The title is taken from this piece of graffiti on the Berlin Wall. Piano and classic guitar led, with gamelan, and a string section. Tender, hopeful and positive with hypnotic piano riffs revolving in the background. A pause leads to a frenetic middle section which bursts into a sudden epic string section, similarly disappearing to leave a tender vulnerable ending. Nods to Steve Reich, The Penguin Cafe Orchestra and The Books.
Thoughtful sad piano with raindrop-like percussion states a strong melodic motif, slowly joined by gentle strings and delicate triangle. At 1:56 a hopeful bridge introduces pulsing cellos building to a full-bodied, quickened restatement of the main theme, then a gradual shift downwards in energy and tempo for a relaxed and pensive end. Good for campaign videos with a strong serious message.
Reflective, dark and searching, with deep repetitive timpani and a sorrowful piano performance that play in the low range of frequencies to deliver a poignant feeling of inevitability. Something big is happening. It steadily grows in intensity as a compelling string ensemble builds and builds. Our protagonist is finally ready to accept the consequences of an inevitable, dramatic reality.
Slow and intense, a solo piano tune with a long reverb that conjures images of dreamy, haunted angels. It has a somewhat plasticky feeling that hits somewhere in the middle of being for real or just daydreaming. As it progresses the mood shifts into epic territories using long form drones and high pitched synth instances. We are probably watching passers-by from the top of an evanescent skyscraper.
A dreamy and ethereal start, with a filtered piano and marching percussion that create a somewhat emotional and grand feeling. In a continuous and constant progression, it gains decisive strength after minute 3, where the scene is complemented by other orchestral elements, such as a soothing cello and high pithed orchestral strings. With its full power ending, it will suit cinematic sequences that have a need to gradually transform introversion and emotional content in something grandiose and epic.
Airy and positive, with effective piano chords and a pop-rock arrangement that complement the scene from 1:00 onwards. Claps and pizzicato strings add lightness and fun at minute 1:30. We are decisively in the corporate/showcase videos domain, although this is done with a warm and classy touch that will suit high level products, definitely inspirational without being too disruptive.
Emotional and tender, with an all in open-pedal piano and a light orchestral arrangement that make for a classic inspirational tune. With a grandiose feeling and a straight rhythmical pattern that gradually takes over until the end, it will suit classy short form advertising that musically needs to match a gradual grow in intensity without being too blatant.
Peaceful and bright, with a confident yet tender acoustic guitar and delicate piano inserts that build a relaxing and mellow episode of music. It gains strength and develops harmonically in the last 30 seconds. A bass guitar helps to deliver an effective coda that will suit the end of a cinematic sequence or advertising pieces.
Calm and repetitive, with a sentimental reverberated piano and a light touched glockenspiel that take us around for one of those long and longing Sunday afternoons. It’s cold but also strangely hopeful. A natural complement for your broken characters, the ones that never know where to look for a glimpse of deserved tranquillity and happiness.
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.
