Bollywood Love

Bollywood -style track with a contemporary R’n’B edge. A snaking sitar line is followed by tablas and an electronic beat. A flute melody joins before moving to a more intense, dramatic orchestral string section. Vocal samples and a change of rhythm with jazzy hip hop drums, before going back to the original sitar motif. Seductive, mysterious, intense and edgy, would suit adverts for products reflecting diverse city environments where the traditional and the contemporary mingle; or a TV/Film sequence referencing an edgy version of the Bollywood aesthetic.

Tense orchestral, piano-driven track. After a quiet beginning on solo piano, choppy orchestral strings, pounding drums and soaring string lines take us on a journey through a threatening battleground toward redemption and a hopeful end. Epic, intense, nerve-wracking but with a light up ahead, suitable for tv/film or adverts featuring a great struggle and a barrier that must and will be overcome.

Dark, foreboding electronic track. Synth blasts, sirens sounds, screeching string samples and electronic glitches. Tense, threatening music for a post-apocalyptic world, where technology has surpassed human intelligence and machines are our unforgiving masters. Uh oh! Also suitable for sleek and powerful car adverts or an intense sports competition.

Melancholy waltz on orchestral strings. Pizzicato and legato orchestral strings move like a fast-flowing river over booming and bell-like percussion. Mid section descends into a playful circus before returning to the melody. Heartfelt, playful, wistful, slightly melancholic with a hint of magic, evoking the spirit of a resourceful French orphan or the twinkling delights of an old-fashioned fairground. Imbued with mystery and fantastical possibilities, but never far from danger…

Slapstick orchestral romp with humorous sound effects. Oom-pah rhythm underpins snatches of playful woodwind melody. This jaunty rollercoaster careers through snatches of percussion, brass and strings. Happy, quirky, ramshackle but slick, the perfect soundtrack to a slapstick pastiche of old movies or cartoons, in an advert or TV/Film setting.

Playful woodwind call and answer. Brass “bass line” gives a foundation to the intertwined flute and reed lines’ jolly game of tag above. Fun, playful, pastoral and old-fashioned, feels like we’re prancing through the countryside with Mr. Toad and friends, or a having a jaunt in a topsy-turvy English hotel by the seaside.

Dark, epic orchestral strings and piano track. Piano intro before a foreboding blast of synth brass and frenetic orchestral strings. A quiet moment of piano and a rumble of drums before an epic return to strings, and a thrilling, threatening repeated motif. Ascending strings heighten the tension before the final foghorn-like blast. Tense and uneasy, but our brazen hero is coming to the rescue. Suitable for a bombastic advert or a high tension, high stakes TV/Film moment.

Melancholy piano track with strings. Quiet, minimal piano intro, building in intensity and volume to an undulating piano section accompanied by slowly building sustained orchestral strings. Magical, tinkling piano break before the fast-moving piano returns. Orchestral strings build and build, almost drowning out the piano. Delicate piano outro. Melancholy, moving and powerful, a bit Michael Nyman-esque, a cinematic track to suit bombastic adverts or heightened TV/Film scenes.

Atmospheric drone-y electronic soundscape with church bell samples and orchestral strings. A vast, sustained plain of sound with flickers of electronics, church bell samples anchored by slowly shifting orchestral strings. Calm, tranquil, hopeful, serene and cinematic, suitable for a film/TV moment of reflection or transition, or an epic ad, evoking a mystical time.

Atmospheric slow burn with orchestral strings and electronics. A synth drone with electric guitar, fleeting electronics and a theremin-like synth line above a orchestral build bringing to mind a vast landscape. Subtle strummed guitar suggests the plains of old Western movies. Calm, relaxed, thoughtful and epic, suitable for an expansive film/tv/ad moment, a moment of calm but determined intensity.
