Catchy and playful, with saturated beats and a mildly aggressive synth that take the listener into a pop dimension but with grittiness and a lot of colour. A bit like Gary Numan ‘Cars’ mixed with a minimal hipster.

Pathways
Hypnotic with a dissonant edge, featuring an upright piano, acoustic guitar-led arpeggios and a strings section. There is an interesting combination of a delicate and playful mood with disturbing inserts of harmonic madness, mainly given by the piano. Great fit for scenes where your audience needs to know that something in our character is starting to drift.
Death Is a She Named Barsheen
Groovy and suspenseful, with alluring mystical vocals and a dark progressive synth-led rhythmical pattern that evoke exotic worlds caged in a first period Massive Attack-like tune. Structured in three parts, it builds up to 1:30 and then delivers a minute of aggressiveness led by a gritty electric guitar. Wonderful as background and title sequences for futuristic, dystopian and ancient/exotic settings.
The Carousel of Memories
Hypnotic and delicate, featuring a sinister melody played by an accordion and spooky sounds melted with a glockenspiel toward the last section. Ideal for teen thrillers, scary and disturbing scenes, psychological and mysterious sequences.
Secluded Blue
Suspenseful and hypnotic, featuring synth loops and acid arpeggios that bring a sense of dark and unsettling emotional content to the listener. Complemented by a slightly retro and mildly epic progression in the last part.
Into the Cage
Unsettling and dissonant, with an interesting low-fi accent and a set of disquieting piano chords that establish a loaded texture full of pollution and grittiness. Will suit quirky characters slowly drifting into madness, post-apocalyptic settings, dark underwater animations.
Dreamspace, Shared (Suite)
Evocative and hypnotic, featuring mildly dissonant textures beautifully orchestrated for strings. Enigmatic and reflective, charged and dynamic delivering an evolving range of emotions and classical string textures.
Up and Down
Playful and quirky, featuring hopping strings nested in a modern orchestral setting that create lively dissonant ostinatos and spirited recurring themes.
Flute and Piano (suite)
Delicate yet unsettling, with a dissonant flute and a jaunty piano that deliver a strangely playful but darkish tone in the same vein as a contemporary classical music piece.
Paranormal Haunting
Sapient combination of distorted synth brushes, hypnotic guitars and pulsating bass, all caged in a structured slightly off drums beat. Unsettling and unnerving but definitely powerful in its unraveling, it evokes spirited ghosts, paranormal activity, otherworldly and mystical images. Great for dark and suspenseful trailer music and ad campaigns.
