Tide of Feelings

Emotional pop/rock. Drum build with sparse piano chords. Violin-like drawn-out samples mournfully yearn over the drums and piano. Strings flutter build to expressive vocal samples and more string layers. Enveloping, romantic and thoughtful, would suit a Film/TV scene of great emotional and romantic tension.

Flow of Thoughts

Sweeping string and piano track. Fluttering strings and ticking percussion over single, hopeful piano notes. Anticipation builds, breaks into a vast hopeful section with a full chorus of choppy strings, shifting to calmer sustained strings. Emotional, romantic and full of sweeping positivity and wondrous expectation, perfect for a charity campaign or heartwarming advert.

Gone

Laid back, dreamy R’n’B. Gentle, jazzy synth chords introduce ethereal vocal sample, joined by sparse R’n’B beats. Calm and tranquil with an urban edge, soothing yet atmospheric, perfect for a cool yet chilled advert, thoughtful TV scene or contemporary documentary.

Jump Off

Sultry R’n’B. Muted synths expanding and contracting like a flexing muscle, warped and full of anticipation. Breathy female vocal samples and laid back trap beats complete the track. Murky and dreamlike with an hard, technological edge, would suit a cutting edge advert or a sombre TV scene.

Mantis

Folk fusion instrumental on Cretan lyra and fiddle. A cirucular melody on Cretan lyra is doubled on fiddle and joined by subtle percussive hand claps, sounding at once like Austrian mountain folk without the yodelling and like a weaving Middle Eastern melody. Thoughtful and open yet formulaic in its structure, wandering music for an epic nature walk, perfect for a travel or nature documentary.

Noise Water Beats

Experimental Lo-Fi Hip Hop track. Ambient sounds with a degrading, crackling quality, kitchen pottering, water whooshing, industrial machine-like noises, joined by resonant piano chords and crunchy beats. 90s, Hip Hop beats drive the track, with looped piano chords and background noise a constant. Mysterious, experimental, chilled and darkly playful, like exploring the Looney Tunes Haunted House, off-kilter beats and samples to suit a Vice news style documentary or contemporary urban filmmaking.

Oud Taksim

Improvisatory oud track. Meandering oud solo, measured and spacious, with pauses full of resonance and contemplation. Expressive, contemplative and meditative, perfect music to accompany a middle Eastern landscape on screen, vast, beautiful and unpredictable.

Tropics

Polished clubby electronica. Fat synths interspersed with dynamic, glossy, banging beats. Melancholy synth chords and vocal samples add an introspective edge. Dark, determined and driven, 90s-style sample-heavy electronica, perfect for a sombre documentary or thoughtful, difficult and decisive TV scene.

Glasshouse Studies III

Slow, emotive piano track with violin and clarinet. Sparse, atmospheric piano, chords resonating, single piano notes ringing out above. Passionate violin enters with long, languid notes full of yearning. Clarinet takes over on melody, before both intertwine for the final section. Heartfelt, gentle and melancholy, perfect tender soundtrack to a moving Film/TV scene.

The Militant Upcycle

Bloopy, psychedelic electronic track. Gentle, reverb-laden synth patterns, repeated, morphing into a noisier sound, growing more intense. A wash of fuzzy, atmospheric noise drowns out the synth melodies. Hints of My Bloody Valentine, Stereolab, Broadcast and Air, sepia-tinted electronics mingle with harsh noise in a satisfying contrast. Warm, gentle, searching and plodding to begin with, more intense, powerful and expansive as the track progresses. Perfect atmospheric film or documentary music, retro-futuristic and edgy, reminiscent of the Lost in Translation soundtrack.
