Simple wistful piano piece with subtle orchestral strings, nodding to “Somewhere Out There” in Disney’s “An American Tail”, but usable in many poignant moments. I can imagine this in a campaign video asking people to help donate to a charity, or a sad but hopeful scene in a wholesome family series.

Goodbye
Wistful but hopeful, a classically orchestrated episode of musical tenderness and gentleness with a poignant piano theme complemented by soothing orchestral strings. It resonates with emotional and melancholic characters, and will suit period and modern drama productions.
Wistful Piano (Suite)
Scattered piano melody with electronic effects over a subtle ambient synth drone. Background drone grows in waves of atmospheric noise. The noise grows stronger and harsher, almost swallowing the piano notes. Another string drone swells to finish. Introspective, melancholy and reflective, suiting a moment of pause, reflecting on the past and contemplating the future. Suitable for thoughtful ending in a TV/Doc.
w/ synths: Added other-wordly synth drones and wonky sustained synth lines, giving an off-kilter edge.
w/ strings: Regal orchestral string arrangement on top of piano melody from the start, string lines intersecting in a looping counterpoint.
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.
Silver Moon
Violin-led country-folk instrumental. Folky violin melody with occasional harmonies soars over wistful slide guitar, gentle electric guitar, double bass and steady drums. Warm, fuzzy and sentimental, perfect for a slightly cheesy, Waltons-style, wholesome American TV show or nostalgic advert.
Ed Mark
Sparse, western acoustic guitar track. Desolate Americana with touches of harsh slide guitar, like something out of a tense, Ry Cooder-scored Western. Atmospheric, strange and nostalgic, would suit a cowboy parody or Western-style advert or TV scene/documentary.
Theme 6 O Kepler
Contemplative acoustic guitar and piano track. Gently strummed guitar with sparse piano melody. Soft, thoughtful and wistful, would suit a reflective TV scene, a character soul-searching and wandering empty streets.
Sweet Madness
Soothing acoustic guitar track. Gentle acoustic guitar chords beneath a sparse guitar melody. Relaxed, laid-back and wistful, perfect music for a romantic drama, summer love or a reflective TV scene set in a sleepy town.
Awake When Yr Asleep
Whimsical, dubby but light electronic beat with a carefree whistling synth topline. Chilled, laid back ambient progresses to a light driving pulse, suitable for technology documentaries – imagine a promo unveiling Tesla’s new car.
