Tresero A Maggio

Percussive hangdrum-led track. Melodic hangdrum and driving percussion lead an atmospheric instrumental. More melodic handpan section before the close. Anticipatory, excited and shrouded in mystery, perfect for nature or travel docs, imagine catching glimpses of lush foliage from train speeding high on a mountain track.

Interlude is more sparse, without the driving rhythms at first, building momentum and rhythmic intensity toward the end of the track.

Ambient, uplifting guitar track with electronic and orchestral elements. Woodwind intro like a call to the wind. Atmospheric, bleepy electronics seep in, joined by heavily effects-laden electric guitar cutting through the dreamy atmosphere. Horns and woodwind add to the growing soundscape. Incongruous electronics and spacey synths add off-kilter interest. Woozy, peaceful and meditative, a hopeful, enveloping atmosphere suited to TV Drama, inspiring documentaries or epic adverts.

Atmospheric hang drum track. Repeated melodic phrase on handpan, like heavy water droplets. Synth drones and hangdrum overtones hang still and suspended in the atmosphere. Woodwind-like sustained notes and percussive hits add colour. Calm, thoughtful and introspective. Still and reflective with a hint of mystery, perfect for nature docs or mysterious, other-worldly film scenes.

Gentle synth and guitar track. Bubbling arpeggiated synth grows beneath a effects-laden, melodic electric guitar line. Bright, glassy synth chordal interlude before snare drum effects are added creating a polyrhythmic soundscape. Regular drums and colourful, broad synth chords join, adding depth. Sweet, positive and hopeful, a softer Beach House, perfect for immersive, colourful adverts, futuristic but cute.

Gentle, beautiful Spanish guitar track. Wistful broken acoustic guitar chords, repeated an octave higher. Track builds with added strummed guitar and brighter melodic phrases. Warm, sweet and colourful. Red, orange and gold, like a summer sunset in a rural Spanish village, with a nod to the Wild West. Perfect for a seductive advert for Stella Artois, or a reflective film sequence.

Immersive synth track. Arpeggiated bouncy beats and glistening, anticipatory synth chords ring out over a whooshing bed of warm synths. Driven, determined and quietly epic, perfect Chariots of Fire-style tension-building music before a cheesy, triumphant victory.

Atmospheric 80s-style synthscape. Broken, questioning synth chords, like something out of Twin Peaks, seeming calm but building tension with shifting chords. Later added electric guitar, electronic sound effects and sparkling synths lines. Mysterious, unsettling and yet peaceful at times, lulling you in to a false sense of security. Suitable for melodramatic Film/TV moments, or a cheesy advert parodying this.

Melancholy solo piano track. Thoughtful, yearning piano melody over simple, repeated two-note patterns on piano. Grows in volume and intensity with lower register piano accompaniment and added interest with Bach-like modulation. Slow, solemn and restrained, a desolate piece, perfect for a quiet onscreen tragedy or a rain-sodden, lonely, rural scene of sparse neglect.

Romantic jazz track with saxophone. Soaring, emotional saxophone soloing over a gentle bed of double bass, drums and softly-played piano chords. Electric guitar takes a laid back solo, accompanied by double bass and shuffling drums. Sax returns, over increasingly emotive piano 7th chords. Introspective, wistful and nostalgic, a retro, heartbroken jazz club standard, perfect for a TV/Film/Doc scene full of romantic longing.

Bed track features piano chords, double bass and percussion only.
