Oh god the xmassy feels! It’s that time of year again, but it’s flaming APRIL I hear you say, well here in Lapland its Christmas ALL the time. I’m a happy little elf! So… full.. of happiness… (head explodes).
Two ad shorts for Christmas product placement, one classical and fairytale, the other more contemporary. Both will make you spew glitter and rainbows.
Delicate harmonies on strings, with later gentle percussion and theremin-like synthesiser.
Comic high-drama, toybox symphony. An epiphanic moment. Bagpuss and co. get back home after stopping an asteroid colliding with the earth. Or something. Mega-silly symphony of kazoo, voice and accordion.
Triplet-feel dramatic orchestral refrain, with soft voices and repeating phrases. This is hilarious and highly dramatic at the same time. Perfect for an episode of Bagpuss, if Bagpuss was trying to fly a biplane to the moon. Includes real violins, voices, kazoo, accordion, wooden percussion and a whole lot of interesting phrasing.
A suite of tracks all reminiscent of a weird but funny circus.
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 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.
Music for a synthesised, circus party. Rhythmic, upbeat orchestral. Chaotic and crazy.
Melodicas, Mandolin, strings, whistling and – get this – dog-like Inuit singing combine to create a rhythmic, snowy landscape atmosphere. Melancholy, otherworldly and humorous.
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.
