This is a Chair
Relaxed solo blues guitar track. Chilled acoustic guitar melody, calm and restrained with melodies emerging from the free rhythmic style. Dramatic build in speed and emotion before a strong, cheerful refrain, followed by a sparse, bittersweet outro.
The Glass House
Acoustic guitar track. Slow, thoughtful guitar melody over repeated, plodding guitar countermelody. Slide-heavy mid-section, more expressive and animated. Gentle, calm and reflective folk music, perfect for pastoral Americana onscreen and nostalgic TV/Film/Doc scenes.
Deadline Eclipse
Tense minimal piano is joined by solo acoustic guitar over a background of Steve Reich-like pulses, building to a positive section of wonder and serenity. After a held section the piece moves to a foreboding ending. Perfect for film.
Ed Mark
Sparse, western acoustic guitar track. Desolate Americana with touches of harsh slide guitar, like something out of a tense, Ry Cooder-scored Western. Atmospheric, strange and nostalgic, would suit a cowboy parody or Western-style advert or TV scene/documentary.
Tower 42
Emotional, cinematic orchestral string track. Swells of romantic strings, slow and sparse, create an ambient, melancholy soundscape. Sad, desolate and full of longing, perfect for a reflective TV/Film scene during heartbreak or grief.
Tobinesque
Subtle, ambient intro of sparse percussion and synth melody, foreboding and dark, building to a harder sound with pizzicato orchestral strings and 90s trip hop beats. Slightly glamourous, exotic and classy, like a modern James Bond film, perfect for an action/thriller or exciting, potentially dangerous TV scene.
Uncut (Suite)
Slow, foreboding piano track with orchestral strings, percussion and electronic beats. Tense, dark and foreboding, like a wintry evening, driving in the countryside.

Emotional solo piano track. Sombre, reflective piano melody over shifting broken piano chords, opening to a more expressive, improvisatory section over the same undulating chords. Romantic, reckless and thoughtful, to suit a heartbreaking onscreen decision.
Voices of the Night
Unsettling electronic track. Random beats and electronic sound effects build a rhythmic base, unusual sound sources used to create percussive, sensory music. Bird sounds and male vocal samples introduced, like a call to prayer over glitchy beats. Strange, unexpected and off-kilter, experimental electronics to suit a curious, Vice-style documentary or quirky advert.
