Aggressive and dissonant, featuring a foreboding choir and thundering orchestral elements that create a high charged dark mood. A showy display of musical impending evil, ideal for supernatural thrillers and action oriented horror films.
Disturbed and suspenseful, with piano solo as lead instrument and a symphonic orchestra that deliver unsettling flashes of dark energy. It follows an A-B-A structure, with a huge spike – both in sound and emotional impact – in the middle section. Great for horrors, thrillers and supernatural themes.
Sparse tragic solo piano, desolate, empty, sad and grief stricken, with a hint of the Middle East. If you were going to have a soundtrack to the devastation and carnage left behind by war, this would be it.
Uneasy tones, starting with radio static and joined by metallic morphing harmonies. Perfect backdrop for suspense and drama. Expansive and desolate.
Versions with acoustic guitar and minimal acoustic guitar
Toy pianos, xylophones and harmoniums evoke a mischievous dancing simian. Atonal elements make this a vaguely sinister piece. Something is going wrong in the toy world.
Rousing war horns intro, industrial beats and bass line develop into searing synth arpeggios, with ghostly vocals rising to a dark crescendo.
Piano over an ambient score or orchestral strings. Unsettling, dark and portentous. Slow.
Dramatic orchestral string track with piano. Expressive strings soar over fast-moving piano arpeggios, creating a melancholy wash of yearning and unfulfilled desires. Powerful, dynamic and passionate, perfect for an uptight British TV drama concerning repressed lovers.
Minimal piano track. Polyrhythmic piano lines interweave creating a continuous, flowing waterfall effect. Sweet yet dissonant, atmospheric and turbulent. A dreamlike cacophony in the mid-section, before an expressive, virtuosic, yet disturbed, finish. Suited to an unsettling Film/TV scene, a psychological horror reflecting the characters tumultuous experiences.
Sparse, western acoustic guitar track. Desolate Americana with touches of harsh slide guitar, like something out of a tense, Ry Cooder-scored Western. Atmospheric, strange and nostalgic, would suit a cowboy parody or Western-style advert or TV scene/documentary.
