Soulful piano brings wistful sophistication. Downbeat and nostalgic, yet bright and hopeful, instrumental bedroom hip hop to suit onscreen romance or gentle, thoughtful content.

Harlequin
Downbeat EDM. Throbbing bass line with hard hi-hat hits. Sombre piano introduced, becoming melancholy chords, along with added beats.

Roots (Suite)
Acoustic guitar and piano track with experimental elements. Gentle acoustic guitar punctuated with electronic noise and water sounds.

Mysterious, cheeky and subversive, brings to mind a magical woodland scene of trees going walkies while your back is turned. Perfect for TV/Film/Docs, pastoral settings and subtly powerful storytelling.
Bed version is more intimate, featuring more raw, sparse acoustic guitar, brings out the scratchy, barely-there violin and teasing background noise.
War and Peace
Melodramatic orchestral string and piano track. Melancholy piano chordal intro. Dramatic male choral samples and sombre violin join, adding drama and intrigue.

Come Through
Downbeat electronic RnB track. Warm piano chord progression, muted, syncopated beats, vocal samples and dreamy reverb build a sultry, expectant atmosphere. Trap beats and breathy Enya-like female vocals added. Warm, fat, nostalgic synths join with electric guitar flourishes cutting through the haze. Cool, clear synth like water droplets takes on the chord progression before a full ending. Romantic, nostalgic and hopeful, like if the Drive soundtrack was a bit more RnB. A subtly determined soundscape, perfect for pensive and decisive TV/Film/Doc moments, ultimately leaving the past behind.
Breeze
Atmospheric electronic track. Japanese-sounding chiming percussion, textural water sounds, shakers, rattling beats and melodic beats growing in intensity. A definitive gong and a trail of dripping water to finish.
