A Poor Crisis

Romantic piano and string track. Lush orchestral strings, a slow-paced piano melody, descending. The strings swell and overwhelm the piano. Becomes more dramatic and hopeful, literally ending on a high note. Melodramatic, wistful and nostalgic, like Bach’s ‘Air on the G String’ crossed with a less eerie Twin Peaks theme tune, would suit a heartfelt TV/Film moment or advert playing on saccharine retro melodrama.

Late Night Rendezvous

Sultry late night jazz. Skulking double bass, romantic celeste melody, lazy, loping jazz drums. Smooth saxophone solos over the laid back foundation. Moody, seductive, late night jazz, would suit a slow-paced advert or retro, nostalgic TV/Film scene where our characters’ eyes meet across a half-empty bar…a lovesick detective and a sassy divorcee…both tired and jaded…but have they given up on love?

Bed track features Drums and Double Bass Only.

Season Creep

Atmospheric string and piano build. Ephemeral strings, echoing beat intro, gentle piano notes, strings drone building anticipation. Piano chords then opens up with sustained strings, drums, guitar and tambourine. A quiet section, the best remains then drops out, just piano and light strings to finish. Determined, ambitious, striving and positive, would suit an advert for a powerful, reliable car, or a success against the odds on TV/Film.

No Drums version available.

1 min and 30 sec ad length versions available.

Captain Marzipan

Balkan-style instrumental. Sustained string note builds anticipation, piano motif and drums enters underneath, excitement builds. Strings become louder and earthier in tone. Balkan-style melody enters on choppy violins with double bass drums and piano accompaniment. Grows with frenetic energy, soaring, squeaking violins, melodies intersecting. Dramatic change of tone: complete slow down with drunk double bass and woozy violin swaying drowsily between notes. Shrill piano joins adding jazzy flourishes, all build back to previous upbeat, ramshackle melody. Dramatic, surprising, reckless and intriguing, suitable for a rollicking TV advert or Film/TV/Doc scene, or a strange party scene, where our character is disorientated and disconcerted by the madness happening all around, dropped unexpectedly into a quirky unknown world.

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.

Tell Me Now Darlin’

Country violin instrumental with piano. Violin, oom-pah bass and drums and tinkling piano to start. Slide guitar introduced for a solo. Wistful violin returns. Sentimental, warm and wholly nostalgic, harking back to a bygone time, would suit an advert that’s keepin’ it country, or a TV/Film moment of cheesy reverie.

The Art of Being Sneaky

Pink Panther-esque jazz instrumental. Double Bass jazz motif tip-toes across the track, joined by clipped hand drums, Rhodes piano keyboard sound and sound effects. Mysterious, playful and suspenseful, perfect for an onscreen intrigue or a pastiche of retro whodunnits.

13 sec version available.

Antiphon No.4 (Parts 1, 2 and 3)

Cinematic piano and orchestral string track. Serene orchestral strings and undulating piano create a dense, dramatic soundscape full of passionate yearning. Hopeful, romantic and expressive, perfect for a tense, sensual and tumultuous onscreen romance, think A Room With A View, set in a lush and dreamlike environment.

It Was Revealed (Parts 1 and 2)

Expressive orchestral string track. Gentle, lyrical orchestral strings soar in counterpoint over an unsettlingly tumultuous piano part. Dramatic, cinematic and slightly cacophonous with a European sensibility, would suit a passionate TV Drama or period film scene.

Part 2 features a fuller orchestral string sound and heavy use of vibrato, with piano taking a back seat.
