Swings and Roundabouts

Quirky brass and percussion instrumental. Jazzy drum intro, catchy melody kicks in on woodwind, underpinned by rollicking drums and playful bass guitar. A short drum break then back to the full melody. Fun, joyful, silly and breezy, a short ad length ditty, would suit a light-hearted commercial featuring cute kids running around with cute dogs unravelling loads of toilet paper. Would also suit kids TV interludes.

Drums and Bass Only version available.

30 sec ad length version available.

Everything is going to be alright in the wide American open. Wholesome, unmistakably positive and with a message of hope. Full band with piano, strummed acoustic guitar, joined by harmonica and some confident hammond organ later in the song. Earnest and optimistic. Good for American adverts about family, getting together, doing nice things.

Driving strings and piano track. Opening of plucked strings into a the catchy main melody on warm, earthy strings. Piano chords join to punctuate the melody. Light drums build anticipation with a piano counter-melody. Drums drop out for a violin and gently strummed guitar break. Thoughtful, measured piano chords before a return to the build up. Drums kick in and the melody is in full swing. Hand clap-style percussion adds interest at the next break, stay in as the tune builds once more to a triumphant end. Ambitious, hopeful, excited, perfect for a decisive, emotional moment on Film/TV, for epic sports coverage on TV, or for an air-punching, life-affirming advert.

Solo jazz piano. Romantic intro of blissful exotic jazz chords, full melody of chordal 4ths calls to mind Erik Satie or Japanese-inspired classical composition a lĂ  Madame Butterfly. Delicate waltz section, playing around with the same Eastern-inspired chords. Hopeful, loving, content, would suit a romantic Film/TV scene where a smitten character floats on a wave of love. Would also suit a soothing, peaceful advert for a beautiful object or luxurious service.

Country instrumental with slide guitar. Confident slide guitar accompanied by steady drums, bass and acoustic guitar to start. Honky tonk rhythm introduced on electric guitar, adds texture. Country-style violin solos over the groove. The slide re-enters accompanied by choppy violin. Upbeat, charming and fun, perfect retro, line-dancin’ country music for TV sequences and family adverts.

Atmospheric string and piano build. Ephemeral strings, echoing beat intro, gentle piano notes, strings drone building anticipation. Piano chords then opens up with sustained strings, drums, guitar and tambourine. A quiet section, the best remains then drops out, just piano and light strings to finish. Determined, ambitious, striving and positive, would suit an advert for a powerful, reliable car, or a success against the odds on TV/Film.

Windswept

Emotional and delicate, a pianoforte performance that makes sapient use of harmonics and arpeggio technique to deliver a poignant yet firm episode of music. It builds a substantial amount of emotional content without never being too blatant or showy. This would suit romantic dramas and similar applications, possibly where a solo character is involved.

Two part brass instrumental. Unsteady jazz piano and erratic saxophone notes begin before settling into a mellow, lyrical piano and sax melody with warm string swells. Slightly off-kilter tuning counteracts the sweetness of the melody, giving it a quirky edge. Dreamlike, nostalgic and strange, would suit a reflective documentary moment or a sentimental but not sickly-sweet Film/TV sequence.

Mellow and sincere, 3 minutes piece of tender arpeggiated piano that playfully places itself on the boundaries between melancholy and happiness. It is gentle but firm in its unraveling, suggesting a scene where your character can face its fate without fear of failing or pain. Several applications possible, from emotion driven soundtracks to classy corporate advertising.
