Dark trip hop with orchestral strings. Dark, rippling harp sample then urgent, choppy cello over swirling synth pads. Choppy violins repeat the tense melodic riff over trip hop beats and vinyl scratching and subtle hip hop vocal samples. Cool and self-assured in the face of danger, perfect for a nerve-wracking TV drama, a dramatic documentary or sombre content.
Bassy synth track. Deep bassy synth, bleepy synth lines and dynamic syncopated, dancehall-beats create a deep underwater groove. Insistent, edgy and full of anticipation, like a ticking clock, would suit a short investigative documentary segment, or podcast soundtrack.
Sparse synth-heavy track. Fast, bloopy, arpeggiated synths ascending, overlapping, building and falling. Frantic, energetic and hopeful, would suit a youth documentary or edgy content.
Melancholy, cinematic solo piano. Quick, soft piano phrases. An emotional melody enters above the undulating broken piano chords. Then a slow section of despondent block chords. Nostalgic, romantic and sad, slightly French, Amélie-style onscreen heartbreak or inner emotional turmoil.
Acoustic version available.
