Other-worldly electronics. Bleeps, feedback, buzzing, noise, vinyl scratching under the needle, sound effects and atmospheric drones all intermingle to create an ambient electronic patchwork. The soundscape brightens with more melodic drones and reflective synth lines introduced. Thoughtful, introspective, yet vast and expansive, a world turning inside and out. Suitable for an intense, mind-expanding documentary, or for suspenseful or darkly dramatic TV moments.

Cute EDM. Nintendo-style intro of magic synthesiser, joined by female vocal sample and laid back yet edgy beats. Shakers and a bright synth build take over, followed by a sweet, melodic synth part and the laid back beats. Repeats. Sparse beat break with wooping vocal samples to finish. Fun, chilled and positive, a happy trip to Koopa Island, relaxed EDM for a fashion advert or Vice-style documentary soundtrack.

Bleepy electronics. Vocal sample like wind and synths like water evoke the natural world in an electronic soundscape. Peaceful, ethereal, calm and gentle, but still a little unnerving…suitable for an onscreen hallucination or dreamlike montage.
