Pensive and somber, with an overarching negative mood given by bassy orchestral drones and subtle electronics. The middle section features a poignant counterpoint between a cello and an oboe. A sparse and saturnine sense of the inevitable leaning to Hollywood style romance stories.
Reflective and hypnotic, with repetitive piano arpeggios and a piercing theme that gets somewhere in between being sentimental and slightly angry. Emotional with a lot of resentment, will suit lonely characters and their regrets.
Evocative and hypnotic, featuring mildly dissonant textures beautifully orchestrated for strings. Enigmatic and reflective, charged and dynamic delivering an evolving range of emotions and classical string textures.
Intensely sad but not lost in its entirety, with soothing background strings and a yearning dark violin solo theme that unravel otherworldly laments upon the inevitable realisation of an unbearable truth. Will suit emotional and melancholic scenes.
Disturbed and suspenseful, with piano solo as lead instrument and a symphonic orchestra that deliver unsettling flashes of dark energy. It follows an A-B-A structure, with a huge spike – both in sound and emotional impact – in the middle section. Great for horrors, thrillers and supernatural themes.
Dark and emotional, vivid orchestral strings and introspective electronic drums establish a steady progression where the psychological stakes are high. A violin breaks the tension with a positive opening at 1:00. Piano inserts help to resume in intensity and move to a somewhat grand finale, with harp, flute and violin. Will suite sad and melancholic yet decision-driven sequences, where an action must be taken soon to solve the situation.
With troubled chords and unsettling textures, a full orchestra is summoned to establish a mysterious and hypnotic sense of longing. First violins deliver the main theme at 0:38, leading to an emotional opening in the middle section. Heavy percussions add layers of dramatic intensity for a compelling final crescendo. Suitable for dramas, introspective yet disturbing scenes a la Roque Banos’ The Machinist soundtrack.
Emotional piano-led track. Sparse piano intro, joined by melancholy orchestral strings. String swell, subtle drums and a rhythmic piano motif, growing in confidence and strength. Slowly building, dialogue between strings and piano. Effects-laden piano gives a cold electronic edge. Reflective, yearning and questioning, would suit a TV/Doc sequence of high emotional intensity or a pensive moment on film.
Sparse tragic solo piano, desolate, empty, sad and grief stricken, with a hint of the Middle East. If you were going to have a soundtrack to the devastation and carnage left behind by war, this would be it.
Simple acoustic guitar picking is joined by bells and pulsing strings, developing into a charged track with feelings of darkness, struggle and glints of hope. Different sections bring in instruments like harp and xylophone for a short period of light relief, then the track races to its end with dramatic string crescendo.
