Fantasy synth track. Soft arpeggiated synth and ambient water sounds morph into a dreamy, repetitive synth melody. Drops to delicate wash of gentle dusky synths, morphing to a quieter sound with birds and flowing streams conjuring images of an idyllic natural world. Pastoral, combining nature and technology, beautiful, like an ambient, instrumental Grimes track, would suit nature documentaries, warm yet futuristic TV scenes and atmospheric podcasting.

Home in the Country

Chilled, magical and sparkling, like a computer game dreamworld, nostalgic for the future, perfect for contemporary documentaries or fantasy Film/TV.
Dark Jungle
Tense drum ‘n’ bass track. Drum ‘n’ Bass breaks over woozy, neon synths. Strange modulations and cold electronics effects create an unnerving and hypnotic atmosphere. Intense, direct and single-minded with a contrasting softness from the synths, would suit a serious documentary about youth or urban issues, or a reality TV montage.
Ruins of an Era
Tense synth and piano track. Sparse, anticipatory piano intro with soft synth string chords. Single piano notes ring out building to a sombre choral section on synth, like a grandiose church choir. Echoed on strings, lush and moving before a sudden choppy string section brings the track to a close. Dark, foreboding and full of suspense, an apocalyptic soundscape for when technology has consumed humanity.
