The Water Rush

A chirpy synth catchy bass line is joined by balmy evolving synth and chiming bells in a build towards a rush of euphoria in the chorus. A feeling of being a robot in the ocean and suddenly a huge school of tropical fish rush through you. Happy, lush, futuristic and expansive.

Raggy Piano

Sparse tragic solo piano, desolate, empty, sad and grief stricken, with a hint of the Middle East. If you were going to have a soundtrack to the devastation and carnage left behind by war, this would be it.

GOSH – Struggle & Hope (suite)

Simple acoustic guitar picking is joined by bells and pulsing strings, developing into a charged track with feelings of darkness, struggle and glints of hope. Different sections bring in instruments like harp and xylophone for a short period of light relief, then the track races to its end with dramatic string crescendo.

Breathe

Ambient, minimal piano, slightly stilted, is joined by gentle but clear acoustic guitar, creating feelings of tension and release. Builds with light percussion and minimal kick drum to a tense crescendo. Relief in the second half, with an open and “breathable” ending. Serious but also hopeful, and ultimately serene.
