Two part brass instrumental. Unsteady jazz piano and erratic saxophone notes begin before settling into a mellow, lyrical piano and sax melody with warm string swells. Slightly off-kilter tuning counteracts the sweetness of the melody, giving it a quirky edge. Dreamlike, nostalgic and strange, would suit a reflective documentary moment or a sentimental but not sickly-sweet Film/TV sequence.

Coum DhĂneol
Mellow and sincere, 3 minutes piece of tender arpeggiated piano that playfully places itself on the boundaries between melancholy and happiness. It is gentle but firm in its unraveling, suggesting a scene where your character can face its fate without fear of failing or pain. Several applications possible, from emotion driven soundtracks to classy corporate advertising.
End of an Era
Delicate and mild, with piano and strings orchestrated in a classic manner and built to deliver poignancy and introspection at their earnest level. It swells in the middle section both in intensity and intention, to create a sense of hopefulness that contrasts the stark and rarefied beginning. Will suit coming of age stories with frail and delicate yet resolute characters.
No Sun, No Stars
Delicate and light, no frills piano solo theme that falls into romantic and emotional domains. It changes to a mildly more playful accent in the middle sections, but overall keeping an overarching melancholic feeling. Performed with a truthful and honest human touch.
Not This Day
Hugely passionate, an intense dialogue of strings intertwined beautifully to create a beautiful, varied and dynamic piece. A stream of playfulness and longing, with determined and delicate sections. This feels like an emotionally charged dance, a passionate love-making session, a frenetic game, a storm ravaging the sea. Not This Day takes us through many different states, and eventually rests with a triumphant positive end.
Chilled Atmospheric Bliss
Ethereal and delicate, a relaxing episode of synths and organs that is both looking at the inner and outer side of your character. Blissful and gently flowing up in a sky made of pink streams of consciousness, will suit utopian sci-fi and fantasy settings.
Blue Valentine
Playful with a dreamy edge, a delicate ensemble of synths that evoke a sense of futuristic exertion and in some sense an inevitable acceptance of the randomness of events. Like a child of Rutger Hauer’s Nexus 6 playing with its toys in a semi dark sitting room.
Ambient
Airy and dreamy, with a beating heart impression and a cheap electric guitar that deliver a straight and simple theme while lying on a bed of synth drones. An honest ambient tune with a sense of achievement and emotion, will suit evocative and truthful scenes that do not have to be grand at all costs.
Sky High
Atmospheric and contemplative, with a 16 bit feeling that reminds of video games from the eighties/early nineties. A hypnotic arpeggiated synth and digital flutes and bells create a sense of lightness and airiness. Zelda and Mario can finally meet up and glide azure skies with cotton candy clouds.
Frog Orchestra
Casual and light, a playful tune that happily marries orchestral patterns with modern rhythmical drum interjections. Strings, glockenspiel and brass dialogue together without engulfing the scene too much. Like being in a wet and muddy forest with a magnifying glass, observing quirky animals and such hopping around and tentatively catching up with their instincts. Simple and nice theme that is repeated throughout the tune in an ABAB fashion.
