Drina’s Heart

European jazz track. Plodding acoustic guitar and piano chords with steady, walking double bass, drums and accordion chords. Brazen violin plays an improvised melody on top. Accordion takes over on melody with playful snatches, before back to violin. Laid back and chilled, with a seductive and intriguing quality, perfect for advert/TV scenes evoking a retro idea of Paris – cobbled streets, tiny cars and sexy people.

Bed track available sans violin.

Ascent

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.

Eternity

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.

The Return

Cinematic orchestral thriller. Tense, choppy string motif, building in intensity, joined by horn blasts and rumbling percussion. Grows to a powerful, lyrical melody, determined and triumphant, before a quiet final section on piano. Exciting, dramatic and exhilarating, perfect for a cinematic adventure sequence, or ambitious advert lampooning this style.

Born Again

Epic orchestral film music. Atmospheric noise like rain on the windowpane before the orchestral strings enter with a slow, powerful melody. A quiet moment of melancholy chordal piano before a percussive slow build with choppy, tension-building strings and lush, dramatic sustained strings. End on a quiet piano note. Dramatic and sombre with a hint of hope, perfect bombastic film soundtrack music for an ambitious advert or heightened moment of drama onscreen.

Ambling

Relaxed reggae/jazz track. Mellow, plodding bass with a slow guitar skank to start. Laid back brass enters, piano solos around the same riff, followed by a strange meandering reverb-heavy sax solo. All then riff together to an unexpected electronic ending. Warm, relaxed, jazzy yet sparse, subtle reggae to suit a blissed-out advert or Film/TV scenes of lazing on a Caribbean island, or chilling in a hot and hazy inner city block party.

Opening

Orchestral soundscape. High register sustained strings, rhythmic piano motifs and bass drones create a lush, mysterious soundscape. Jerky, stop-start moments and dark harmonies create slight unease until the chords resolve again. Reflective, heartfelt and troubled, quietly powerful soundtrack music to suit a desolate landscape or a thought-provoking visual.

You Got the Sun

Laid back country rock track. Funky electric guitar riff with solid bass guitar, steady drums and bright piano chords. Slightly psychedelic, slightly brit-pop but mostly country pop/rock instrumental, Oasis’ long-lost country album. Upbeat and happy-go-lucky like a cheeky cowboy, would suit relaxed adverts for American-style foodstuffs or an easy, breezy TV/Realty TV scene.
