Dark and groovy, with a low-key drum machine beat and gritty inserts of synth and classical instruments that make for a mysterious and hypnotic ambient setting. Minimal and foreboding but not without a sense of humour, good for introspective and quirky scenes. We’re definitely waiting for something to happen.

The Escape
Celebratory and epic orchestral score, with lush and powerful arrangement. Bold brass, balzato strings and engaging harp strums. A marked sense of discovery and grandioseness, with echoes of ancient battles and conquests. Perfect for celebration scenes and big epic sequences.
Pathways
Hypnotic with a dissonant edge, featuring an upright piano, acoustic guitar-led arpeggios and a strings section. There is an interesting combination of a delicate and playful mood with disturbing inserts of harmonic madness, mainly given by the piano. Great fit for scenes where your audience needs to know that something in our character is starting to drift.
Gentle Struggles
Melancholic and intimate, featuring a dreamy figure of glockenspiel notes and a light arrangement driven by a piano and a small orchestra. A flute takes over the theme at 1:40 and presents us to a final section slightly more rhythmical with pizzicato strings and playful woodwinds. Great for scenes with a nostalgic and tender yet hopeful feeling.
Death Is a She Named Barsheen
Groovy and suspenseful, with alluring mystical vocals and a dark progressive synth-led rhythmical pattern that evoke exotic worlds caged in a first period Massive Attack-like tune. Structured in three parts, it builds up to 1:30 and then delivers a minute of aggressiveness led by a gritty electric guitar. Wonderful as background and title sequences for futuristic, dystopian and ancient/exotic settings.
Where’s the Justice
Light and smooth, with solid acoustic guitars and honest vocals that make for a warm pop-rock episode with a folk edge. Variation to the main theme at 1:40 seconds. Ideal for light advertising, end title sequences and modern dramas.
Kafka Was Here
Catchy and playful, with Jazz elements such as alto sax, piano, contrabass and drums to deliver a smooth and swing feel. It follows an A-A-B-A structure and features solos by sax, piano and bass. Great for scoring comedies, adverts and as background music.
Headspace
Fun and optimistic, featuring crunchy guitars and a catchy whistle tune that makes for a fun indie-pop tune. Pauses at 2:00 and then gradually rebuilds towards the end section. Ideal for corporate videos, ads, charities and opening/closing credits. Alternative versions with vocals and plain instrumental available.
Secluded Blue
Suspenseful and hypnotic, featuring synth loops and acid arpeggios that bring a sense of dark and unsettling emotional content to the listener. Complemented by a slightly retro and mildly epic progression in the last part.
Into the Cage
Unsettling and dissonant, with an interesting low-fi accent and a set of disquieting piano chords that establish a loaded texture full of pollution and grittiness. Will suit quirky characters slowly drifting into madness, post-apocalyptic settings, dark underwater animations.
