Epic orchestral film music. Atmospheric noise like rain on the windowpane before the orchestral strings enter with a slow, powerful melody. A quiet moment of melancholy chordal piano before a percussive slow build with choppy, tension-building strings and lush, dramatic sustained strings. End on a quiet piano note. Dramatic and sombre with a hint of hope, perfect bombastic film soundtrack music for an ambitious advert or heightened moment of drama onscreen.

Heartbroken
Epic orchestral string track with piano and woodwind. Languid orchestral string intro, joined by pastoral woodwind. Woodwind motifs mimicked by the string parts. A dramatic stop before a delicate but excitable piano section with added plucked strings. Orchestral strings runs added, fast-moving and spritely above the piano. Extra piano joins, taking a melancholy tone, strings build to match the dramatic melody. Woodwind returns for the final wind down. Melancholy yet dramatic and lively, cinematic with lots of movement, would suit a long, powerful Film/TV scene of strong emotional resonance or an over-the-top advert.
Taiko Melody
Percussive build. Growing layers of drums and rattling percussion, creating a wide-reaching rhythmic picture. Woodblocks cut through the blanket of drums momentarily before the uniform pounding resumes. Atmospheric, determined and full of anticipation, perfect music for a ceremonial event, a soundtrack to an epic, other-wordly ritual or tribal gathering onscreen.
Sad But Hopeful
Emotional piano-led track. Sparse piano intro, joined by melancholy orchestral strings. String swell, subtle drums and a rhythmic piano motif, growing in confidence and strength. Slowly building, dialogue between strings and piano. Effects-laden piano gives a cold electronic edge. Reflective, yearning and questioning, would suit a TV/Doc sequence of high emotional intensity or a pensive moment on film.
Antiphon No.4 (Parts 1, 2 and 3)
Cinematic piano and orchestral string track. Serene orchestral strings and undulating piano create a dense, dramatic soundscape full of passionate yearning. Hopeful, romantic and expressive, perfect for a tense, sensual and tumultuous onscreen romance, think A Room With A View, set in a lush and dreamlike environment.
KMH Part 1
Minimal piano track. Polyrhythmic piano lines interweave creating a continuous, flowing waterfall effect. Sweet yet dissonant, atmospheric and turbulent. A dreamlike cacophony in the mid-section, before an expressive, virtuosic, yet disturbed, finish. Suited to an unsettling Film/TV scene, a psychological horror reflecting the characters tumultuous experiences.
Ed Mark
Sparse, western acoustic guitar track. Desolate Americana with touches of harsh slide guitar, like something out of a tense, Ry Cooder-scored Western. Atmospheric, strange and nostalgic, would suit a cowboy parody or Western-style advert or TV scene/documentary.
We Wor
Tense orchestral build. Industrial percussion introduces an orchestral blast. Rumbling, atmospheric and action packed, cinematic bombast to suit suspenseful TV drama and epic film scenes.
