In the Dead of the Night

Pensive and somber, with an overarching negative mood given by bassy orchestral drones and subtle electronics. The middle section features a poignant counterpoint between a cello and an oboe. A sparse and saturnine sense of the inevitable leaning to Hollywood style romance stories.

Dawn

Serene and heartwarming, with a playful small orchestra that delightfully instils a sense of discovery and earthy feelings. Will suit nature documentaries and animations. Tender and relaxing mood with springtime, flowers, and butterflies in mind.

Goodbye

Wistful but hopeful, a classically orchestrated episode of musical tenderness and gentleness with a poignant piano theme complemented by soothing orchestral strings. It resonates with emotional and melancholic characters, and will suit period and modern drama productions.

The Ballydesmond

Playful and bright, with a cheerful harmonica, fiddle, acoustic guitars and percussion that make for a lively folk setting with a festive mood. Remainders of Irish and Scottish countryside, will suit village celebration scenes, travel montage.

Before My Time is Done

Hypnotic and earthy, with soft percussive elements, acoustic guitars and a mellow leading fiddle that take us into world/folk territories without being too flashy. Sounds like venturing into the wild unknown but you have all your marbles with you and you know what your are doing. See, if only Leonardo had this music in The Revenant, he wouldn’t have been molested by a bear.

Typecast Credits

Contemplative guitar and drone track. Acoustic guitar plucking a sparse melody above a subtle sitar-like drone. Simple, thoughtful, meditative and atmospheric, perfect for a slow-moving TV/Doc scene over a beautiful vista.

Letter to Val

Solo slide guitar track. Slow, expressive acoustic guitar in an improvised style. Free rhythm with a plodding feel, melodies emerging from the swampy atmosphere. Moved to higher register slides for a finish. Chilled, calm and nostalgic, a retro American-style blues track with heart and soul, perfect for factual documentaries, nature programmes or peaceful adverts.

Hump Back Blues

Jaunty acoustic guitar track. Solo blues guitar in finger-picking style, breezy and cheerful. Hints of jazz and improv in the mid-section. Slower, more expressive section to finish. Nostalgic, thoughtful and pastoral, would suit fun, American style TV/Film scenes or a playful nature documentary tracking fun-loving animals.

Interlude

Cheerful acoustic folk. Solo acoustic guitar plays a sparse, gentle melody, accompanying itself with finger-picking techniques. Bright, hopeful and nostalgic, a warm bluesy acoustic track suitable for nature documentaries, or peaceful, pastoral Film/TV scenes of reflective reverie.

      Interlude

Rituals and Pastimes

Jolly folk track on acoustic guitar. Finger-picking guitar in a blues/country style, cheerful, gently building in emotion. Mid-tempo, slowing to a more expressive finish. Perfect for a nature documentary about woodland animals or the spritely adventures of creatures of the great outdoors.
