Careless (Suite)

Electronic track. Beat intro with mellow synth. Added beats, rhythmic bassy synth, harsh, glassy synth effects and straight up drums. Upbeat but slightly melancholy with a hint of tension. Suitable for moody TV drama sequences or for a cool, clean, modern advert.

Careless 2 is longer, more like a electronic dance track, with added finger snaps and effects and punchier beats.

The Water Rush

A chirpy synth catchy bass line is joined by balmy evolving synth and chiming bells in a build towards a rush of euphoria in the chorus. A feeling of being a robot in the ocean and suddenly a huge school of tropical fish rush through you. Happy, lush, futuristic and expansive.

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.

Wistful Piano (Suite)

Scattered piano melody with electronic effects over a subtle ambient synth drone. Background drone grows in waves of atmospheric noise. The noise grows stronger and harsher, almost swallowing the piano notes. Another string drone swells to finish. Introspective, melancholy and reflective, suiting a moment of pause, reflecting on the past and contemplating the future. Suitable for thoughtful ending in a TV/Doc.

w/ synths: Added other-wordly synth drones and wonky sustained synth lines, giving an off-kilter edge.

w/ strings: Regal orchestral string arrangement on top of piano melody from the start, string lines intersecting in a looping counterpoint.

Fast Life

Electronic track with samples and dark bassy beats. Fades in with electronic repeated riff and synth electric guitar sounds. Sustained synths and trap beats underpin the broad synth sound. High pitched sustained synth introduced. Fades in and out sporadically. Punchy, brash, moving with a strut, laid back but in your face, would suit an urban advert or background music for a youth culture documentary.

Fairground for a Mucus Dress

Music for a synthesised, circus party. Rhythmic, upbeat orchestral. Chaotic and crazy.

My Garden

Lush warm fantasy with pizzicato and orchestral synth strings, female choral vocals and distant electric guitar. Ever so slightly kitsch.

Eternity

Somber orchestral synths with chatter in the background at first, but then just orchestral synth and tinkling fx. Becomes grand and sensual, includes what sounds like throat singing in the background. Sci-Fi, fantasy, “Lara Croft discovers a new wondrous cavern” probably sums it up.

Wicked Tuna

Rousing war horns intro, industrial beats and bass line develop into searing synth arpeggios, with ghostly vocals rising to a dark crescendo.
