Repetitive and flowing, it starts tense with a rhythmical bass synth. Soon a detuned piano enters the scene to counter balance the darkness with some emotional lighter ideas. The bass follows it as a drum section slowly creeps in and helps in gaining strength to the tune. There is sense of longing and broken romance, but defiance and challenge are definitely ahead. Somewhat in between hi-tech and retro.

Damage
Dreamy and emotional but polluted in its arrangement, with digitally distorted synthesisers that swoop around the sonic sky and create an interesting black and white post apocalyptic romance theme. Futuristic and hypnotic, there is also a nice and straight kick drum bouncing on the lower spectrum of frequencies that help in establishing a catchy danceable rhythm.
Captured
Dark and sneaky, a synthesised bass drone decorated with prepared piano inserts and strings articulations that bring in a cheap horror feeling with an industrial element. This will nicely go along with those kind of thrillers and horrors where everyone in the audience thinks: “Really?”. For scary exploitation and b-movies with an ironic edge.
Attack!
Powerful and majestic, with a delicate intro made of dreamy bells that lead to energetic flashes of orchestral spikes. Solemn and dark, it gradually grows in intensity and delivers a great background for supernatural thrillers and fantasy-like settings.
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.
Hide and Seek
Dark and hypnotic, with a wobbly bass synth and groovy drum beats that make for a deranged industrial setting. Challenging moments ahead. Feels like being underwater. Will suit sci-fi and dystopian worlds.
Dooms and Chills
Mysterious and saturnine, with filling bassy drones and evoking swarms of synths that create a sense of uneasiness and dark anticipation. Steady until 2:50, it then builds up to a more loaded setting at 4:00, and then delivers different thrilling flavours shifting every couple of minutes. Great for thrillers, horrors and psychological settings.
Secluded Blue
Suspenseful and hypnotic, featuring synth loops and acid arpeggios that bring a sense of dark and unsettling emotional content to the listener. Complemented by a slightly retro and mildly epic progression in the last part.
Ready for Battle
Deranged and flashy, with lots of orchestral modulations, percussive inserts, and flashing repetitions that create a fast and action packed cue. Flamboyant, slightly blatant retro orchestral setting ideal for fantasy, video games and b-movies.
Macedonian Phalanx
Featuring a marked epic accent and a schizophrenic middle-age influence, with orchestral percussive elements, choirs and a synthetic brass section that create a quirky and fantasy-like setting. Great for over the top ancient battles and medieval sieges.
