Diane et Ido

Soft emotive classical guitar is joined by sad cello, soft glockenspiel, bass and melodica. Crescendo’s to a melancholy finish on solo classical guitar. Sad, magical, sensory, with a sense of loss and grieving.

A l'Ctoile figCe

Soft bell-like marimba / glockenspiel is joined by emotive classical guitar, percussion and bass. Beautiful, rich, organic and hopeful. Quietly inspiring with glimpses of sadness and a strong happy end.

Standing Still

Proud and quirky, melodica and rhodes with acoustic guitar arpeggios and squelchy percussive rhythms and finally timpanis. Reminiscent of Bjork in a fun mood.

The Happy and the Sad

Sweet, light and innocent plucked strings are joined by synth bass and kalimba. Happy and wistful.

The Club was Full of Girls in 1981

Seriously Seventies disco track, with funk guitar, bass, keys, brass section and vocals. Sleek, funky and retro, perfect for advert encapsulating that feeling before hitting the club, getting ready for a night out with your ladies or your boys.

March for a One Armed Nutcracker

Comedy for toy instruments. Sounds like: A riot of toys dancing around the tree at Christmas.

Making Jack a Dull Boy

Dark atmospheric piano elements with tambourine and other percussion. Grooving and dissonant, building with tense octave notes. Sounds like: Tom Waits’ soundtrack to Down By Law.

Ladybirds

Delicate harmonies on strings, with later gentle percussion and theremin-like synthesiser.

Kentish Plover

Triplet-feel dramatic orchestral refrain, with soft voices and repeating phrases. This is hilarious and highly dramatic at the same time. Perfect for an episode of Bagpuss, if Bagpuss was trying to fly a biplane to the moon. Includes real violins, voices, kazoo, accordion, wooden percussion and a whole lot of interesting phrasing.
