Easy-going acoustic guitar track. Gentle acoustic guitar finger-picking with soft piano chords beneath. Breathy vocal ‘Ooohs’ join at the chorus. Next time round more vocals with harmonies and fuller plucked guitar. Hopeful, positive, sweet and romantic, a bit Dawson’s Creek, and as wholesome as the Gilmore Girls, perfect for a saccharine advert or thoughtful, pastoral TV/Film scene.

First Light
Sentimental acoustic guitar track. Ever-shifting broken chord progressions on warm acoustic guitar. Rich and golden, sparse but full, intimate yet expansive, suitable for both epic TV/Film/advert moments as our gaze sweeps over a vast landscape, and moments of soul-searching and resolve.
White Sofa
Lounge jazz track. Gentle strummer acoustic guitar, fleeting synth fx, subtle drums with laid back jazz keyboard melodies on top. Occasional electronic and vocal samples wash over the shimmering soundscape. Chilled, positive and laid back. Air-does-Ibiza. Would suit an easy breezy advert for stylish beverages or white sofas, or as background music for soothing TV.
By Your Side
Relaxed jazz track with country influences. Laid back saxophone melody over softly strummed acoustic guitar double bass and subtle drums. Strummed banjo and extra drums added, building the texture. Chilled, calm and content, an easy-going jazz melody to lull the listener into a country reverie. Perfect for a family-friendly Film/TV scene featuring a little girl and her best friend, the curious dog as they amble around on light-hearted adventures.
Bed track is a No Sax version.
Carrousel
Bleepy electronic synth track with orchestral strings and a vocal chorus. Bright glockenspiel-like synth notes ring out as the vocals and strings build to a dynamic section with more attitude. Charming with a glamorous edge, perfect for a corporate campaign video or advert for luxury goods.
Electronic Ambient
A warm, bubbling synth track. Synth arpeggios undulate over warm strings and plucky guitar-like synth motif. All intertwine in a beautiful polyphony. Romantic, warm, loving, positive, hopeful. Like raindrops falling on water, this gentle track will cause emotional ripples. Perfect for a sentimental advert or, on film, a romantic conclusion.
The Light (Suite)
A gentle atmospheric electronic track. Bassy opening, joined by warm melodic sequence on synth. Deeper synth sounds and added beats build up the track. Chilled and gently-shifting, this Drive-style track is perfect for a moody TV/Film sequence, neon lights at night, like shooting stars as our character drives by. There is hope somewhere out there in the starry sky, or maybe in the brightly lit city.
Vocal version features smooth and soulful male vocals.
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.
For Sudan (Happy End)
A stirring, rousing, emotional piano and orchestral violin track. Repetitive piano, decisive staccato violins, single piano notes, long orchestral violin notes, a simple piano melody interlaced with the broken piano chords. Sustained violins grow in intensity, with the choppy violins, accompanying and augmenting the hopeful piano melody. Comes to a quiet end on single piano notes. Hopeful, positive, warm and anticipatory, with a sense of relief, this track feels like the end of something troubling and the start of something better. It would suit ads that promise a bright future, or a TV/Film moment of a life-affirming conclusion. Hope for tomorrow.
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.
