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

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.

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.

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.

80s influenced synthwave with a pounding industrial beat and sounds. A full time workout for the arpeggiator and a deep, pulsing buzz bass take us back in time for a retro vision of the future, with lots of textures and effects to add a cinematic touch. Grand and expansive in its production, the main theme remains the simple arpeggiated chord progression, generating ideas of sci-fi mystery and wonder in a fast developing digital world.

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 and moving duet with a nostalgic feel, featuring piano and violin melodies backed by acoustic guitar

Hard driving pop rock track, with elements of funk, techno and ambient EDM. Energy comes from the fast picked muted guitar riff, funk bass and drum beat. Lots of delay, reverb and synth pads add atmosphere, as do the synth arps and gated stabs. It may be lively, but it still keeps a cool and sophisticated vibe for an overall feeling of controlled optimism and positivity.

A intimate piano telling a short emotional but uplifting story

A moving cinematic track featuring a piano lead, spacious background chorals, and soft glockenspiel fills

Hard hitting orchestral hybrid teaser. Short, and very direct, it launches distorted synth missiles into our ears while pounding us with industrial cyber drums. Sweetening the pain with some fast violin ostinato won't save us, just increase the intensity until our insides disintegrate from the final sub bass drop. All very dramatic, you'll agree.

A dark, ambient cinematic theme, with edgy pulses, drones, echoing beats and creepy textures. Gently animated by a delayed rhythmic momentum, it is rich and soft, with ominous chordal progressions and a variety of synth tones weaving a seductive web around the brooding lair that it creates - a mysterious dark hole full of tension and curiosity.

Electronic horror-themed track with arpeggiated keyboard, underlying light trap beat and synth pulses

A serenely beautiful slice of Celtic whistfulness, enough to transport you effortlessly through the rolling mists and enchanted forests of an idyllic setting to an ethereal place beyond. Soft, intimate strings lay a foundation for the lyrical Irish flute and pipes, made all the more magical by airy vocal pads and gentle percussive thrills. Slightly sad and regretful, but spiritual, evocative and comforting at the same time.

Old school boom bap beat, with a lo-fi, downtempo vibe and swathes of rich poignancy seeping from its honest core. Calming, melodic piano simply does its thing over a fat, raw beat, filled out by deep synth pads, synth strings and ethereal textures. Pensive ambience with a hip hop soul.

A short track telling of a sudden change of sorrow with piano, strings and percussion

Epic and cinematic track tinged with a sense of sorrow, regret and desperation. It remains a huge orchestral event, full of brass braams, powerful drums and rich strings, but there's always a sense of yearning in the chord progressions and themes, making for very distinct and specific trailer music.

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.

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.

Mysterious and tense hybrid track. With fantasy elements and gothic overtones from the use of sparkling glockenspiel and operatic vocals, the piece marries various moods whilst always suggesting an impending danger and wonder. Running synth phrases, electric guitar stabs and shrill legato strings complement the rich and diverse landscape, backed by a strong and steady drum beat. A supernatural and mystical revelation.
