In Dry, Glassy Air
Mysterious solo piano track. Busy, melancholy piano melody over sparse, broken chords, moving between major and minor, from darkness and confusion to moments of light. Simple, curious and reflective, like an conversation with yourself, would suit a thoughtful, wintry TV/Film moment or puzzling documentary scene.
Sea Scales
Reflective solo piano track. Gentle, emotional repeated piano phrases over broken piano chords. Imagine rain trickling down the windowpane outside on a grey autumn day. Nostalgic, heartfelt and introspective, soul-searching piano, perfect for a film soundtrack, think American Beauty transferred to a crisp New England landscape.
Old Roots
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.
Salt Sea Wind
Reflective solo piano track. Melancholy piano melody with undulating broken piano chords beneath. Emotional movement and expressive phrasing. Sad, yearning and romantic, a cry to a long-lost love or bygone time of happiness and gaiety, perfect for a desolate, dramatic TV/Film scene.
Circles
Lyrical solo piano track. Ripples of gentle piano, repetitive descending motifs like rainfall. Grows in intensity, joined by deep, emotive strings. Returns to slowed-down solo piano. Lush, heady and nostalgic, suitable for pensive onscreen longing. Still yearning for lost love but soon the world opens up afresh in the cycle of life.
Murmurations
Minimalist-style solo piano track. Repetitive, undulating broken piano chords shifting slowly, extra bass notes added, changes to a polyrthythmic section before an emotional piano build section. Bright, hopeful and reflective, would suit an intense TV or film moment, heightened emotions and a vast beautiful landscape.
Dayenu (Suite)
Uplifting piano and strings build. Two soothing piano lines playing broken chords, joined by gently plucked harmonising acoustic guitar. Bass guitar and drums add depth and a sense of anticipation. The pace builds on drums, orchestral strings enter subtly before a quiet piano break. Strings re-enter, guitar, then piano, drums signal a change, then into the song full throttle, ending on a curious triumphant horn note. Gentle but excited, happy, hopeful and positive, perfect for a advert for health matters, a trustworthy or ambitious service doing good for your family.

In Response
A warm jazz-influenced piano instrumental. A simple call and answer piano introduces the main melodic motif. This theme is developed through the piece into fuller jazz chords and improvised jazzy melodic fills. Slight change in tone then returns to the original motif. Warm, comfortable, secure and wholesome, made for a film/tv soundtrack to an emotional reunion or a goodbye-for-now-, set in a east coast US town as the leaves turn shades of red and gold.
A Lack of Conviction
Soothing solo piano track. Introspective, warm piano chords, simple melodic piano motif. Calm, searching, slow-paced, a hint of sadness and regret, but with acceptance and hope. Perfect for the aftermath of an emotional goodbye, as we survey what is left.
