Simple corporate track ticking all the boxes: uplifting progressions, melodic harmonies and an overall feel of determination and motivation. Guitar plucks and a solid beat start it off, building steadily through bass and piano, with added strings for a little extra panache. It's light, it's driven and it's definitely worth a listen.

Dynamic EDM track featuring an eclectic mix of stylings and instruments over a trap beat. Upbeat and energetic synths play a big part, but the diversity comes from mixing with piano, acoustic guitar and flute to create an ever evolving hybrid of hard hitting, anthemic club sounds and softer, more experimental acoustic flavours, all glued together by the beat. Uplifting and dramatic for the most part, with a sense of curiosity.

Classic rock track with an industrial synth breakdown. Late 70s/early 80s style space rock - big guitars and synth backing - gets modern synth risers and sweeps added to create a contrast of old versus new. Lots of forward momentum from the rising, chugging guitar riff and driving drum beat. An unashamedly ballsy stadium piece.

Reflective sounding hip hop instrumental, based on a repeating guitar melody and layered with synth, piano, deep bass and a clean beat in various combinations. Soft and chilled with an animated drum pattern to liven it up, it makes great background music for a modern, sensitive slice of drama.

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

Classy pop instrumental track with an upbeat funk groove, it's got a sense of the corporate about it, but so much more - this is not your usual business accompaniment. Muted guitar, crisp drums and percussion, synth and sound design - it all follows a fairly simple uplifting and feel good theme, but effortlessly and naturally driven. Very positive, upbeat and determined with a reassuring confidence.

Rise to all challenges, conquer all weaknesses, defy the odds - this is the story of heroic ambition and the power to achieve. How best to get that sound? String ostinatos and an army of French horns of course. And with a little help from the percussion section and the rest of the orchestra, some subtle sound design features and an uplifting chord progression, you have yourself the most awe-inspiring, motivational soundtrack you could ask for. Suitably heroic, majestic and just plain epic.

Who doesn't love a huge epic with searing strings and majestic brass? This is it, with a little extra oomph. It's a builder, going from soft string ostinato into a drop of dramatic proportions to introduce the main theme: a steadily grandiose and heroic melody, helped largely by percussive hits, deep, deep braams, and marcato strings. Then double it. With searing strings and plenty of horns. An emotional triumph.

A beautiful slice of melodic orchestral music, with a hugely inspirational and awe-inspiring theme. Gentle cinematic piano kicks things of, joined by light string ostinatos before dropping into the full hit of total splendour- a dramatic cascade of elegant legato strings and rich brass, backed by driving percussion and the angelic sounds of a choir. Nothing short of majestic.

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.

If a robot could dream, and you could represent that dream in music, is this what it would sound like? Hypnotic, digital, slightly randomised and somewhat comforting - it's pure electronica featuring huge bass warps and filtered leads over a dubstep beat to evoke trance elements and an uncertain, almost neutral mood. Is it uplifting, happy, emotional or nostalgic? I'm not sure, but perhaps that's because I'm made of metal.

Gloriously ambient track with a heavy cinematic leaning. Building a bed of tension through soft piano and strings, it breaks into an expressive outpouring of reflective emotion, using a dynamic cello lead and chiming guitar. It's a theme that returns with more complexity and intensity, but manages to keep it's fragile, delicate sensitivity with a calming yet weighty vibe. Slow paced, and all the more powerful for it.

A steady electro track. Slightly mysterious thanks to the chord progression, creating movement due to its techno beat and heavy use of dynamic synth parts.

Tranquil piano ambience with a deeply mysterious edge. It's a simple theme using delay and reverb for movement and space, given diversity through unexpected time changes and sprinkled with sound design elements. Definitely dark, but more in wonder and suspense than anything sinister ...... or is it?

A hard hitting, cinematic powerhouse of a track - epic in nature but with an added dissonance to turn the feeling away from the usual majesty and heroism and towards the unnerving, foreboding and impending aggression. Massive drum hits, solid brass punches and a relentless synth bass pulse converge with ever growing marcato strings to develop into a solid paced expression of force.

Inspirational mix of gentle acoustic guitar, filtered synth textures and big drums. To describe it as 'corporate folk trap electro rock' would be a bit confusing, so I'll just say it has that uplifting, motivational feel, produced in an inventive and engaging way that actually works to calmly lift the energy and drive while staying true to its positive purpose.

Upbeat, energetic and, at times, hectic track of various styles. Essentially a drum n bass sandwich, it has a filling of high energy piano and synth-led chords and leads over a manic beat, garnished with effects, filters and envelopes. The bread in this case is an altogether smoother, Latin jazz based groove with a retro feel and warm vintage keyboard tones. Slightly eclectic, but positive and hard hitting. Buen provecho!

Chilled electro with a lo-fi feel. Melodic piano and a gentle, rich beat generate the movement, synth textures and effects generate the ambient filling and together create a sonic landscape of soulful dreams and rhythmic expression. Ambiently moody with a playful side.

Grand cinematic track, evolving from synth heavy industrial to full orchestral hybrid. Lots of pulses, drones and string ostinatos beefed up by rich brass, evocatively building to a simple but powerful theme. A safe bet for a powerful and energetic slice of drama and tension, with just the slightest occasional dissonance built in for added curiosity.

A peaceful and happy chillout track. Soft piano plays warm, chordal sequences over a lo-fi beat, enhanced by innocent keyboard melodies to add a light, playful touch. The gentle chill hop beat adds variety, dropping in and out for extra expression, leaving you in a deeply satisfying, care-free state of mind.
