Anticipating Something Not So Good
Atmospheric piano and orchestral string track. Delicate, sparse piano intro, choppy orchestral strings, feedback-like string drones building in intensity throughout. Threatening, sombre and foreboding, a post-apocalyptic soundscape for a dark TV/Film/Doc moment.
Alt version features additional squelchy electronics.
Moving Target
Tense, action-packed synth track. Dramatic orchestral strings, pounding drums, foreboding synth chords and frenetic panning beats. Threatening, dark and anxiety-inducing, suitable for a high-tension, high-stakes thrilling action Film/TV sequence, or an advert to that effect.
Droid
Dark, foreboding electronic track. Synth blasts, sirens sounds, screeching string samples and electronic glitches. Tense, threatening music for a post-apocalyptic world, where technology has surpassed human intelligence and machines are our unforgiving masters. Uh oh! Also suitable for sleek and powerful car adverts or an intense sports competition.
Ascent
Dark, epic orchestral strings and piano track. Piano intro before a foreboding blast of synth brass and frenetic orchestral strings. A quiet moment of piano and a rumble of drums before an epic return to strings, and a thrilling, threatening repeated motif. Ascending strings heighten the tension before the final foghorn-like blast. Tense and uneasy, but our brazen hero is coming to the rescue. Suitable for a bombastic advert or a high tension, high stakes TV/Film moment.
Badlands (Suite)
A pulsating percussive thriller of a track, teeming with tension. Throbbing bassy percussion and arpeggiated percussive synth intensify into a terse, tense, thrilling melody. Added synth strings heighten the tension while a symphony of drums pound beneath, ending with a foreboding sustained crash. Anxiety-inducing, exciting and nerve-wracking. Perfect for a high-octane movie chase sequence, pushing characters to the extremes of human emotion; a particularly tense reality TV challenge sequence; or an advert for something to help you through life’s most challenging moments.
The percussion only version omits the anxiety-inducing melody, leaving the cacophony of drums below to pound purposefully to the close of the track.
The Issue Goes Deeper (Suite)
Lurching synth doppler effect creates an atmosphere of uneasy tension. One note rings out, klaxon-like, joined by threatening synth sounds panning across a bleak sonic plain. Hi-hat underpins the score with added suspense. Dark, desolate and unnerving, with a heavy, mysterious atmosphere that suggests an enemy at your shoulder. Perfect for a prison break, an abduction or an escape.
Light version has a longer, more exposed synth note. Simple version only features the doppler effect synth sounds, no central sustained note.
Night Falls (Suite)
Atmospheric droney strings and electronics. Sustained string drone under sparse plucked cello and fleeting, shifting electronics. Foreboding, threatening and chilling, would suit an eerie TV/Film/Doc scene, where an as-yet-unrevealed threat lies close by.
