Unsettling and dissonant, with an interesting low-fi accent and a set of disquieting piano chords that establish a loaded texture full of pollution and grittiness. Will suit quirky characters slowly drifting into madness, post-apocalyptic settings, dark underwater animations.

Macedonian Phalanx
Featuring a marked epic accent and a schizophrenic middle-age influence, with orchestral percussive elements, choirs and a synthetic brass section that create a quirky and fantasy-like setting. Great for over the top ancient battles and medieval sieges.
Hell Flames
Disturbed and suspenseful, with piano solo as lead instrument and a symphonic orchestra that deliver unsettling flashes of dark energy. It follows an A-B-A structure, with a huge spike – both in sound and emotional impact – in the middle section. Great for horrors, thrillers and supernatural themes.
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.
KMH Part 1
Minimal piano track. Polyrhythmic piano lines interweave creating a continuous, flowing waterfall effect. Sweet yet dissonant, atmospheric and turbulent. A dreamlike cacophony in the mid-section, before an expressive, virtuosic, yet disturbed, finish. Suited to an unsettling Film/TV scene, a psychological horror reflecting the characters tumultuous experiences.
Voices of the Night
Unsettling electronic track. Random beats and electronic sound effects build a rhythmic base, unusual sound sources used to create percussive, sensory music. Bird sounds and male vocal samples introduced, like a call to prayer over glitchy beats. Strange, unexpected and off-kilter, experimental electronics to suit a curious, Vice-style documentary or quirky advert.
Dream Sequence Soft 2
Atmospheric electronics. Whooshing sounds, swooping waves of ambient noise, doppler effect panning. Spooky, threatening and dark, like creatures flitting about under the cover of darkness, suitable as unsettling background music for TV/Film/Doc scenes about strange, otherworldly subjects.
To Quetta
Frenetic, rhythmic percussion over tense, sparse piano chords and Middle Eastern-style melancholy strings and scatterings of oud. Strange, unsettling and sad, suitable for a tense, searching documentary, or disorientating TV/Film scene.
Tidal Eye
Atmospheric percussive track with strings. Erratic background noise, clanging, bashing, becomes rhythmic. Sustained string swells add further suspense before a wailing orchestral blast with a pulsating background beat. Strange, tense and unsettling, would suit a dramatic, frightening Film/TV/Doc.
Kidnap In Karachi Part 2
Mournful string track. Atmospheric noise, sad strings and heavy piano play a desolate melody. Unsettling, resonant background noise brings a threatening new dimension. Supernatural, doom-laden and bleak, funereal music for negative adverts or hopeless TV/Film scenes.
