Ghetto Orchestra
Dark, electronic trap with string samples. 90s-influenced string samples, distorted male vocal sample saying ‘ID please’, trap beats and female vocal sample begin. Joined by more fleeting string samples. Underwater section before the string-led section returns. Cool, urban and flashy in a 90s way, good music to strut to, perfect for tense, intriguing TV/Film/Doc scenes.
Requiem for L Lawson
Live instrumental acoustic guitar saga. Raw blues/folk acoustic guitar melody, repetitive melodic motifs. Lyrical mid-section to a more tense, frantic part, alternating between drama and calm moments. End section is like something out of a Western film, tense and sparse, with dramatic slide guitar, to a hopeful finger-picking final section. Sombre, dramatic and epic with moments of light, the nature of the live recording adding interesting imperfections. Different sections would suit various Film/TV/Documentary moments, would suit an American road trip or a nature documentary explore the American Wild West.
Quasar
Epic orchestral soundtrack. Cinematic soaring strings, choppy dynamic violins, triumphant horns and rumbling percussive flourishes. Quieter section features female wordless vocals, chugging percussion and strings before a busier horn and string section to finish. Proud, dignified and victorious, suited to a classic blockbuster action film or and advert for an epic computer game, or a bombastic event.
Electric
Cinematic orchestral track. Rumbling percussion, horn blasts, soaring orchestral strings and disruptive glitches, play out over a futuristic battlefield. Dramatic and threatening but hopeful, would suit a wartime thriller set in a dystopian future or an advert evoking a challenge of epic proportions.
Symbolgen
Epic percussive build. Pounding drum intro, more percussion added, building layers of rhythms and heightening the tension. Full beat established, drops to melodic drum break, before full pounding percussion resumes. Excited, driven and determined, a tribal feel, calling to mind Asian music traditions, to suit epic, ambitious film soundtracks and mounting tension on screen.
Ambient Loop (Suite)
Four short loopable electronic soundscapes. Vast, dreamlike sound plains of sweeping synth sounds, glitches, muted beats and electronic rainbows. Hazy and enveloping, ephemeral sound snapshots to suit documentaries and intriguing television.
Ambient Piano features a piano chord progression and hazy strings and synth – a warm wall of sound reminiscent of Massive Attack’s Teardrop.
Moving Target
Tense, action-packed synth track. Dramatic orchestral strings, pounding drums, foreboding synth chords and frenetic panning beats. Threatening, dark and anxiety-inducing, suitable for a high-tension, high-stakes thrilling action Film/TV sequence, or an advert to that effect.
Not For Nothing (Suite)
Instrumental indie rock ‘n’ roll stomper. Pounding drum intro, electric guitar riffs, a steady mid-tempo groove and an angular lead guitar solo. Brash, loud and in-your-face, suitable for an attention-grabbing advert, a dash across a busy city or a Film/TV sequence requiring rock ‘n’ roll attitude.
1 minute and 30 second ad-length versions available.
Felo de Se (Suite)
Electronic beat-driven track. Tension-building repetitive bell-like synth rings out, dramatic intro before it opens up with trap beats and a synth-vocal humming. Tense at first then more laid back but still with a dark urban undertone, would suit a dramatic episode finale on TV or an advert for streetwear.
‘No Bells’ version is darker and edgier, suitable for a heavier story onscreen or for background music for short docs.
1 min and 30 second ad length versions available.
