Tribal African Music. Fun, quirky, rhythmic and catchy with a light, positive and uplifting mood. African stomps and chants.

Dramatic and powerful track, full of cinematic tension. To start, it's a soft piano creating an ambient, pensive mood, helped by solo cello and violin lines, by the end it's a brooding, dark drama piece backed by metronomic percussion, string shorts and rich brass for a full and dynamic sense of evolving dilemma and unravelling denouement.

Electro tech track. Synth arps and drum loops form the basic melody and rhythm, enhanced with sub bass. Punchy effects and electric guitar power chords add an industrial feel to create a hi-tech, hi-motion piece.

Romantic easy listening piece for harp and piano. Melodic and meandering, it flows gently through the dynamic harp passages, echoed by piano and beautifully enhanced by soft strings. Gradually building with stronger drums and added layers of instrumentation, it's a simple story of togetherness and ease.

Fast paced, energetic jazz track. With its fleet-footed, almost nervous, intensity thanks to the drums and double bass, this light track also features strong off-beat accents and syncopation to generate an urgent sense of movement. Piano and flute feature heavily in the leads and delicate high strings create suspense - all combining to achieve a sophisticated mood of unresolved tension.

Purely percussive audio logo made up of taiko impacts, cymbal and warped synth buzz.

Fun and quirky happy instrumental background music with a whistle and glockenspiel melody over ukulele and percussion

Mid tempo indie rock track with classic rock influences. Vocal harmonies, power chords and organic drums form the bulk of the chorus, offset by a gentler verse section of more tender vocals and lighter picked guitar. A revolutionist's song to show strength, courage and determination.  

A beautiful acoustic track featuring soft male vocals, warm acoustic guitars, glockenspiel and optimistic outlook

Dramatic news headline music. Slightly intense, with an urgent rhythmic pace, it blends the modern digital world of busy synth themes with the classic professional and serious influences of the epic orchestra to prepare you for the ongoing journalistic values of the day.

A powerful superhero-style trailer with a dark vibe. Edgy and pulsing with a lurking intensity, get hit by deep brass explosions and hyped synth alarms, rumbling bass and cinematic string ostinato for a full-on sensory attack of blockbuster proportions. Highly atmospheric and engrossingly dramatic.

Dance into the Caribbean night with this feel good track. Featuring steel drums and electric guitar for the melody, and to create the classic West Indies sound, it's the pounding rhythm section of percussive drums and lively bass that generate the movement, helped by lots of 'call/response' phrasing throughout. A short breakdown of delayed keyboard over hand drums and shaker freshens things up, ready for the return of the main theme to finish. Happy days.  

A ritualistic combination of claps and stomps with playground children voices in the background

Epic dubstep, creating a hybrid genre of cinematic orchestral power and contemporary, hard hitting beats. Building up from a steady paced intro of synth pulses and percussion with risers and textures, adding in the orchestral elements gradually hikes up the tension until it goes full on cinema mode with the grandest of themes, perfect for dramatic tension and trailers. A bold statement of majesty and positivity with a slightly dark, yet utterly confident overall feel.

A gentle, mid tempo instrumental. A delayed piano introduces the main theme, soon joined by strummed guitar and synth pads for a richer sound. A soft stomp feel from the bass and solid beat gives a sense of momentum and strength, helping the uplifting and inspirational tone without getting heavy. A mid section of keyboard and string shorts changes the mood to a more dramatic, serious tone before pizzicato strings add a touch of frivolity towards the end to remind us it's a cheerful piece, full of positivity and motivation even during the more reflective moments.

If I say 'pirates' and you think 'Caribbean', then we both know where this is heading. With more than a passing reference to a certain well-known theme, it's every bit as swashbuckling, unleashing the full power of a cinematic orchestra and its percussive ensemble. Having said that, it does have slightly less seafaring tendencies and could easily lend itself to many other action settings from thrillers to adventure scenes, given its generally sterner feel. Epic stuff.

Some post midnight, chill hop sensuality. Soft mood lighting with a comforting intimacy, slow dances round the living room, the smell of late night heat and unfinished cocktails - its the soul inspired, jazzy electric piano vibes and cosy beat that does it. Laid back, ambient, minimal and above all, sexy.

Here's a track that does what it says - clapping. Fast paced, syncopated group clapping in rhythmically percussive form. And nothing more, pure and simple.

What a happy track. Normally you'd be excused for thinking it's just another ukulele/glockenspiel track with an overly cheerful whistle, but wait ... a touch of realism in the form of a brass section arrives to save the day, transforming it into a more authentic and slightly novel kids/corporate tune. Upbeat, gently warm and of course, bursting with sunshine-y positivity.

Atmospheric chill pop track. Soft keyboard, muted guitars, strings and a light, animated beat create an inspiring lifestyle feel, enhanced by sweeps and effects. Slight RnB trap influences keep it fresh and modern with a nod to the retro held up in the vintage keyboard tones. A simple but effective background track with a cool, clean vibe.
