano note builds anticipation, joined by sweet piano chords in harmony. Sustained violin notes float on top, adding sincerity to the cute keys and light tambourine. Heartwarming, wholesome and safe, perfect for trusting family adverts, cute puppies advertising toilet roll, or an emotional reality TV moment.

Sleepy Lullaby

Posted on September 13, 2017 by Music Supervisor

Gentle piano and glockenspiel lullaby. Slow-paced, shifting broken piano chords accompanied by piano and glockenspiel softly playing a simple, childlike melody. Soothing, calming, loving and warm, would suit an advert for something that will safeguard your loved ones, allowing you to rest easy, or a sentimental TV show about cute kids or beloved pets.

‘Underscore’ version features gentle broken chords only, slightly 80s feel.

Happy Feet (Suite)

Posted on July 7, 2017 by Music Supervisor

Classic swinging brass-led jazz track. Piano, shuffling drums, syncopated strummed guitar intro. Brass enters with a fast, energetic melody sounding like When The Saints Go Marching In, or a classic big band standard. Upbeat, happy, positive and warm, harking back to the jazz-age, would suit a modern Film/TV scene set in New Orleans, contrasting old and new. Would also suit a fun and friendly advert for a family product.

Bed version omits the Brass melodies.

Sparrow

Posted on May 28, 2017 by Music Supervisor

Cute folky acoustic guitar track. Simple acoustic guitar melody begins, joined by jaunty double bass. Plucked guitar strings accentuate the groove, replaced by staccato violins before a new section welcomes gentle strummed acoustic guitar and a prominent violin melody. Delicate glockenspiel punctuates the folky melody. Fun, playful, sweet and hopeful, perfect for a cute, wholesome advert for a fun family experience like a visit to a miniature pig farm.

Acoustic Guitar Only version available.

Country Code (Suite)

Posted on March 27, 2017 by Music Supervisor

Country music instrumental. Interweaving acoustic guitars, ramshackle drums, slide guitar, harmonica and a whistling effect all get down together at the county fair. A solid plodding bass line, à la Johnny Cash’s ‘Walk The Line’, keeps this topsy-turvy show on the road. Relaxed and jolly, this rollicking tune would suit adverts for a fun-for-all-the-family product, or a TV/Film country-livin’ pastiche.

1 minute ad length version also available.

By Your Side

Posted on March 7, 2017 by Music Supervisor

Relaxed jazz track with country influences. Laid back saxophone melody over softly strummed acoustic guitar double bass and subtle drums. Strummed banjo and extra drums added, building the texture. Chilled, calm and content, an easy-going jazz melody to lull the listener into a country reverie. Perfect for a family-friendly Film/TV scene featuring a little girl and her best friend, the curious dog as they amble around on light-hearted adventures.

Bed track is a No Sax version.
