Schema
Dark trip hop with orchestral strings. Dark, rippling harp sample then urgent, choppy cello over swirling synth pads. Choppy violins repeat the tense melodic riff over trip hop beats and vinyl scratching and subtle hip hop vocal samples. Cool and self-assured in the face of danger, perfect for a nerve-wracking TV drama, a dramatic documentary or sombre content.
Triplet Storm Part II
Driving arpeggiated synth track. Moody, cool synth waves crash over the soundscape. Vast, epic and driving, would suit an urban, Vice-style documentary or dreamy, clubby, druggy TV scene.
Revenge
Murky hip hop with electric guitar. Plucked fuzzy electric guitar riff, over a heavier, more abrasive riff. Minimal beats to start, building to fast trap beats with deep bass, church organ and vocal samples. Insistent, unyielding and slightly melancholy with a hint of insouciance, would suit dark TV moments or a tense investigative documentary.
Underwater Theme 02
Bassy synth track. Deep bassy synth, bleepy synth lines and dynamic syncopated, dancehall-beats create a deep underwater groove. Insistent, edgy and full of anticipation, like a ticking clock, would suit a short investigative documentary segment, or podcast soundtrack.
Underwater Theme 01
Bloopy synth track with deep underwater bass. Soft, hazy synth lines over repeated bloopy synth melody, reverb effects, and subtle, drum roll-like beats. Downbeat, nostalgic and mysterious, with a hint of danger, would suit an investigative Vice or Vox-style documentary or TV segment. Also perfect for edgy TV scenes.
Ringworld Interlude
Expansive synth track. Broad enveloping synths wash across the soundscape like the beam of a lighthouse. Followed by a James Bond theme-style foghorn blast. Dreamy, mysterious and melancholy, an uncertain sound to suit a thrilling podcast or hard-hitting, factual, anxiety-inducing documentary.
Point of Departure
Sparse synth-heavy track. Fast, bloopy, arpeggiated synths ascending, overlapping, building and falling. Frantic, energetic and hopeful, would suit a youth documentary or edgy content.
Bag
Minimal trap. Cold synth melody over male vocal sample, first high-pitched, then repeated in a low register. Sparse beat drops. Quicker hi-hat beat added with finger-snap style beat. Dark, edgy and cool, perfect for an atmospheric advert for streetwear or a documentary about youth culture or TV drama.
Crossing Euro Instrumental
Bleepy electronica with D’n’B beats. Gentle electronics, joined by heavy D’n’B breaks. Sweet, bleepy section returns before a chunky beat driven section. Austere orchestral strings and bright, childlike synth add melodic layers, with underlying chords switching between major and minor. Determined, driven and nostalgic, perfect for a youth TV drama in an urban setting, or as a dynamic accompaniment to an electronics or automobile advert.
