Gritty bass synth riffs and driving beats, with elements of electricity. Robots, sci fi experiments for kids. Fun, but serious fun. A bit like the music the children of Trent Reznor would make.

Bond on the Moon
Epic bondy stuff, with a slice of implicit darkness. A spy-themed track that takes the listener from a mysterious electronic intro to a fully orchestral instalment. It rests at 1:30 and then resumes to deliver a grand finale. Be warned, James Bond’s got a dark side.

Animal Ride
Mysterious and magical, a stylish musical journey that makes use of a full orchestra and percussion. Somewhat dark and whimsical, with quirky strings and woodwinds, it will bond fantastically with your Disney-like playful, quirky and amusing characters.

The Late Heavy Bombardment
Epic, slow-cooked emotional track with instances of orchestral strings and brass interjections, caged in a reassuring and straight drum beat. Poignant by design, it breaks at 1:55 and then resumes with balzato strings to create an intense and dramatic coda. An insteresting combo of Danny Elfman and Rondò Veneziano, this will beautifully suit film/game trailers, commercials, and tv shows.

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.

Sad But Hopeful
Emotional piano-led track. Sparse piano intro, joined by melancholy orchestral strings. String swell, subtle drums and a rhythmic piano motif, growing in confidence and strength. Slowly building, dialogue between strings and piano. Effects-laden piano gives a cold electronic edge. Reflective, yearning and questioning, would suit a TV/Doc sequence of high emotional intensity or a pensive moment on film.

Cluedo
Unexpected and relentless, with ostinato strings patterns and temperamental tempo changes that create a moody and fast paced sixties-like classical orchestration. Ideal for retro thrillers along the lines of Psycho and Vertigo.

GOSH – Struggle & Hope (suite)
Simple acoustic guitar picking is joined by bells and pulsing strings, developing into a charged track with feelings of darkness, struggle and glints of hope. Different sections bring in instruments like harp and xylophone for a short period of light relief, then the track races to its end with dramatic string crescendo.

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.

Medley: The Drink, The Sound, The Sea Elephas
Acoustic guitar medley of styles. Bright acoustic guitar, bobbing along with growing intensity and heavier chords. After 3 mins, new section, more improvisatory with hints of tension, ending on waves of strummed guitar. Hopeful, nostalgic and sincere, sounding like the movement of water, still then stormy, would suit a journey, personal or physical, in Documentary or Film/TV.
