’40s Swoon
Snippet of dreamy 1940s big band music. Lush orchestral strings, tinkling piano, shuffling drums and a warm, vocal chorus swell effect. Warm, retro and uplifting, jazzy, old-fashioned music for swaying gently to, at the holidays, while dressed to the nines, in 1940s America.
Susenyos
Instrumental soulful jazz. Theremin effect over woozy brass intro with subtle keyboard chords. Drums and bass guitar enter, brass moves to a more melodic motif. Electric guitar flourishes then electric guitar and vibraphone melody. Change of pace to a more percussive gallop rhythm with horns. Back to bass, floating theremin and lazy brass and a dreamy guitar and brass melody, like bobbing on the ocean. Upbeat, driving rhythmic section on keys, drums and guitar, punchy brass and soulful saxophone build before slowing to a finish. Relaxed, lush, warm and hopeful, would suit a retro Film/TV scene, growing in excitement, tension building, or a romantic moment on screen where tenderness swings to all out love.
Solo Piano version available.
Even Once (Suite)
Wistful solo jazz piano. A sustained note intro like raindrops followed by jazz chords, piano trills and a full melody. Pastoral, breathless and new, calling to mind the natural landscape, would suit a thoughtful film/doc/TV scene passing over a lush landscape refreshed and awake after a storm or a long winter.
Multi-instrumental version with warm strings, mellow saxophone and shuffling percussion joined by tinkling piano and a freak folk chorus of faraway voices, calling to mind Wickerman-style pagan England.
Ambient Forest
1 min loopable fragment of ambient electronica. Liquid synths imitating nature, a tropical rainforest of samples and a bubbling electronic stream. Dynamic and fresh yet calming, would suit a TV/Film scene set in a lush, intoxicating landscape or a dynamic corporate video.
Opening
Orchestral soundscape. High register sustained strings, rhythmic piano motifs and bass drones create a lush, mysterious soundscape. Jerky, stop-start moments and dark harmonies create slight unease until the chords resolve again. Reflective, heartfelt and troubled, quietly powerful soundtrack music to suit a desolate landscape or a thought-provoking visual.
A Poor Crisis
Romantic piano and string track. Lush orchestral strings, a slow-paced piano melody, descending. The strings swell and overwhelm the piano. Becomes more dramatic and hopeful, literally ending on a high note. Melodramatic, wistful and nostalgic, like Bach’s ‘Air on the G String’ crossed with a less eerie Twin Peaks theme tune, would suit a heartfelt TV/Film moment or advert playing on saccharine retro melodrama.
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.
Antiphon No.4 (Parts 1, 2 and 3)
Cinematic piano and orchestral string track. Serene orchestral strings and undulating piano create a dense, dramatic soundscape full of passionate yearning. Hopeful, romantic and expressive, perfect for a tense, sensual and tumultuous onscreen romance, think A Room With A View, set in a lush and dreamlike environment.
Tower 42
Emotional, cinematic orchestral string track. Swells of romantic strings, slow and sparse, create an ambient, melancholy soundscape. Sad, desolate and full of longing, perfect for a reflective TV/Film scene during heartbreak or grief.
