Epic symphonic track. Packed with action, intensity and a strong battle feel, it uses string ostinato and lots of snare percussion to generate a dramatic and, at times, chaotic ambience. Split into 2 halves to allow for a dynamic change and subsequent build up, the heroic brass adds tension thoughout under the screaming violins and relentless basses. Tense, bold and soaked in impending doom.

Romantic yet heartbreaking country rock track. Soft male vocals and a standard rock group setup form the bulk of the instrumentation, but it's the lush strings and killer backing harmonies that really lift the song to another level. Singing about the need to leave a lover, it's a tragic case of unfortunate break-up and heartache wrapped up in a gentle and tender ballad shaped box.

Hollow and desperate piano instrumental, epitomising loneliness and helplessness. Slow, methodical piano meanders throughout, searching for a theme, enhanced by electro sound design elements that reinforce the sound of empty space. Not a piece that's going to brighten your day, unless you've been searching for the perfect accompaniment to your solitude and loss of hope.

Atmospheric cinematic track. With a metronomic feel thanks to the constant arpeggiated piano, it has an unhurried sense of movement and flow, calmed by long string legato lines and intensified by a subtle backdrop of violin harmonics. Very serene - gentle with a sense of enigmatic curiosity.

Orchestral carnival theme with a sense of the macabre. Very animated, with all the instruments of the orchestra featured for a dynamic and at times, deliberately hectic and manic feel, it captures both the fun, comical side of the circus with the darker, more horror themed associations we've come to see on the big screen. Hauntingly enjoyable.

A melancholic folk ballad featuring acoustic guitars, piano and an overall feeling of nostalgia and melancholy

Ethereal and mysterious classical piece. Woodwinds accompany a celeste theme to open, followed by more diversity from the orchestra as the track unravels. Slow and creeping, creating suspense and wonder in equal measure, it's a simple yet well crafted work with a cinematic touch.

Catchy country rock ballad. Smoochy sounding, but dig a little deeper into the lyrics and you hear its sinister subject: being stuck in a controlling relationship. So heavy in theme, but gentle in music, it's a well polished piano based track with great harmonies and all the country trimmings you'd expect - we're talking electric guitar licks and an unmistakeable flavour of downbeat heartbreak and love.

Cinematic hybrid track with an ever shifting mood. Starting gently with strings and horns, it gives an impression of mellow reflection which soon turns more sinister with the introduction of bolder brass and timpani. It turns once again, with solo violin making a yearning, mournful appearance over string ostinato before becoming more rock styled through a prominent electric bass line and percussive beat. With the suspense and intensity building, the string melody becomes dominant, spearheading the epic final assault and resulting in a piece that delivers drama, mystery and contrast.

Minimalist neo classical track, featuring piano and violin. A soft arpeggiated piano intro lays the bed for a whistful solo violin entry, full of yearning and reflection. Interpersed with pizzicato, it's the violin that sings the song over the ever constant piano accompaniment, creating a feeling of suspense, wonder and fragility. A dark piece full of intrigue.

A dramatic orchestral underscore with slow string swells and an overall suspenseful, dramatic feel

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.

An emotive and big electronic dance track, featuring swirling pads, driving beats, synth and guitar textures and melodic hook

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

This suspenseful atmospheric soundtrack features a heart-beat and evolving states of a wicked mind.

Emotional cinematic track. Building from a gentle soft pad with reverbed guitar and piano motifs to a more epic, orchestral theme, this hybrid track covers many sentiments. Using reverb for a spacious and airy effect in the gentle, sentimental sections to using horns, strings and percussion for an epic, heroic feel in the main theme, there are subtle variations throughout to keep the interest and maintain a gradual build up. A smooth hybrid piece with a sense of regret and sadness mixed with a triumphant determination and optimism.

Epic rock instrumental for any uplifting situation. Starting with a fast, arpeggiated piano theme, the full band soon drops in - clean electric guitars, solid bass and energetic drums generating a modern and full rock sound. Split into subtly distinct sections, but never losing its flow due to the continuous piano theme, it tells a story of determination, achievement and optimism.

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