A mysterious mix of classical and electronic styles to create a solemn, ambient vibe. A pulsing kick drum beat adds tension and movement under the suspense of light strings and an enchanting female vocal melody, enhanced by light brass, harp and vibraphone to blossom into the finale. Dreamily dark, sinisterly intriguing and a little bit mesmerizing.

Soothingly haunted piano instrumental, backed by strings and harp. Slow and intense, with piano parts ranging from simple arpeggios to virtuosic runs, it's beautifully crafted to give the impression of elegance and subtlety with a darker, unseen edge lurking nearby. Drama, suspense, reflection and tension are the key ingredients to this minimalist track.

Dark and moody piano instrumental, created as a perfect tension builder with electro splatterings and shimmering overtones. Plenty of sound design elements and creeping pulses add interest and drive to generate the brooding ambient soundscape, without losing its main core of fragile, haunting pianowork that binds it all together. Gentle and mysterious with an underlying sinister feel.

Slow burning trailer epic capturing all the tension and drama of a high end action blockbuster. Cinematic piano, drones and pulses lay a deeply atmospheric foundation for the string ostinato, big brass and electric guitar to swarm all over, steadily building in a wave of suspense and intrigue to a thrilling and energetic, all out action theme.

Tense orchestral track. Evoking dark satanic ceremonies and gothic energy through heavy use of the chanting choir, and destabilising the listener with uneven time signatures, it's a piece that leaves no doubt about its sinister intentions. Sharp, jagged strings, punctuated brass and tribal percussion contribute to the mood from the start, never letting up on the energy and intensity throughout. Unsettling and soaked in desperate, impending damnation.

Hectic and chaotic cinematic orchestral track. Hitting the listener with diverse rhythms and playing styles from all angles, from off-beat choral chants to random instruments stabs and percussive hits, it creates an unsettling and jarring effect throughout. An underlying double bass line unerringly marches on to give a stable bed to the devilishly playful madness going on above, creating an uneasy and threatening hostility that never relents. High energy tension for the slightly deranged.

This suspenseful atmospheric soundtrack features a heart-beat and evolving states of a wicked mind.

Fast moving orchestral string track. Traditional pizzicato, Bartok pizzicato, tremolo, marcato shorts and legato passages all add to the ever changing dynamic landscape of the piece for a sumptuous and playful vibe that's free flowing and energetic. Rhythmically adventurous due to tempo changes, fast staccatto passages and smooth, contrasting themes, you never truly settle and find yourself swallowed by a piece full of suspense, edginess and nervous energy.  

Orchestral carnival theme with a sense of the macabre. Very animated, with all the instruments of the orchestra featured for a dynamic and at times, deliberately hectic and manic feel, it captures both the fun, comical side of the circus with the darker, more horror themed associations we've come to see on the big screen. Hauntingly enjoyable.

Horror soundscape theme. What starts as an atmospheric horror build up of risers, metal hits, orchestral swarms and harmonics, harp glissandi and random percussive elements finally breaks into a short, off-beat orchestral string theme. Diabolically dramatic with no sense of tempo but a strong sense of tension, it's a track to catch you off guard and keep you guessing.

The clock is ticking and the sound promises secrets and tension.

Rhythmic soundscape, built on synth pads, arpeggiated leads and warped textures. 16th note delay creates constant movement. Overall, a slightly eerie, brooding atmosphere.

A heart-pounding orchestral suspense builder featuring dark wind instruments, whispers and a piano climax

Orchestral hybrid tension builder. Starting purely synth based with rapid arpeggiated chords, the intensity subtly and gradually increases with added electro bass, then choir, then industrial drum beat. String and brass stabs highlight the dramatic mood, swells enhance the suspense and the ceaseless underlying rhythm racks up the tension til the end. Cinematic action with a strong electro presence.

Unsettling soundscape of distorted bass swells, clean guitar and textures. An underlying percussive rhythm section attempts to ground the piece in a lounge jazz style, but is never allowed to dominate due to the interjecting effects - some natural, some synthesized. A tense and exploratory piece with dark overtones.

Orchestral track on a voyage of discovery, where the unexpected could be lurking around each corner. String ostinato keeps up the momentum while meandering and tense melodies from violins and choir search out a path to follow. Brass swells and rich horn and trombone lines add gravitas to an already dark and brooding atmosphere, forming a track that is steady paced but never really settled. Intriguing.

Hauntingly tense piano based track. Dark and atmospheric from the start, using a simple repeated piano theme, and enhanced by subtle, dissonant strings and choir to create suspense, the piece remains stable but varied throughout - synth pulses and percussion add movement, cello adds melancholy, glockenspiel adds lightness. The slow pace adds to the dramatic tension so you're left in no doubt that something must be lurking nearby.  

Short, pulsing drone theme to conjure up dark and foreboding terrors - a dark, ambient soundscape built of layered synth textures and sprinkled with atmospheric, tension building effects.

Sometimes it's the innocent simplicity that hides the darkest terrors. With a menacing detuned piano theme penetrating your brain over a backdrop of atmospheric vinyl crackle, string swarms and percussive metal hits, this horror trailer track has the brooding sense of witnessing something you really don't want to see. Very dark, very atmospheric, and very horror.

Dark suspense track. With gothic overtones thanks to the choral themes and cinematic fantasy thanks to the repeated glockenspiel and piano motifs, the horror seeds are planted early on to generate the brooding atmosphere. With a deep, rolling bass line and booming percussion enhanced by synth drops, brass rasps and jagged strings, it soon becomes a nightmarish mix of ominous energy and overwhelming helplessness.
