Illusions

Delicate, soft harmonies from vintage synthesisers and glockenspiels. Dreamy atmosphere, inspiration from a melody by Edvard Grieg. Mysterious fantasy, sounds like something from Zelda.

Flea Circus & Ice Cream Man

Flea Circus is a drunken comic waltz, with high cartoon singing and cracking whips. I’m including this as the entire website’s most ludicrously specific track. If someone uses this, it can only be for a scene with a circus of very small creatures singing drunkenly together. With whips.

Then (in Ice Cream Man) they all go off and get ice creams in opera mode. Of course.

Fairground for a Mucus Dress

Music for a synthesised, circus party. Rhythmic, upbeat orchestral. Chaotic and crazy.

Dog Sled

Melodicas, Mandolin, strings, whistling and – get this – dog-like Inuit singing combine to create a rhythmic, snowy landscape atmosphere. Melancholy, otherworldly and humorous.

CERN Fulcanelli at the LHC

A quirky, charming theme with bell-like zithers, light percussion, with held sections with brooding percussion and lilting high electronic voices. A happy, bumbling and disjointed procession.

A Favourite Place of Mine

Metal xylophones, evocative of memories and times gone by, with (later) hip-hop-esque percussion patterns.

Vagabond_Instrumental

Sparse synth pad beginning gradually becomes gently rousing with heartbeat-like kick drums, choirs and synth.

My Garden

Lush warm fantasy with pizzicato and orchestral synth strings, female choral vocals and distant electric guitar. Ever so slightly kitsch.

Floating

Sad ambient deep tones with organic tinkles, joined by evolving synth strings. Emotional with a quiet, powerful urgency.

Exodus

Heartbeat like trepidation, leads to gentle electronic buildup in expectancy. Chilled and slowly rousing, punctuated with bursts of electric guitar. Hiding from The Terminator meets 80’s stakeout.
