Electronic beats with heavy delay, echoing, harsh and glassy. Bleepy synth seeps into the soundscape. Orchestral strings provide a sombre humanity. Beats intensify to a sparse finish. Suspense, tension and a sense of foreboding.

Self Severed
Female vocal track. Hang drum beat, low female vocal, emotive and melodic. Gentle guitar creeps in, adding brightness and a tinge of hope. Instrumental section with strings and more complex drums and grungey guitar section before a quiet, reflective vocal ending. 90s, sentimental and romantic. Imagine this in Dawson’s Creek, Dawson and Joey, alone in their rooms, each day dreaming of the other.
Secret Sampler
Whispered female vocal intro chopped up into a rhythmic vocal loop, resolves into an ethereal Spanish guitar and vocal melodic segment. Mysterious, sensual and supernatural, sounding like a Spanish Bjork or Charlotte Gainsbourg, would suit a strange, psychedelic TV/Film sequence.
Rhythm N Blues
Introspective Rhodes piano track. Jazz vibes, scratchy beats, drums and echoing piano. Relaxed, chilled and sombre, building toward the end and edging towards Kurt Vile-style classic rock territory. Perfect for a reflective onscreen moment.
Nakasila
Rhythmic track made with sounds from the human body. Clapping, breathing and playful vocals interspersed with a repetitive acoustic guitar motif and synth bass line, adding depth and sweetness. Light and airy, percussive and cyclical, suitable for a dreamy onscreen interlude.
Liberia
Orchestral track with drums and a pop vibe. Shuffling drums, bass guitar and orchestral strings are joined by gentle acoustic guitar for a powerful positive build. Bass break with electronic beats toward the close, before the full band rejoins for a joyful finale. Anthemic and Elbow-esque, suitable for subtly feel-good soundtracks, charity campaigns or longform adverts.
Kids, Knives, Broken Lives (Instrumental)
Distorted synth track. A dramatic, industrial-sounding build followed by broad beats and a heavy synth line. Melodic yet heavy, edgy and cool, this track would suit a tense contemporary thriller, crime drama or urban advert.
Hoodstar (Instrumental)
Brooding, intense instrumental with electronic samples, synth and hip hop drums. Tense, minimal at times, mysterious and foreboding, leaves us without any answers. Suitable for a tense inner-city investigation on a crime series or film.
High
Intense, emotional female vocal with tense orchestral strings, acoustic guitar and beats. Dreamy vocals, gentle plucked acoustic guitar and reverb-laden beats create a woozy atmosphere with a 90s feel. Orchestral strings and bass guitar underpin the breathy melody. Romantic, nostalgic and intoxicating, would suit a 90s throwback teen drama.
Eastern 2
Dramatic instrumental track. Glitchy electronics begin, joined by swooping orchestral strings and, soon after, the instrumentation and percussion reminiscent of a Bollywood soundtrack. Final section moves to a more Spanish guitar sound with the sounds of acoustic guitar and what could be intricate foot taps or castanets. A fusion track that would suit the movement from an intense to a more low key mood on screen.
