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.

Intricate Workings

Dreamy with a groovy edge, a potpourri of computer blips, outer space laments, and Brain Eno-alike synth drones all complemented by a mellow dance rhythm. Built as ABA structure, it’s got a quirky and slightly unsettling mood, something like a slow cooked psychedelic trip on the dance floor.

Ambient

Airy and dreamy, with a beating heart impression and a cheap electric guitar that deliver a straight and simple theme while lying on a bed of synth drones. An honest ambient tune with a sense of achievement and emotion, will suit evocative and truthful scenes that do not have to be grand at all costs.

I, Me

Dreamy and deranged, with an evocative exotic flavour and a bouncy percussive-led rhythm that bring you in a sort of Bollywood b-movie dungeon. Weird and hypnotic, will suit commercials and sequences with an ironic edge.

Kill the robots

Repetitive and flowing, it starts tense with a rhythmical bass synth. Soon a detuned piano enters the scene to counter balance the darkness with some emotional lighter ideas. The bass follows it as a drum section slowly creeps in and helps in gaining strength to the tune. There is sense of longing and broken romance, but defiance and challenge are definitely ahead. Somewhat in between hi-tech and retro.

Sunrise in an Alien Zoo

Mysterious, epic and progressive, a slow chordal progression with bassey undertones to an electronic pulse, to 3:44 where more distinct melodic elements appear. A quiet breakdown at around 6:00, before a definitive lead electronic riff appears at 6:30 to build in complexity to a relaxed electronic climax. Basically you probably would listen to this if you took some psychedelics, or at least listening to this will make you feel like you are on some sort of psychedelics. Imagine the soundtrack to a robotic world fizzing with colour and happiness, with no humans. Ahhh what a lovely thought.

If You Were Mine

Jazz piano solo. Relaxed jazz chords, sparse and measured. A tense repeated phrase leads to a pensive, sombre melody with hints of hope from high piano notes. A meandering improv-like melody deviates from the original chords progression before a quiet, content ending. Thoughtful, intense and reflective, a moody piano number perfect for a the heightened tension of a romantic love scene. Two star-crossed lovers on separate paths through rain soaked streets. One in Paris, the city of lights, the other in Woody Allen’s New York…will their paths ever meet again?

In the Dead of the Night

Pensive and somber, with an overarching negative mood given by bassy orchestral drones and subtle electronics. The middle section features a poignant counterpoint between a cello and an oboe. A sparse and saturnine sense of the inevitable leaning to Hollywood style romance stories.

Attack!

Powerful and majestic, with a delicate intro made of dreamy bells that lead to energetic flashes of orchestral spikes. Solemn and dark, it gradually grows in intensity and delivers a great background for supernatural thrillers and fantasy-like settings.
