Tonight We Drink Wine and Dance

Melancholy solo piano. Amélie-style minor oom-pah chords, growing in intensity and embellishment throughout the track. Another line of piano plays a lyrical melody above the regular chords. An energetic chorus brings a modulation and intricate break. Back to opening chords for a finish. Emotional and wretched, yet passionate, would suit an advert or TV scene requiring Gallic charm and impulsive, reckless emotion.

‘Underscore’ version features chords only, no melody line.

Euphoric electronic dance track. Piano chord progression intro, beat enters building anticipation. More beats and vocal samples, breaks into Justice or Calvin Harris-style high pitch synth line with throbbing beats. Drops back to the piano before building again. Atmospheric, suspenseful and thoughtful before the brash, euphoric chorus. Evoking the feeling of a hedonistic summer festival, would suit an advert for a youth brand.

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.

Plodding open-ended synth track with strings. Blobby beats, serious 80s/90s synths and dramatic choppy strings over a relentless steady beat. Stern, sophisticated and exotic, would suit a dramatic film scene featuring glamourous European subterfuge, or an advert for a classy product that will drive others mad with jealousy.

Dark atmospheric electronic track. Crunchy beats, dark piano samples and tense electronic samples. Brooding, menacing and threatening, a dark action film soundtrack set in an unforgiving world.

Dark, electronic trap with string samples. 90s-influenced string samples, distorted male vocal sample saying ‘ID please’, trap beats and female vocal sample begin. Joined by more fleeting string samples. Underwater section before the string-led section returns. Cool, urban and flashy in a 90s way, good music to strut to, perfect for tense, intriguing TV/Film/Doc scenes.

Requiem for L Lawson

Live instrumental acoustic guitar saga. Raw blues/folk acoustic guitar melody, repetitive melodic motifs. Lyrical mid-section to a more tense, frantic part, alternating between drama and calm moments. End section is like something out of a Western film, tense and sparse, with dramatic slide guitar, to a hopeful finger-picking final section. Sombre, dramatic and epic with moments of light, the nature of the live recording adding interesting imperfections. Different sections would suit various Film/TV/Documentary moments, would suit an American road trip or a nature documentary explore the American Wild West.

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.

Epic percussive build. Pounding drum intro, more percussion added, building layers of rhythms and heightening the tension. Full beat established, drops to melodic drum break, before full pounding percussion resumes. Excited, driven and determined, a tribal feel, calling to mind Asian music traditions, to suit epic, ambitious film soundtracks and mounting tension on screen.
