The sound of a half-forgotten carnival, for harmoniums, toy piano and strings. Slow, steady, expressive and sad. Dramatic and slightly unwell.

Making Jack a Dull Boy
Dark atmospheric piano elements with tambourine and other percussion. Grooving and dissonant, building with tense octave notes. Sounds like: Tom Waits’ soundtrack to Down By Law.

Like a Mantelpiece the Sea
Back room farmyard instrumental, acoustic instruments with a tender yet mischievous melody. Folky but genre-defying. An extension of the soundtrack to Withnail & I.

Ladybirds
Delicate harmonies on strings, with later gentle percussion and theremin-like synthesiser.

Illusions
Delicate, soft harmonies from vintage synthesisers and glockenspiels. Dreamy atmosphere, inspiration from a melody by Edvard Grieg. Mysterious fantasy, sounds like something from Zelda.

Dog Sled
Melodicas, Mandolin, strings, whistling and – get this – dog-like Inuit singing combine to create a rhythmic, snowy landscape atmosphere. Melancholy, otherworldly and humorous.

A Little Bit of Dreammusik
Miniature for harpsichord, after melodies by Mozart.

A Favourite Place of Mine
Metal xylophones, evocative of memories and times gone by, with (later) hip-hop-esque percussion patterns.

Vagabond_Instrumental
Sparse synth pad beginning gradually becomes gently rousing with heartbeat-like kick drums, choirs and synth.

Sorgenfri Station (Instrumental)
EDM with electric guitar, synths and organic synth fx. Stomping, head nodding, modern and upbeat whilst retaining a cool sensibility. Well balanced and tasteful.
