Game Tension

Hypnotic and dark, with a dissonant edge given by atmospheric strings pads and a drony bass synth with percussion. There’s a simple harmony and a sense of anticipation built with a delicate yet firm manner. It will serve very well as background music for video games, and TV shows with a futuristic flavour.

Distant Lands

Contemplative and poignant, featuring an ethereal yet moving piano solo figure complemented in the last section by a mellow strings section. Ideal for emotional advertising, romantic movie scenes, and end title sequences.

Melancholia

Ethereal and alluring, with dissonant injections of strings and a seductive intro that steadily grows both in intensity and instrumentation. Several counterpoints and variations caged in a medium-big orchestral arrangement ideal for sad and melancholic sequences.

Sad Infinity

Dreamy and delicate, featuring soothing woodwinds and a melancholic celeste that create a rarefied and nocturne sense of uneasy fascination. Ideal for alluring and seductive scenes with a dark and possibly supernatural edge.

Blue Star

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.

Typecast Credits

Contemplative guitar and drone track. Acoustic guitar plucking a sparse melody above a subtle sitar-like drone. Simple, thoughtful, meditative and atmospheric, perfect for a slow-moving TV/Doc scene over a beautiful vista.

Wistful Piano (Suite)

Scattered piano melody with electronic effects over a subtle ambient synth drone. Background drone grows in waves of atmospheric noise. The noise grows stronger and harsher, almost swallowing the piano notes. Another string drone swells to finish. Introspective, melancholy and reflective, suiting a moment of pause, reflecting on the past and contemplating the future. Suitable for thoughtful ending in a TV/Doc.

w/ synths: Added other-wordly synth drones and wonky sustained synth lines, giving an off-kilter edge.

w/ strings: Regal orchestral string arrangement on top of piano melody from the start, string lines intersecting in a looping counterpoint.

Sad But Hopeful

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.

Raggy Piano

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.

Oubliette (Suite)

Gentle pensive piano track. Slow repeated piano motif, extra piano line added and subtly building orchestral strings. Thoughtful and reflective, sad yet hopeful, would suit an advert for insurance or healthcare, hope of a bright future in the face of today’s sadness and loss.
