Everybody’s Got One (Suite)
Retro TV theme tune with saxophone. A football whistle and hint of samba drums gives way to a mellow, homely piano chord sequence, with jaunty horn section, saxophone passionate soloing and a lush string build to meet the end.

Mantis

A cirucular melody on Cretan lyra is doubled on fiddle and joined by subtle percussive hand claps, sounding at once like Austrian mountain folk without the yodelling and like a weaving Middle Eastern melody. Thoughtful and open yet formulaic in its structure, wandering music for an epic nature walk, perfect for a travel or nature documentary.
Candy Love

Electric Dust
Electronic instrumental with fat synths. Electronic beats and congas to start, joined by electric guitar build up, anticipatory synths grow to a frenetic, squelchy synth section with industrial beats.

Hyperactive, unpredictable and high-energy, positive party music to build excitement. Would suit a rollicking ad campaign or breathless onscreen chase scene.
Floorcrawler
Turbo-trap track. Relentless beats and hyperactive synths make a cacophonous rollercoaster ride though a cartoon dimension, passing 808s and collecting snare beats like golden coins. Manic, intense and nerve-wracking, insanely upbeat electronics for a deranged advert or wild TV ride.
Glasshouse Studies III
Slow, emotive piano track with violin and clarinet. Sparse, atmospheric piano, chords resonating, single piano notes ringing out above.
