Wistful Piano (Suite)

Posted on by
Reply

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.

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

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

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.

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

Quirky 80s synth track with 8 bit video game vibes and bouncy beats. Fast, fun and fizzling with energy, suitable for a playful, upbeat advert or kids TV interlude.

Synth organ track. Dreamy, retro chords and motorik bass with rhythmic acoustic guitar and plonky glockenspiel melodies. Happy, uplifting and carefree, gradual crescendo with orchestral strings and upbeat drums. Sound like Au Revoir Simone, perfect for fun, family adverts or indie TV films/dramas.
