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.
Instant 1
Synth pop track. Frantic bleepy synth intro, snare drums shuffle. Keyboards play sparse riff, over alternating marimba-like synth notes. Another layer of piano creates overlapping rhythms, Drums break with single piano notes, drums become more complex. Spanish acoustic guitar plays solo over drums, frenetic, choppy orchestral strings take their turn before the finish. Sombre and mysterious, sophisticated pop for flashy corporate videos, ad campaigns or background music for intriguing documentaries.
Melancholia
Ethereal and alluring, with dissonant injections of strings and a seductive intro that steadily grows both in intensity and instrumentation. Several counterpoints and variations caged in a medium-big orchestral arrangement ideal for sad and melancholic sequences.
Sad Infinity
Dreamy and delicate, featuring soothing woodwinds and a melancholic celeste that create a rarefied and nocturne sense of uneasy fascination. Ideal for alluring and seductive scenes with a dark and possibly supernatural edge.
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.
Bates Motel
Intense and dramatic, with intertwined strings fraseggi and rhythmical cello structures that give a dissonant sense of broken romance. Fingers pointed to early sixties Bernard Hermann scores, such as the ones for Hitchcock movies, albeit in a more darkish way.
Macedonian Phalanx
Featuring a marked epic accent and a schizophrenic middle-age influence, with orchestral percussive elements, choirs and a synthetic brass section that create a quirky and fantasy-like setting. Great for over the top ancient battles and medieval sieges.
Angry Mountain
Tensive, haunting, and hypnotic, with an epic aftertaste embodied in a late 18th century orchestration that delivers a slice of retro mood and action oriented setting. A darkish instalment of Hollywood-like classical scores perfect for period and modern drama productions.
