10,000 Steps

Jittery acoustic track. Percussive intro with delay effects on acoustic guitar and synth effects. Building anticipation, repetitive electric guitar and dynamic percussion. Guitar starts to move to a darker place, creating a sombre mood. Guitar noodles over ann atmospheric drone and clattering percussion, the shifting chords altering the mood, ending on spacey sound effects. Dreamy, dynamic and strange, suitable for a tense TV scene, inner turmoil, a noisy internal monologue, a decision to be made.

These Waters Remember Part 3

Chiming guitar track with female vocals. Interweaving electric and acoustic guitars, reverb and delay effects, like an indie guitar track. Breathy female vocals introduced. Guitars duel and layer up, dark and brooding, an instrumental Interpol with slightly jazzy female vocals. African jazz and Spanish guitar influences. Mysterious and atmospheric, would suit a spellbinding TV/Film/Doc scene, spans cultures and eras, a cyclical guitar meditation.

Winter Drone

Atmospheric electronics. Electronics drones like waves ebbing and flowing over a cold, synthesised soundscape. Build in intensity throughout with glassy flickers and a bottomless ocean of shimmering synths. Contemplative, enveloping and hypnotising, a bed of sound perfect for under an eye-opening nature documentary or a tense, atmospheric TV/Doc moment.

Memories of Blue

Peaceful synth track. Sparse, hazy Rhodes piano chords, dreamy sustained synth strings create a suspended sense of movement. Chilled, comforting and nostalgic, a hypnotic track with a slight lounge/jazz feel. Like the soundtrack to an expensive spa treatment, would also suit tv/docs about the natural world.

Busy Game (Suite)

Hi-tension electronic chase track. Fleeting beats and synth lines, consistent drum ‘n’ bass beats, choppy strings lending intermittent bursts of tension and a chunky synth motif. Change to tense sustained synth, harsher beats, heavier strings before a full blown string section over electronic beats. A key change takes the tension up a notch, beat break before a quieter ending a glassy synth drones, cold strings and piano chords. High energy, full-throttle thriller turns reflective dronescape, as if our protagonist burst through a portal into another dimension. Perfect for a advert or tv sequence where danger is around every turn.

Busy Game 2 is steady, orchestral string-led suspense. A consistent level of threat and tension throughout.

The Cleaner

A celestial soundscape of warm synth, piano and guitar. Slowly shifting dreamy sustained reverb-heavy keyboard chords introduce the track, giving a choral effect. Single guitar notes with delay alternate on top. Bright clear single piano notes punctuate the soundscape, before a melody emerges on sustained keys, with the guitar notes developing a sequence. Out of this emerges a fluttering piano idea, before fading out. Serene, calm, warm, dream-like, fantasy. Evoking a floating, weightless feeling, this serene track would accompany a character on a journey of contemplation, or would compliment a fantastical and beautiful natural landscape.

Shells

A warm, rich repetitive piano instrumental with subtle electronics. Repetitive piano shifts slowly between major chords. Glitchy electronics and reverb add an other-wordly quality. A higher register is introduced with extra layers of piano, the gentle undulations feeling like ripples on water. Subtle, meditative, calm and moving, this immersive track envelops the listener in a wave of rich sound, motivating and calming in equal measure. Suitable for contemplative or decisive moments on film, or for adverts encouraging self-improvement.

The K

Upbeat track led by synth samples and hip hop drums. Shooting spacey synth sample with syncopated jazzy chords on top. Boom bap hip hop drums introduced, then a subtle melodic synth line. Interlude with drums and interlaced spacey bell-like synth samples. Ends on synth melody alone. Positive and relaxed, yet upbeat and energetic, this track would suit travel docs or film/tv montage sequences.

Bipolar

Made up of three contrasting sections. First, a futuristic pastoral soundscape with a pan-pipe-like tribal-sounding repeated synth note calling out across the landscape. Then blobby liquid percussion, piano, glitchy electronics and drums interplay until they launch into a drum ‘n’ bass section. Birdsong and a return to nature follow, with forest sounds and a repeated electronic pulse. Next section seeps in with blissful major chords, dreamy glittering electronic fx, soulful beats and dubby bass. A spoken word sample situates us in hip-hop/jazz territory. The voice repeats “walk on, walk tall”, as sparkling synth gives way to birdsong and water. At times, tense, tribal and spiritual, moving to chilled, soulful and inspired, this would suit before/after adverts for a product meant to inspire, slow you down and change your life for the better.

Adventures In Flying

The bombastic blast of a military marching band. Brash horn blasts and pounding drums move to playful percussive sound effects, before rumbling timpani, ascending horn lines and rat-a-tat snare take us to the victorious high note. Bold, stirring and recklessly patriotic. Suitable for retro army spoofs, light-hearted battle sequences and TV adverts featuring a battle against germs and stubborn stains.
