Frenetic, rhythmic percussion over tense, sparse piano chords and Middle Eastern-style melancholy strings and scatterings of oud. Strange, unsettling and sad, suitable for a tense, searching documentary, or disorientating TV/Film scene.

Tidal Eye
Atmospheric percussive track with strings. Erratic background noise, clanging, bashing, becomes rhythmic. Sustained string swells add further suspense before a wailing orchestral blast with a pulsating background beat. Strange, tense and unsettling, would suit a dramatic, frightening Film/TV/Doc.
The Day Before Quetta
Sparse, sombre piano track with scratchy violin and atmospheric oud. Solemn, tense and desolate, an empty landscape, deserted streets, suitable for sad, suspenseful TV/Film dramas, possibly set in the Middle East.
Kidnap In Karachi Part 2
Mournful string track. Atmospheric noise, sad strings and heavy piano play a desolate melody. Unsettling, resonant background noise brings a threatening new dimension. Supernatural, doom-laden and bleak, funereal music for negative adverts or hopeless TV/Film scenes.
Kidnap In Karachi Part 1
Atmospheric build. Sparse piano intro with string murmurings. Sustained strings become a drone before a drop out. Piano break before tense percussion, shakers and expressive violin join for an intriguing, suspenseful and nerve-wracking build, steady and mid-tempo throughout. Mysterious, strange and beguiling with a hint of the East, suitable for tense movie moments or atmospheric, threatening documentary background music.
Jalsa
Sitar-like drones introduce expectant beats and excited tambourine. Middle Eastern-style earthy strings play snatches of melody with acoustic guitar. Tense, suspenseful and mysterious, would suit a TV drama/Film set in a hot Middle Eastern country or a playful advert for foods from this region.
The Last Time
Electronic beats with heavy delay, echoing, harsh and glassy. Bleepy synth seeps into the soundscape. Orchestral strings provide a sombre humanity. Beats intensify to a sparse finish. Suspense, tension and a sense of foreboding.
Secret Sampler
Whispered female vocal intro chopped up into a rhythmic vocal loop, resolves into an ethereal Spanish guitar and vocal melodic segment. Mysterious, sensual and supernatural, sounding like a Spanish Bjork or Charlotte Gainsbourg, would suit a strange, psychedelic TV/Film sequence.
Sad Beach Transition
Orchestral string track with echo effects and solo violin. Dreamy echoing synth strings create a light, heavenly atmosphere. Solo violin soars above. Delicate, warm and airy, a soothing track perfect for adverts for baby products or for a sweet film moment.
Mercury Piano
Solo piano track. Quiet, chordal beginning develops into an elaborate repetitive motif into a more percussive section with polyphonic rhythms. Tentative then dramatic, this piece would suit an advert for a life-saving service or a tense Film/TV soundtrack.
