Brasil

Warm and sincere, an ambient episode with traces of tender melancholic elements. Emotional acoustic arpeggios and evocative solos of trumpet and acoustic guitar create a wonderful sense of longing in space and time. As the title suggests, there is indeed a south American edge here, but definitely more in a calm-sunset-on-a-beach sausade way than carnival party time.

Manifesto

Emotional and tender, with an all in open-pedal piano and a light orchestral arrangement that make for a classic inspirational tune. With a grandiose feeling and a straight rhythmical pattern that gradually takes over until the end, it will suit classy short form advertising that musically needs to match a gradual grow in intensity without being too blatant.

Adventure Reality

Weird and bouncy, with syncopated djambees and a tentative double bass that dialogue together in a sort of silly and somewhat sinister 30 seconds of music. It has an interesting edge of dark playfulness that will suit off-advertising but also mickey-mousing of animated characters. Drunk and Disney.

Anhedonia

Serene and dreamy, with ethereal sound effects, soothing strings and a sequence of mellow piano chords that deliver an ambient and relaxing feeling. It has a steady progression over the 5 minutes running time. Gradually taking the listeners to uplifting regions (especially from 2:30 onwards), this will serve well romantic dramas, and corporate and inspirational videos with a big heart.

Sunrise in an Alien Zoo

Mysterious, epic and progressive, a slow chordal progression with bassey undertones to an electronic pulse, to 3:44 where more distinct melodic elements appear. A quiet breakdown at around 6:00, before a definitive lead electronic riff appears at 6:30 to build in complexity to a relaxed electronic climax. Basically you probably would listen to this if you took some psychedelics, or at least listening to this will make you feel like you are on some sort of psychedelics. Imagine the soundtrack to a robotic world fizzing with colour and happiness, with no humans. Ahhh what a lovely thought.

Luca’s Dream

Mysterious and magical, with a smooth vibraphone that tenderly takes you in a dream made of castles of sand, a lonely journey with unknown obstacles but a hopeful resolution. Fantasy settings and dreamy sequences are welcome here.

Kin

Calm and contemplative, with hypnotic pianos and smooth electronic loops that make clever use of sound design techniques to bring a futuristic flavour to the table. Will suit emotionally charged scenes seasoned with synthetic fragmentations.

Haunt

Experimental and spooky, with processed layers of electronics and chunks of instrumental loops that evoke an unsettling but overall soothing feeling. It touches that sweet spot of music and sound design. Out in the ocean, dolphins on a trippy underwater journey.

Island Groove

Bouncy and off episodic, with a low-fi accent made up of retro synths and gated reverbs. An interesting remainders of old video games such as Super Mario Bros and Zelda. Playful and quirky, it will follow your character as it tries to tentatively survive in a world full of giant mushrooms and sneaky turtles.

War in a dark world

Epic with a mystical accent, starts with long low pitched pads and an otherworldly vocal part that evolves into a multi layered evocative choir. At 1:45 becomes more rhythmical thanks to an energetic orchestral arrangement and strong percussive elements. Ancient armies on the verge of a war with supernatural forces.
