Ethereal and delicate, a relaxing episode of synths and organs that is both looking at the inner and outer side of your character. Blissful and gently flowing up in a sky made of pink streams of consciousness, will suit utopian sci-fi and fantasy settings.

Stories and Stones
Catchy and uplifting, with a folk acoustic guitar and a warm male choirs that create an interesting and compelling episode of indie acoustic folk. The second part develops into a fully arranged piece with increased complexity. Several applications, from emotional and in your face commercials to soundtracks for dramas and bittersweet comedies
Goodnight
Peaceful and bright, with a confident yet tender acoustic guitar and delicate piano inserts that build a relaxing and mellow episode of music. It gains strength and develops harmonically in the last 30 seconds. A bass guitar helps to deliver an effective coda that will suit the end of a cinematic sequence or advertising pieces.
Sunrise in an Alien Zoo
Mysterious, epic and progressive, a slow chordal progression with bassey undertones to an electronic pulse, to 3:44 where more distinct melodic elements appear. A quiet breakdown at around 6:00, before a definitive lead electronic riff appears at 6:30 to build in complexity to a relaxed electronic climax. Basically you probably would listen to this if you took some psychedelics, or at least listening to this will make you feel like you are on some sort of psychedelics. Imagine the soundtrack to a robotic world fizzing with colour and happiness, with no humans. Ahhh what a lovely thought.
If You Were Mine
Jazz piano solo. Relaxed jazz chords, sparse and measured. A tense repeated phrase leads to a pensive, sombre melody with hints of hope from high piano notes. A meandering improv-like melody deviates from the original chords progression before a quiet, content ending. Thoughtful, intense and reflective, a moody piano number perfect for a the heightened tension of a romantic love scene. Two star-crossed lovers on separate paths through rain soaked streets. One in Paris, the city of lights, the other in Woody Allen’s New York…will their paths ever meet again?
Kin
Calm and contemplative, with hypnotic pianos and smooth electronic loops that make clever use of sound design techniques to bring a futuristic flavour to the table. Will suit emotionally charged scenes seasoned with synthetic fragmentations.
Haunt
Experimental and spooky, with processed layers of electronics and chunks of instrumental loops that evoke an unsettling but overall soothing feeling. It touches that sweet spot of music and sound design. Out in the ocean, dolphins on a trippy underwater journey.
Death Is a She Named Barsheen
Groovy and suspenseful, with alluring mystical vocals and a dark progressive synth-led rhythmical pattern that evoke exotic worlds caged in a first period Massive Attack-like tune. Structured in three parts, it builds up to 1:30 and then delivers a minute of aggressiveness led by a gritty electric guitar. Wonderful as background and title sequences for futuristic, dystopian and ancient/exotic settings.
Reminiscences
With troubled chords and unsettling textures, a full orchestra is summoned to establish a mysterious and hypnotic sense of longing. First violins deliver the main theme at 0:38, leading to an emotional opening in the middle section. Heavy percussions add layers of dramatic intensity for a compelling final crescendo. Suitable for dramas, introspective yet disturbing scenes a la Roque Banos’ The Machinist soundtrack.
Hill
Dreamy and ethereal music with a heavenly and transcendent new age feel. Evocative and hypnotic, it evolves toward a positive resolution (3:20), while keeping its instrumentation consistent. Brain Eno meets Blade Runner, this is ideal for nature, science, space documentaries and whatnot.
