A downbeat suspense theme. Brushed drums and a falling piano sequence create a sense of longing, added strings and pads help to build the intensity. Solo cello subtly creates extra melancholy and nostalgia.

A slow-tempo, emotional acoustic folk song with rich orchestral string section background and an overall sad, melancholic feel

A soft, lilting orchestral track. Shades of mystery and discovery are evoked by the dark, mellow ethnic flute backed up by whistful, melancholic cello and oboe leads. A good underlying movement is created by soft percussion, string shorts and rolling arpeggiated piano as well as the phrasing of the music to create a piece of magical serenity, wonder and reassurance.    

Contemplative fingerstyle acoustic guitar track with a soft, rolling lilt. Certainly creating a mood of longing, love and nostalgia, it keeps moving on, through its continuous background split chords and phrasal solo melodies. Ambient and deep, it leaves an emotional trace behind while keeping a light and airy passion.

An ethereal, ambient synth track with spacious, swelling pads and light background vocals

A short, spooky horror theme with a vintage, lo-fi feel to evoke those darkest of unwanted memories from times best forgotten. Hollow and brittle, but hypnotically repetitive, there are small subtleties to lift it - detuned instruments, dropouts, jagged string stabs and pizzicato - with a near constant deep brooding bass to rumble your bones. An edgy and mysterious, fast moving track that works great as a tension builder or scene setter.

852 Hz – the frequency of the Third Eye Chakra and the miracle tone for awakening intuition, kind of like a portal to a clearer way of thinking, directing you away from overthinking, intrusive thoughts and negative thought patterns. Without hesitation, I'm happy to say that this visionary meditative soundscape can lift your spirits with its sweeping tones and ethereal dynamic, raising your mood to higher levels and targeting the subconscious workings of the inner mind. Soothing, inquisitive, brooding and intimate.

Fantasy adventure track. Using the complete orchestra to generate an organised chaos, this fast paced piece features themes from all directions - string runs, woodwind answering phrases, brass interjections and relentless percussion all combining to create a circus of sounds with a hint of the macabre. A whirlwind of symphonic fantasy.

Epic and powerful orchestral track with a melodic violin theme.

Intense and terrifying cinematic theme, with creepy pads and synths, pulsating percussion and a sinister atmosphere. Creating a disturbing intensity with aggressive sirens and impacts, they give way to a softer, more psychological tension of synth melody and dark textures in this steady paced, truly atmospheric soundscape full of background subtlety and effects.

An epic suspense-building orchestral track with a powerful string section and deep, percussive timpani strikes

Deep and brooding soundscape made up of sub bass tones and synth design elements. Minimalist and airy with a sinister and impending tension.

Epic orchestral theme. String ostinato is progressively joined by more percussion, brass and choir to build into a dramatic finale. Centred around the main repeating string motif, the style is intense and impending while the percussion gives a modern, hybrid edge to the music.  

A mystifying mix of styles, instruments and languages. Hypnotic and psychedelic in a trip hop style, with a cinematic arthouse flavour nodding to the bizarre, there is a constant progression and evolution that captivates and envelopes the listener. Using melodica melodies for an eerie fun, futuristic theremin for a sci-fi wierdness and random sound effects to unsettle, there's arpeggiated classical guitar and funk bass for a taste of the traditional familiar, as well as vibraphone, chimes, and piano to sprinkle their charm over the spectrum of diversity. Add in intimate and agonised vocals and you have the complete recipe for a journey into a weird and wonderful world.

Ambient soundscape. Drones, pads and filtered sounds combined with heavy reverb create a slow paced and mysterious atmosphere of isolation and wonder.

Tense orchestral hybrid track. Male and female choir chanting, cinematic percussion and deep synth textures marry with a full range of orchestral techniques and dynamics for an epic, jagged piece that is action packed, unsettling and dramatic. Dark and gothic due to the choral elements, it captures an energetic and panicked spirit with a sense of struggle and fight.

Starting harsh this soundtrack developes into a sentimental atmospheres with female vocals.

Adrenalin fuelled cinematic track. A rhythmically charged intro of unison piano and string shorts flourishes into a gothic fantasy dance with subtly macabre overtones, featuring choral melodies and later, epic brass. Impacts and percussion drive the piece forward in a swirl of dramatic emotion, rising again through a key change to its conclusion. Darkly romantic with a playful vibe, it is an energetic, all action piece with a grandiose flair.

Sentimental pop rock track. Starting with an emotional warm piano accompanied by strummed acoustic guitar, the piece builds to its full, heroic, string enhanced chorus while never losing its calm, assured presence. Determined and positive in feel, with an uplifting, heartfelt spirit.

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.
