Dark and emotional, vivid orchestral strings and introspective electronic drums establish a steady progression where the psychological stakes are high. A violin breaks the tension with a positive opening at 1:00. Piano inserts help to resume in intensity and move to a somewhat grand finale, with harp, flute and violin. Will suite sad and melancholic yet decision-driven sequences, where an action must be taken soon to solve the situation.
With troubled chords and unsettling textures, a full orchestra is summoned to establish a mysterious and hypnotic sense of longing. First violins deliver the main theme at 0:38, leading to an emotional opening in the middle section. Heavy percussions add layers of dramatic intensity for a compelling final crescendo. Suitable for dramas, introspective yet disturbing scenes a la Roque Banos’ The Machinist soundtrack.
Unexpected and relentless, with ostinato strings patterns and temperamental tempo changes that create a moody and fast paced sixties-like classical orchestration. Ideal for retro thrillers along the lines of Psycho and Vertigo.
Quirky instrumental. Dramatic opening, sustained keys and brass, sounds like the electronic rainbow blasts of Animal Collective. Gives way to a meandering jazz saxophone joined by a brass blast then an unexpected quirky percussive section with piano and a big build, all instruments in, like the finale of a stadium rock concert. Sparse breathy saxophone section before another epic blast of noise. Solo sax then all instruments in, strings, drums, percussion, vocals and brass with drum crashes and wallops before a peaceful end. Bombastic and epic with slow, thoughtful sections, a fun mix of styles and moods, would suit a silly Film/TV scene humorous advert for a bonkers product.
Moody, strong and beautiful, acoustic and electric guitar with strong echoing industrial rhythms and warm, glass-like sounds. Female “oo’s” wash in and out. Reminiscent of Bjork.
Toy pianos, xylophones and harmoniums evoke a mischievous dancing simian. Atonal elements make this a vaguely sinister piece. Something is going wrong in the toy world.
Dark atmospheric piano elements with tambourine and other percussion. Grooving and dissonant, building with tense octave notes. Sounds like: Tom Waits’ soundtrack to Down By Law.
Fractured and bouncy electro pop. Begins with slow harpsichord then changes abruptly to glitchy topsy-turvy rhythms. Fun, bit-crushed and slightly trippy, imagine that bit in The Beach where Leonardo DiCaprio becomes a computer game.
Triplet-feel dramatic orchestral refrain, with soft voices and repeating phrases. This is hilarious and highly dramatic at the same time. Perfect for an episode of Bagpuss, if Bagpuss was trying to fly a biplane to the moon. Includes real violins, voices, kazoo, accordion, wooden percussion and a whole lot of interesting phrasing.
A suite of tracks all reminiscent of a weird but funny circus.
