It’s Just What I Think
Nostalgic soundtrack to kids playtime. Naive intro on warm, retro keys. Joined by sound effects, tinkling cans and crunching paper. Vocal ‘Ooohs’ enter with uplifting drums, interrupted by spoken word samples. A steady drum beat, keys and percussive tin can groove settles in, sounding like a microscopic recording of ants in work in the backyard. A new synth-led section brings fantasy, twinkling lights and gurgling sound effects, before a return to the melody with added percussive effects. Innocent, hopeful and nostalgic, suitable for a heartwarming advert looking at families, kids and the joys of childhood.
Instrumental and vocal versions available
Sleepy Lullaby
Gentle piano and glockenspiel lullaby. Slow-paced, shifting broken piano chords accompanied by piano and glockenspiel softly playing a simple, childlike melody. Soothing, calming, loving and warm, would suit an advert for something that will safeguard your loved ones, allowing you to rest easy, or a sentimental TV show about cute kids or beloved pets.
‘Underscore’ version features gentle broken chords only, slightly 80s feel.
Wild Horses
Uplifting acoustic guitar instrumental. Fast-paced strummed acoustic guitar riff. Drums and additional guitar lines added, sounding like light humming, building a sense of anticipation and joy. Hand claps, bass guitar and extra percussion add depth. Ends of quietly triumphant cymbal crash. Happy, carefree and optimistic, clothes hanging out to dry on a fresh summer’s day, a yappy dog frolicking in the grass, suitable for an easy-going, hopeful montage on TV/Film, or on an advert for a friendly kids product or service.
Light Relief (Suite)
Cute, happy, piano and percussion-led instrumental. Hand claps, then shakers, cowbell and a simple piano motif. Strummed acoustic guitar joins, a short break then moves up a gear with drums, bass guitar and fuller percussive texture. Another break that builds to the full percussive texture again. Fun, childish, sweet and upbeat, would suit an advert for kids’ yogurts, or for a fun, summery product to be enjoyed as part of a lively, jovial bunch of family and friends.
Swings and Roundabouts
Quirky brass and percussion instrumental. Jazzy drum intro, catchy melody kicks in on woodwind, underpinned by rollicking drums and playful bass guitar. A short drum break then back to the full melody. Fun, joyful, silly and breezy, a short ad length ditty, would suit a light-hearted commercial featuring cute kids running around with cute dogs unravelling loads of toilet paper. Would also suit kids TV interludes.
Drums and Bass Only version available.
30 sec ad length version available.

Kerugugs Homecoming
Comic high-drama, toybox symphony. An epiphanic moment. Bagpuss and co. get back home after stopping an asteroid colliding with the earth. Or something. Mega-silly symphony of kazoo, voice and accordion.
Dinky Pirate
Cute, fun ukulele track with humming, piano, bass and guitar accompaniment. Ukulele strummed intro joined by humming and other instruments, building a warm, comforting, wholesome sound. Short and snappy, perfect for kids TV, TV idents or for commercial adverts as a happy, innocent jingle.
