Blossom

Delicate, bubbling electronic/acoustic track. Marimba, acoustic guitar, flutes, piano and synth flit across the surface or bubble up from below. Melodic synth break halfway through before a dreamy flute section. Eclectic, atmospheric and mysterious. A versatile track, sounds like Air doing the American Beauty soundtrack or like Lost In Translation crossed with a American detective series.

Ambling

Relaxed reggae/jazz track. Mellow, plodding bass with a slow guitar skank to start. Laid back brass enters, piano solos around the same riff, followed by a strange meandering reverb-heavy sax solo. All then riff together to an unexpected electronic ending. Warm, relaxed, jazzy yet sparse, subtle reggae to suit a blissed-out advert or Film/TV scenes of lazing on a Caribbean island, or chilling in a hot and hazy inner city block party.

Shells

A warm, rich repetitive piano instrumental with subtle electronics. Repetitive piano shifts slowly between major chords. Glitchy electronics and reverb add an other-wordly quality. A higher register is introduced with extra layers of piano, the gentle undulations feeling like ripples on water. Subtle, meditative, calm and moving, this immersive track envelops the listener in a wave of rich sound, motivating and calming in equal measure. Suitable for contemplative or decisive moments on film, or for adverts encouraging self-improvement.

The Issue Goes Deeper (Suite)

Lurching synth doppler effect creates an atmosphere of uneasy tension. One note rings out, klaxon-like, joined by threatening synth sounds panning across a bleak sonic plain. Hi-hat underpins the score with added suspense. Dark, desolate and unnerving, with a heavy, mysterious atmosphere that suggests an enemy at your shoulder. Perfect for a prison break, an abduction or an escape.

Light version has a longer, more exposed synth note. Simple version only features the doppler effect synth sounds, no central sustained note.

The glass lake

Somber and ethereal, with a piercing violin, a mellow vibraphone, and a classical piano that dialogue in a very physical and earthy performance in the vein of mid 1800s classical sonatas. Structured in 4 parts, the violin acts as a connector between all the sections and bridges firstly the vibraphone and then the piano, before returning solo for the coda. High quality execution that will fit dramas with a sense of sadness and longing with a seethed edge.

Pensive Wait

Light and repetitive, with a slight Asian flavour given by the instrumentation and a mysterious ostinato played by a filtered glockenspiel. It has a synthetic edge that takes away any human element from the performance, making it robotic and repetitive, almost hypnotic. Yet, it does not evoke a particular sense of danger or deceit.

Moment of Clarity

Evocative and dreamy, an ambient episode of music with nice and largely white atmospheres. Features high pitched female choirs, quirky randomised percussive elements, and a series of everlasting drones. Somewhere in between ancient and futuristic, it’s an acid vision for your protagonist, albeit strangely calm and with the foreboding feeling that everything, in the end, will be fine.

Sky High

Atmospheric and contemplative, with a 16 bit feeling that reminds of video games from the eighties/early nineties. A hypnotic arpeggiated synth and digital flutes and bells create a sense of lightness and airiness. Zelda and Mario can finally meet up and glide azure skies with cotton candy clouds.

Dawn

Serene and heartwarming, with a playful small orchestra that delightfully instils a sense of discovery and earthy feelings. Will suit nature documentaries and animations. Tender and relaxing mood with springtime, flowers, and butterflies in mind.

Kin

Calm and contemplative, with hypnotic pianos and smooth electronic loops that make clever use of sound design techniques to bring a futuristic flavour to the table. Will suit emotionally charged scenes seasoned with synthetic fragmentations.
