Mantis

Folk fusion instrumental on Cretan lyra and fiddle. A cirucular melody on Cretan lyra is doubled on fiddle and joined by subtle percussive hand claps, sounding at once like Austrian mountain folk without the yodelling and like a weaving Middle Eastern melody. Thoughtful and open yet formulaic in its structure, wandering music for an epic nature walk, perfect for a travel or nature documentary.

Get Your Groove On

Upbeat 80s/90s-style pop track. Hand-clap intro before bouncy beats bust in with a fat synth melody. Sparkling synth punctuates the track while synth lines and and jolly beats dance around each other. Clubby synth break removes the melody bringing a harder vibe. Like a gently euphoric Pet Shop Boys track, bright and bouncy but with a hint of nostalgia, perfect background music for a cheeky advert or TV segment.

Glasshouse Studies III

Slow, emotive piano track with violin and clarinet. Sparse, atmospheric piano, chords resonating, single piano notes ringing out above. Passionate violin enters with long, languid notes full of yearning. Clarinet takes over on melody, before both intertwine for the final section. Heartfelt, gentle and melancholy, perfect tender soundtrack to a moving Film/TV scene.

Polished EDM/Pop. Punchy from the get-go with arpeggiated synth lines, twinkling sound effects, a bouncy synth melody and beats. A build with relentless beats speeding up to the drop. Bright, euphoric synths joined by crunchy beats, bright, sparkly and upbeat. Happy, carefree and reckless, Calvin Harris/Skrillex-style summer jam for Reality TV or a documentary about the youth going on raucous, boozy holidays.

Bite the Biscuit (Suite)

Glossy summery pop. Laid back, anticipatory fingersnap-style intro with a melodic synth motif. Bass beat kicks in, subtle trap beats build before it drops to a bouncy synth melody with trap beats. Chunky synth and cute, steelpan-like, Caribbean synth melodies float on top. Happy, positive and wide-eyed. Hopeful summer track with Justin Bieber-style production, perfect backdrop to a blissful, fun holiday scene on a tropical island.

The Militant Upcycle

Bloopy, psychedelic electronic track. Gentle, reverb-laden synth patterns, repeated, morphing into a noisier sound, growing more intense. A wash of fuzzy, atmospheric noise drowns out the synth melodies. Hints of My Bloody Valentine, Stereolab, Broadcast and Air, sepia-tinted electronics mingle with harsh noise in a satisfying contrast. Warm, gentle, searching and plodding to begin with, more intense, powerful and expansive as the track progresses. Perfect atmospheric film or documentary music, retro-futuristic and edgy, reminiscent of the Lost in Translation soundtrack.

Breezy and slightly exotic downbeat techno, imagine dancing ’til dawn on a beach in Thailand, perfect background music for a TV show or documentary focusing aspects of youth culture, or global travel.
