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.

Also using slow building risers and hits makes this more than just an ambient piece, giving a useable, more diverse track to match visuals to. Dark and agitated, perfect for horror, suspense and thriller genres.

Powerful trailer-like hits climax into a rockish beat with electronic guitars

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.

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.  

Stylish take on a trap beat. Featuring a classic hip hop/trap beat, the instrumentation gives a more cinematic feel, with ambient, reverbed piano themes and orchestral string backing. It is the synth lead however that is the most prominent, as it interplays with the deep bass, chord stabs and vocal samples to create a mysterious sounding track, fresh and intriguing with a sense of curiosity.

Hectic and chaotic cinematic orchestral track. Hitting the listener with diverse rhythms and playing styles from all angles, from off-beat choral chants to random instruments stabs and percussive hits, it creates an unsettling and jarring effect throughout. An underlying double bass line unerringly marches on to give a stable bed to the devilishly playful madness going on above, creating an uneasy and threatening hostility that never relents. High energy tension for the slightly deranged.

Sweet piano piece with haunting undertones. Never quite certain if it's a gentle lullaby or a sinister horror soundtrack, its multi-level nuances come from the slightest interval changes in the piano melodies. Backed by evolving cello textures and enchanting bells, it's a lilting track of sweet dreams ....... and perhaps sweeter nightmares.

Dark and ambient cinematic hybrid, featuring eerie pads and synths. Starting from a gritty soundscape of synth drones and warped effects, it flourishes into a more melodic theme of bright, open chords and subtle background string ostinato - an airy, euphoric release from the tension generated either side of it, as the return of the edgy darkness takes over once again. Futuristic and downtempo atmospheres with a haunting beauty.

Futuristic ambient soundscape. Perfect as background music in science fiction movies, games and videos thanks to its digital sense of expanse and meandering openness, it's built on haunting synth tones and interjecting glitch effects and textures. No real rhythmic feel, just a dark and mysterious vibe with a hint of suspense.

639 Hz - a frequency filled with love, radiance, and positive energy. It's the frequency of the heart, but don't expect James Blunt style whinings. This is a meditation soundscape designed to go much deeper, whistling straight into your inner core with haunting tones and evolving sound design. As useful for cinematic ambience as it is for spiritual energising, it's said to help you build harmonious relationships with others. Might work better than a mix tape of 80's love ballads.

High energy horror with a powerful Hollywood sound. An edgy orchestral track featuring manic, fast paced violins and brass stabs, complemented by whirling woodwinds. Unsettling in its build up, it cuts to a pause in order to regenerate the mood once again with the nervous strings, adding a stronger, disorienting off-beat feel. Lots of foreboding tension, especially helped by a constant military snare, and an overall sinister mood make this perfect for dramatic action scenes with a darker ambience.

On the other hand, it's the soundtrack to your worst, most isolated horror nightmares and the darkest, creepiest underworld you never want to visit. The choice is yours - it's just a question of context.

Spiritual, religious and inspirational christian music with a dramatic climax. Hallelujah, darkness becomes light.

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.

Epic and dramatic maelstrom of orchestral texture, building into an intense climax. Featuring the whole orchestra in a well constructed, well paced action sequence, it's full of percussive hits, fluttering tremolos, cascading wind runs, brass stabs and a whole pit of underlying menace. Wonderfully dynamic and packing a real punch.

Ghostly goings-on, devilish delights and frolicking phantoms reign in this playful track. Is there an eerie theremin? Of course there is. Is there a toy piano? Of course. Pizzicato strings? Yep. Plodding brass bass line? Sure. Cackling spectres in the background? Don't mind if I do. Hard house rave beat? Don't be ridiculous, that really wouldn't help - we're going for spooky 'what's creeping up on me' with this track and you won't be disappointed. Unless they see you from the shadows.
