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

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

An epic, powerful and dark hybrid cinematic dubstep track, featuring glitched beats, war drums, aggressive bass and choir

Cartoon-esque horror track. Fun and fast paced, with an oompah style beat, featuring quick harpsichord and musicbox runs, theremin lead and wurlitzer background organ. Strings - pizzicato and shorts - help keep it playful while still portraying its creepy and ghostly theme.

A fast paced, characterful orchestral string ensemble piece. Lots of interwoven rhythmic play, as the intricacy of the string parts dominates the overall stuttered and tense mood. Gritty and nervous for the majority, with a calming middle section that rebuilds to the original skittish theme, the use of dissonance, changing tempo and off-beat accents highlights the intended drama and suspense, making this perfect for thriller, noir and horror genres.

Moody tension builder that constantly shifts direction and flavour whilst maintaining its gripping minimalist core. Based around a light, bouncing piano motif, the key changes, instrumentation and electro sound design regularly turn down a side street as the music tries to evade being locked down to any single identity. Mysterious, intriguing and almost playfully evasive, it's an ambient piece that keeps you on your toes whilst sitting confidently in the background.

A slower, more pensive drama theme. Repeating vibraphone motif leads to dark solo strings that combine feelings of terror, love and paranoia. Theremin and string shorts fill out the arrangement as the intensity gradually builds.

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.

Edgy orchestral track. Starting with a fast moving string theme and percussion, deep chimes ring in the ominous dread approaching. Building in intensity, and dropping out, become able suspense techniques throughout, as does contrasting the doom with light playful passages on strings, woodwinds or xylophone. Slurred legato violins apply textured expression and rich brass adds an aggressive feel to create a dramatic, mysterious and epic composition.

Chilling, atmospheric underscore. A texturised vocal drone with added haunting elements such as musicbox, dissonance and harmonics create a dark and suspense filled soundscape. Changes in intensity keep you aware of the lurking presence.

Atmospheric soundscape. Eerie sounding, and slightly sinister in feeling, it creates an impending tension through drones, dissonant tones and high pitched sounds before breaking into a pulsing section with sub bass hits and shrill synth textures. Dangerous and full of suspense, it paints an uneasy picture of unknown worlds and lurking doom.

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.

Powerful, dark and ambient track with themes of despair and impending doom, featuring eerie pads and synths. No beat, no impacts, just a synth created soundscape to put you on the edge of darkness. Shimmering and unsettling, with a rich sense of wonder.

A waltzing horror theme. A musicbox opening motif leads into orchestral stabs and theremin top line. Background chorus, tremolo strings and chimes all add to the creepiness as it builds to a suspenseful finale. A cursed lullaby. A waltz from hell. Don’t let the melody hypnotize you. Run.

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.

Gritty atmospheric track. More soundscape than melody, it marries acoustic and synth sounds for a hybrid track reflecting tension, intrigue and dark suspense. Starting with a raw, biting cello and metronomic percussion, tension is introduced through high strings, background chorals and synth textures to create an unsettling, eerie vibe, eventually breaking into a fuller beat without letting up on the chills. Mean and moody.

Orchestral hybrid track with a strong aggressive streak. Starting with soft strings and underlying textures, the mood turns harder as industrial percussion kicks in, creating a chaotic fusion between jagged strings and harsh brass runs. Ominous, highly charged and tense.

Epic cinematic rock track. Go heavy on the sub bass and overdriven synths, add some wild growls and a rock steady drum beat, then twist in some dramatic effects to turn the savage dial up to 10. Sinister goings-on from a warped perspective in the darkest of post apocalyptic times. Did I forget to mention the creepy girl whispering in your ear? She didn't forget about you, and she's watching from the shadows.........

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

A tense and anxious cinematic synth sequence. Building from a pulsing bass start, and adding dramatic percussive hits and impacts, the slow crescendo of a riser and dissonant cluster signals the impending climax and subsequent unexpected cutoff. Full of suspense and nervous energy for those stressful situations.
