Solo piano. Jazz chords straight out of a classic movie scene set in a smoky cavernous jazz club. Slow chordal movement at first, sweet and lyrical, moves to a confused romantic motif with some dissonance, chords grow in volume and intensity, a declaration of love. Back to the introductory chords, more relaxed now with hints of unsettling dissonance. Romantic, confused and reckless, a love letter to early jazz, on Film/TV, would suit a La La Land style, modern interpretation of heady jazz-age love.

Chromer (30 secs)
Guitar-led, expansive and euphoric, an anticipatory intro builds to strong drums introducing themselves at 0:11. Perfect as an intro / sting to an exciting corporate film.
Yepsen
Atmospheric, urgent piano track with added emotive string parts. Driving, dynamic and moving, perfect for humanitarian campaign videos and promotional material.
The Colour’s Coming Back to our Faces
Happy positive rock track with electric guitar, strings and piano. A bit Coldplay “When I Ruled The World”-like. Wholesome, warm and optimistic. Something great has happened, something has been achieved. We’ve done it. Perfect for corporate / charity campaign.
Stronger
Filtered arpeggiated synth bass builds to a clear beat with piano. Joined by epic strings. Serious showcase, sounds like achieving something against the odds. Ad length.
Puncture
Confident rock drums are joined by a growling bassline reminiscent of early artist “Peaches”. Groove continues with shrill synth string interjections and ends tidily. Straight to the point and no nonsense.
Making Your Point
Medium-fast synthpop with vocal ahhs and oohs. Strong beats and violently happy, makes you want to run free and fast. Young, fiercely proud, pulse quickening and driven. Reminiscent of MGMT’s “Kids” but harder and faster.
Circle (Tear) Jerking
Pensive slow electronica. Clear and crisp with strong programmed drums. Strong chorus with chimes and blaring brass. Would suit a demo vid of some sort of brilliant new cool technology. 2:56 brass breakdown to final chorus. Fiercely proud with more than a hint of cool strength.
Pile Dans les tCnabres
Bright guitar strumming joined by upright bass and glockenspiel. Develops with fluttering arpeggios and more active glockenspiel lines, breaking down at 2:08 to a more pensive section with long cello notes and stately horns. Builds slowly in harmony, dynamic and layers to a controlled ending. Warm, delicate, complex and beautiful.
La Paix
Percussive guitar and staccato glockenspiel accompanied by horns. Builds with syncopated percussion. Thoughtful, awake and intelligent with soft emotions. Sweet and brightly nostalgic.
