This soft but uplifting piano pattern is perfect for corporate and inspiring purposes.

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

Beautifully soft ambient piano with a real intimacy. Its power comes from its simplicity in gently weaving from chord to chord with unhurried elegance, minimalistically enhanced by the subtlest of pads and textures as if to reflect a serene shimmering of light seeping into your mind. Calm, soothing and touching with both an uplifting side and a mournful side.

A soft, lilting orchestral track. Shades of mystery and discovery are evoked by the dark, mellow ethnic flute backed up by whistful, melancholic cello and oboe leads. A good underlying movement is created by soft percussion, string shorts and rolling arpeggiated piano as well as the phrasing of the music to create a piece of magical serenity, wonder and reassurance.    

Soft and nostalgic piano based piece. Classically influenced, with a cinematic touch, it uses repeated broken piano chords for movement, adding strings for depth and hints of acoustic guitar for tonal variety. Heartwarming and touching, it maintains its poise and elegance throughout, creating a sense of romanticism, reflection and optimism.

Retro lo-fi hip hop with a sense of smooth lounge jazz influence. All those vintage keyboard tones hark back to old school times, evoking chilled evenings and carefree relaxation, over a thin backbeat and rich kick. Calming, confident and laid back.

Positive and carefree acoustic music featuring finger-picked acoustic guitars, accordion, glockenspiel and double bass

Calm ambient guitar track. Heavily reverbed and delayed clean electric guitar laments over a soft bed of synth pads, bass and gently pushing kick drum and percussion while textures build tension all around. Lo-fi effects add an introspective feel, aided by the cinematically arthouse stylings for a track that is full of wonder and soothing tranquility.

Lo fi hip hop with a real vintage vibe. Imagine listening to the orchestral strings from a 1940s film soundtrack through the horn speaker of an old record player, add a heavily warped, unrecognisable vocal sample and fill out with simple synth chords and deep beat. That's what you get with this track - a chilled background track with late night vibes and flashbacks of yesteryear.

A gentle keyboard ballad, featuring glistening piano and acoustic guitar. Set over a light drum beat and airy pads, a soothing, shimmering piano lead converses with a warm guitar melody for an easy listening tale of uplifiting romance, positivity and optimism. Clean, calming and simple with a rich glow.

A light acoustic track with ghostly theremin synth lead and arpeggiated acoustic guitar. Builds up only slightly through added piano and percussion. A little dark and mysterious in feeling, with hints of optimism.

Wistful orchestral piece for chamber strings. Deliberately slightly ambiguous in rhythm as well as mood, it is at times playful, at times unsettled. With hints of romance and longing through the use of sweeping legato, to carefree pizzicato and eager staccatissimo, it's a diverse piece of 20th century style music showcasing many articulations and emotions, the one constant being it's tenderness throughout.

A melancholic piano and strings ambient track. In a perfect example of 'less is more', what you get is a tragically fragile and delicate piece of cinematic, reverbed piano woven with muted strings and harmonics. Isolation, yearning, loss, sorrow ..... it's dark in feeling but light in texture, expressing vulnerability with perhaps the slightest hint of optimism. Moody stuff indeed.

Ambient chillhop track, fusing trip hop, lo-fi hip hop and chillout in a meandering, timeless track that effortlessly weaves through the atmosphere, filling the space where your concentration used to be. A proper daydreamer of a track, it could, conversely, be capable of focusing the mind for study or those vital accounting details that need to be submitted tomorrow. Who knows, I'm lost in the clouds.

A intimate piano telling a short emotional but uplifting story

A gentle yet powerful aural representation of calm expanse. Lilting piano and smooth strings meander through the space backed by darker underlying sonic textures, creating an ambiguous mood - somewhere between mesmerisingly tranquil and ominously infinite. Not long, but just enough to act as a builder thanks to it's smooth riser and epic, ethereal tonal qualities.

A soft, melancholic acoustic track, featuring guitar, piano and strings. Opening with arpeggiated guitar accompanying a simple, yearning melody, the piece plays on the theme as it builds with piano and eventually the legato strings to solidify the overall ambience of regret. Bittersweet in its mood, with lots of question/answer phrasing, the piece is a thoughtful study of a traumatised mind.

Deeply atmospheric, ambient track. Soaked in reverb for a spacey and dreamlike feel, it features clean electric guitar melodies and broken chords over synth pads and piano. A light percussive rhythm lends a fluidity and forward movement and helps build a slight intensity, creating a change in dynamics and feeding the listener a vibe of wonder and mysticism. Cinematic and very, very pensive.

Lush, ambient soundscape to leave you feeling like you're floating on a cloud of angel dust. Rich synth pads, cinematic piano, and most of all, the gentle lulling of the female vocals will suck you into a dreamlike state, lifting you ever higher to a spiritual nirvana - safe, comforted and reassured.

Cosy chill trap track with lofi tendances. Atmospheric, verging on sentimental, rich synth pads lay a warm foundation with the deep bass, enhanced by soft keyboard leads and a prominent but well mixed trap beat that drops in and out for dynamic effect. Slow to mid paced, but with enough interest from the leads to drive it forward, it's still a relatively calm background piece with a pensive and optimistic flavour.
