A gentle and daunting glockenspiel melody provoking a sense of mystery and wonder.

A romantic alt-rock ballad featuring powerful male vocals and layers of distorted guitars

Spacey, ethereal track. Starting as a pure, synth soundscape with lush textures and pads, the dreamlike atmosphere becomes enhanced by rhythmic pulses and soft arpeggiated leads, sprinkled with chimes and warped effects. No beat, just a mobile fluidity, like a cloud set in motion by a chorus of angels.  

A slow orchestral piece featuring a piano melody and string solos creating an overall somber feeling

Smooth, easy listening pop instrumental. Lots of flowing background keyboard runs, soft pads and gentle acoustic guitar give a meandering momentum to the piece, while pop brass give an unexpected stab, resulting in an upbeat and energetic contrast to the mellow undertone. Nothing heavy, but a relaxed, self assured and expectant vibe with lots of positivity.

A dynamic electronic love song featuring male vocals rich synths and electronic percussion

Classic Orchestral music describing a positive and family-friendly atmosphere

Minimalistic cinematic soundtrack that gets under the skin. Featuring orchestral elements and female vocals.

80s inspired synth pop track. High energy from the drums and bass, with heavily reverbed keyboard and guitar lead being the melodic focus. Fast arpeggiated synth patterns, sweeps and risers add to the retro vibe. Key modulations between sections give a sense of movement and progression throughout the piece. The main repeated theme gives off a sense of mystery and intrigue.

Atmospheric track with a cinematic shimmer. Starting piano based, with a delicate string drone to support the tension, it builds through faster notes and greater instrumentation to its main string theme of slightly Oriental inspired violin and cello. Mysterious and curious in feeling, with a sense of apprehension, it is nevertheless calm and free flowing, taking you on a journey to an unknown world.

A nostalgic acoustic ballad featuring bright guitar chords and beautiful female vocals

Sentimental pop rock track. Starting with an emotional warm piano accompanied by strummed acoustic guitar, the piece builds to its full, heroic, string enhanced chorus while never losing its calm, assured presence. Determined and positive in feel, with an uplifting, heartfelt spirit.

Serene background track. After the delicate intro of plucked harp, light piano and gentle vocal aahs, accentuated with legato violins, glockenspiel and woodwinds, the piece flourishes into a night time serenade of lush strings and sparkle. Dreamy and reflective in mood, it's the strings that take the lead with a little help from a subtle percussive shaker to add movement and flow as it transitions back to the innocent, child-like theme from the intro.

A dramatic and touching piano ballad with hip-hop drum patterns and soft vocals with feelings of regret and sorrow

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.

Ambient piano and orchestra merge to form a soothing, atmospheric soundcape of calm positivity, hope and sincerity. Starting with light textures, pads and drones to form an airy canvas, the piano sketches its simple theme for the orchestra to colour in. Rich strings and prominent cello serenely guide us through the emotions, floating on a delicate wave of peace and harmony. Cinematic and uplifting whilst maintaining a relaxed ambience.

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

Old school, lo-fi hip hop with a dreamy, trippy haze. Very chill, using simple delayed guitar melodies and soft, laid back keyboard lines to create a calm, relaxed groove playing on the back of the beat.

A romantic and nostalgic love ballad with expressive female vocals, full-range acoustic guitar and mellow percussion

Downtempo, gritty R&B pop. A calm intro of clean electric guitar and soulful male vocals mixes with a heavily saturated fuzz bass for depth as the intensity builds to the chorus of big, full chords and dramatic drum beat. A bridge section of rap vocals over a heavily reverbed texture of guitar, synth and drums adds contrast before the return of the chorus making a heartfelt song, full of passion and variety, about a relationship break up.
