Even Once (Suite)

Wistful solo jazz piano. A sustained note intro like raindrops followed by jazz chords, piano trills and a full melody. Pastoral, breathless and new, calling to mind the natural landscape, would suit a thoughtful film/doc/TV scene passing over a lush landscape refreshed and awake after a storm or a long winter.

Multi-instrumental version with warm strings, mellow saxophone and shuffling percussion joined by tinkling piano and a freak folk chorus of faraway voices, calling to mind Wickerman-style pagan England.

Uplifting acoustic guitar track. Gentle, hopeful acoustic guitar riff, sparse drum beats punctuate the melody. Shaker percussion, piano chords and subtle bass guitar introduced. A slight build then back to the opening mood. Mellow, warm and positive, evoking the potential of America’s wide open plains. Would suit a cosy TV sequence or a advert for a company who want to take life’s problems off your hands. Sunshine after the rain.

Epic orchestral soundtrack. Cinematic soaring strings, choppy dynamic violins, triumphant horns and rumbling percussive flourishes. Quieter section features female wordless vocals, chugging percussion and strings before a busier horn and string section to finish. Proud, dignified and victorious, suited to a classic blockbuster action film or and advert for an epic computer game, or a bombastic event.

Cinematic orchestral track. Rumbling percussion, horn blasts, soaring orchestral strings and disruptive glitches, play out over a futuristic battlefield. Dramatic and threatening but hopeful, would suit a wartime thriller set in a dystopian future or an advert evoking a challenge of epic proportions.

Uplifting orchestral track. Warm orchestral strings and sparkling percussion with added harp, drums and choral vocals. A merry dance with a festive feel, somehow Christmassy although imbued with golden sunshine. Delicate, bright and brimming with hope, would suit an advert for an exciting, magical event or a warm and hopeful TV/Film moment.

Feel-good piano, guitar and vocal track. Easy-going acoustic guitar and a groovy piano melody to start with jazzy finger snaps, tambourine and playful Hammond organ. Kids simple vocal scat enters, giving a Sesame Street vibe. Happy, content, bright and hopeful, a fun, laid-back ditty for quirky adverts with cute puppies, or as a kids TV theme tune.

60 sec, 30 sec and 15 sec ad length versions available.

Gentle hangdrum and percussion track. Sparse hangdrum, drone-like overtones joined by rhythmic drums and percussive shuffles reminiscent of Moondog. Calm, peaceful and chilled, perfect meditative background music for nature documentaries or introspective Film/TV scenes.

Driving, hopeful piano instrumental. Piano, acoustic guitar and muted percussion intro before the percussion takes off, galloping at a steady pace throughout. Subtle percussive electric guitar chord break before piano takes over, constantly building and reaching out for the finish line. Positive, energetic, upbeat and soul-searching, suitable for feel-good adverts, motivating music that will help you to follow your dreams.

Vocal version features female ‘aaahs’ and a American-style gentle male vocal.

Cinematic track with Japanese elements. Sustained synth strings and a plucked Japanese-style melody on a hammer-dulcimer. Effects-laden, quacking synth break before returning to the regal, traditional-style melodic idea over anticipatory percussion. Reserved, expectant, hopeful and adventurous, perfect for a game soundtrack or for a fantasy-movie sequence featuring a noble, brave character setting off on an important, magical quest.

Tense, percussive electronic track. High-tension, high-pitched, high-speed cowbell beats over sparse pounding drums and fleeting percussive and electronic effects. A trance synth beat takes things down before piano chords introduce a hyperactive finale. Nerve-wracking, exciting and full of anticipation, a nail-biting percussive race with Balearic House vibes, suitable for a any TV/Film/Advert scene where the heat is on and the clock is ticking.
