Into the Cage

Unsettling and dissonant, with an interesting low-fi accent and a set of disquieting piano chords that establish a loaded texture full of pollution and grittiness. Will suit quirky characters slowly drifting into madness, post-apocalyptic settings, dark underwater animations.

Up and Down

Playful and quirky, featuring hopping strings nested in a modern orchestral setting that create lively dissonant ostinatos and spirited recurring themes.

Planet Dancer

Gritty bass synth riffs and driving beats, with elements of electricity. Robots, sci fi experiments for kids. Fun, but serious fun. A bit like the music the children of Trent Reznor would make.

Bond on the Moon

Epic bondy stuff, with a slice of implicit darkness. A spy-themed track that takes the listener from a mysterious electronic intro to a fully orchestral instalment. It rests at 1:30 and then resumes to deliver a grand finale. Be warned, James Bond’s got a dark side.

Crab Cakes

Funky, energetic tune featuring a driving bass guitar, retro drum groove, smoking Hammond organs, and a punchy brass section. There are two harmonic shifts at 1:00 and 2:10. An instrumental James Brown playing with Earth Wind & Fire.

5thy

Reflective and mellow track featuring a bell-like synth. At 0:48 a Trip hop beat makes its way in and marks a shift in intensity. Morcheeba and Groove Armada alike, this piece is perfect for chilled, peaceful settings, possibly offering a certain degree of anticipation.

Cluedo

Unexpected and relentless, with ostinato strings patterns and temperamental tempo changes that create a moody and fast paced sixties-like classical orchestration. Ideal for retro thrillers along the lines of Psycho and Vertigo.

Tell Me Now Darlin’

Country violin instrumental with piano. Violin, oom-pah bass and drums and tinkling piano to start. Slide guitar introduced for a solo. Wistful violin returns. Sentimental, warm and wholly nostalgic, harking back to a bygone time, would suit an advert that’s keepin’ it country, or a TV/Film moment of cheesy reverie.

The Art of Being Sneaky

Pink Panther-esque jazz instrumental. Double Bass jazz motif tip-toes across the track, joined by clipped hand drums, Rhodes piano keyboard sound and sound effects. Mysterious, playful and suspenseful, perfect for an onscreen intrigue or a pastiche of retro whodunnits.

13 sec version available.

Two

Relaxed rhodes piano with scatterings of upright bass, this is lounge jazz at its loungiest. Bordering on cheese but never quite getting there, feels like slightly kitsch splendour, glossy wonder, plastic fantastic, dripping with minimal sophistication. “Is that a cocktail shaker in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?”. Perfect for opulent scenes.
