Mystical EDM track. Atmospheric pads, deep bass and fast, repeated keyboard patterns mix with a light techno beat for a dramatic, futuristic vision of another world. Abstract and high-tech, energetic yet soothing, it's a piece that creates a powerful and evocative mood.

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.  

An eerie minor key glockenspiel melody evoking a sense of mystery and deep nostalgia

Simple but effective tension builder, with just enough dramatic edge to play a perfect supporting role to picture. Swirling background strings, clean reverbed guitar lines and a prominent cello lead all combine over the haunting, repetitive minimalism of the piano resulting in a cinematic voyage of discovery and wonder. Enigmatic and ethereal with a sense of elegance and control.

A classical guitar ballad accompanied by soft percussion and light piano chords

A slow, mellow soul song featuring soft female vocals, electric piano chords and percussive bass lines

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

Ambient Western track, in no hurry to get anywhere in particular. Soaking up the desert heat at walking pace, it's a beautifully constructed mix of shimmering strummed electric guitar chords, tremolo and slide leads, whistles and harmonica that oozes Americana. Percussive hand drums add some horse flavours to the theme, a theme that at times is sad and nostalgic, at others more comfortable in its solitude, but portrays a lot more than just cowboys and saddle sores.

Emotional, sentimental and dramatic piano and orchestra instrumental music. Heartfelt, romantic and evocative underscore.

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.

Slow building, cinematic orchestral piece. Immediately dramatic and intense, through single repeated piano notes and suspenseful violin harmonics, there's an ethnic edge in the instrumentation merging with strings and oboe as the piece turns darker with rich bass and dissonant textures. Ambient and brooding throughout with a tragic, heroic feel to the second half due to a sweeping string and brass melody accompanied by added timpani and rhythm, it remains a calm yet slightly unsettling piece with outstanding tension.

A lovely soundtrack with European waltz influences and playful bell sounds

Mystical, orchestral epic, with an ethereal quality. Soothing choir and lush strings and pads start us off, with rich brass swelling to a gently pulsing section of strings and woodwinds as it builds to a more epic finale of fanfare brass and timpani rolls. No stand out melodies, but an overall feel of wonder and enlightenment in a gentle and majestic setting.

A intimate piano telling a short emotional but uplifting story

Super chilled ambient track, with a chill hop beat, rhythmic warps and warm, old school feels through the use of vibraphone, reverbed guitar and synth textures. Just like floating along on a cloud of unhurried passiveness, it leaves you in a state of carefree calm and deep relaxation.

A gritty, cowboy western rock'n'roll track with faint distorted vocals and blazing electric guitar solos.

A beautiful piano and cello duet. Nicely paced with a flowing rhythm, the intensity is enhanced by extra strings. Emotional and nostalgic, the music also explores a slightly mysterious and curious side.  

Tense orchestral track. Unsettling offbeats and ominous descending themes, mixed with fast, jagged strings, create a world of swirling intensity that cycles round, only momentarily pausing at times to rebuild again. Supported by a backbeat of percussive hits and interjecting brass stabs, it has high energy and movement with a strong gothic, epic feel.

Laid back, jazz blues track with a more modern rock sensibility. Yearnful male vocals feature over smooth groove rhythm, with a variety of mellow punctuating elements - synth hits, jazz blues guitar leads, vibraphone .... Downbeat and relaxed, it's a song about being together with someone that is undoubtedly optimistic yet still has an emotional underlying angst in feeling.

A sentimental rock track with spacey lead guitar. Major use of tremolo and a big drum beat create movement in an otherwise slower paced piece. An optimistic mood, with a reflective tone.
