Underwater Dream

A mysterious, orchestral journey of wonder under the sea, past schools of multi-hued fish and shimmering oyster shells with their iridescent pearls, through a fog of pastel bubbles. Beginning with a slightly threatening drone, this track soon gives way to ethereal beauty. Bells tinkle and bubbling piano emerges to take us on a magical Disney-style journey. Strings and woodwind keep us enthralled as the piano ebbs and flows. Slightly spooky but full of wonder and joy, this is classic fantasy film sequence. Perfect for a brief, enchanting interlude on TV or for an advert conjuring a sparkling submersion in a new world.

Revel in the Flame (Suite)

An uplifting love song with or without vocals. Acoustic guitar and kick drum punch out a rhythmic start, building anticipation. We ease into the song, verse then chorus, then verse with added piano and drums followed by more powerful, rousing chorus. The break maintains this intensity before it’s taken down a notch for one chorus before bursting into a heady but tender finale. Inspiring, positive, romantic, and full of breathless excitement, this emotional grower would suit earnest, all-American films or TV dramas. Our characters, finally reunited, having been kept apart by a series of misunderstandings, decide “Let’s just kick it off…” and embrace love.

The instrumental version is an inspiring guitar and piano build, perfect for rousing, feel-good adverts.

Country Jazz (Suite)

Laid back, feel-good country style instrumental. Electric guitar, double bass and shuffling drums dominate this relaxed country plod. Slide guitar adds colour and a warm glow. Light-hearted, relaxed, chilled, happy, warm, positive, fun. This is a colourful, playful country tune. We’re at a beach shack sipping gigantic fruity cocktails, or on a feel-good retro TV show about unlikely buddies, or in a quirky Pixar animation. More Spongebob Squarepants than Willie Nelson.

Shorter version is 1 minute long.

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.

Eclectic orchestral blockbuster featuring middle Eastern style violin, electric guitar, harp and chorus. Seductive percussion and snaking violin and flute intertwine over a booming timpani and subtle electric guitar. Orchestral strings add drama and intrigue. Dark electric guitar gives way to a harp and vocal segment before an epic orchestral finale complete with dramatic chorus. Dramatic, emotional, historic, ancient, evokes a sense of awakening, the sun emerging from behind clouds after centuries, calling up mystical figures of yore. Perfect for film and TV epics.

Seeking the Gold of Aztecs

An epic orchestral journey evoking the spirit of ancient empires. Sustained strings set the scene, followed by folk-inspired flute, a driving violin motif, louder sustained strings, dynamic percussion, and additional strings providing a dramatic bass line. Urgent, dramatic and mystical, this track evokes an indigenous people under attack from machines and guns, Avatar-style, but standing strong and united in the face of persecution.

Chilled bleepy electronic slow jam. Underwater synth chords joined by drums and bongo samples. Flute-like synth samples flit overhead, adding a tropical colour. 90s hip hop drums and a bassy synth line add depth. After a drum break with flute samples, the silvery synth returns. Cool, mysterious and a little bit playful, perfect for ads for a fresh new product or a trippy, surreal or exotic film/TV sequence.

Susenyos (Solo Piano)

Solo jazz piano. Erratic, playful opening chords, a dramatic section exploring the range of the piano and deep, stomping chords before an East African-style jazz solo. Moves to GymnopĂ©die-like lyrical beauty before a dynamic minimalist section. Alternates fluidly between these varying styles, creating a multi-hued collage of moods. Surprising, playful, dramatic and sophisticated, would suit an old-style silent film or a confusing onscreen tug ‘o’ war of emotions.

Full band version also available.

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.

An atmospheric, electronic dance track, like a more laid-back Justice or a more direct Sebastian Tellier. Muted beats joined by warm hopeful synth, clap beats and more synth add depth and anticipation to this soft techno track. A blobby, dreamy bassy synth melody cuts through the beats adding warmth and cool French vibes. Perfect for fashion adverts, the colourful synth and beats providing an atmospheric backdrop to ads for products and clothing for hip young things.
