Exotic and exciting cinematic track with elements and influence from eastern music

A dark and brooding track of epic, cinematic menace. Mixing the deep tones of beating synths with the power of orchestral brass for a slow burning theme, the creeping doom draws closer with ever growing layers of strings and driving rhythms. A dramatic tension builder with something lurking in the shadows.

Horror soundscape theme. What starts as an atmospheric horror build up of risers, metal hits, orchestral swarms and harmonics, harp glissandi and random percussive elements finally breaks into a short, off-beat orchestral string theme. Diabolically dramatic with no sense of tempo but a strong sense of tension, it's a track to catch you off guard and keep you guessing.

Rhythmically and musically diverse orchestral piece. Interesting to the point of experimentation due to the dissonances and jerky rhythms, it is inherently a classically inspired composition with 20th Century music influences. A sense of the bizarre mixed with battle drum percussion, you have fast, chaotic woodwinds interjecting with off beat brass stabs and a prominent choir echoing and mirroring the main themes. A strong military feel, with a mix of gothic darkness and mischeivous endeavour in a cinematic package.

Trippy, dissonant mindscrew spanning the full stereo spectrum to leave your ears wondering what goes where. Simple, repeated piano motifs get layered with sub bass, sound design elements and rhythmic pulses to destabilise and agitate the natural flow of things, whilst somehow managing to stay coherent, albeit in a creepy, foreboding way. An unusual soft soundscape with momentum and tension.

Rich, brooding soundscape of ambient guitar, strings and drones. Deeply atmospheric and haunting, with a serene calmness, it floats effortlessly through the mind, gradually building in intensity as the lows slowly but surely swallow it up. An ethereal aural treat.

Spooky, skeletal track with a captivating atmosphere. Stripped to the bare bones, it's quite minimal, but uses the space to great effect, allowing the darkness to weave through the gaps. All the creepiest instruments are there: music box, glockenspiel, echoing percussion ... all leading and accompanying the playful strings, ghostly piano, lurking bassoon and carnival accordion for an unnerving experience of delicate, haunting beauty. Chills.

Contemporary orchestral piece with a cartoonish side. You know when you wake up, and everything seems OK until you look at the clock? Panic sets in as you hurry to catch up, with too much to do in not enough time. Here it is in musical form - bright, spritely passages followed by startling realisation and fast paced xylophone and string runs, all mixed up with a sense of urgency in a dramatic and dynamic composition featuring the whole orchestra.

Fantasy adventure track. Using the complete orchestra to generate an organised chaos, this fast paced piece features themes from all directions - string runs, woodwind answering phrases, brass interjections and relentless percussion all combining to create a circus of sounds with a hint of the macabre. A whirlwind of symphonic fantasy.

This narrative hip hop tune conveys groovy and easygoing feelings

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.

A mellow rock song bookended by arpeggiated acoustic guitar- Radiohead meets The Beatles. Intimate vocals mix with playful electronica, slide guitar, groove bass and drums for a light track with heavy substance. Downbeat and chilled, slightly eclectic, it's mysteriously thoughtful in mood.

An eclectic downtempo electronic instrumental with rich analog synths, plucked bass lines and mallet leads

Ironically this song describes the decay of everything without falling into despair. Featuring piano and electronic dubstep.

Peculiar crossover Pop-Dance-Electro with many melodies and sections. A kind of space journey, energetic but not loud. Futuristic synth pop. An industrial start breaks into a more conventional cyber tune of sweeping synth and strong rhythm, punctuated by diverse synth themes. It may be mid-paced, but doesn't lack energy and movement, enhanced by glitches and stutter beats for an adventurous vibe of discovery and constant momentum.

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.

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.

Dark, enchanted orchestral theme. Slightly exotic melodies and off beat rhythms create unease and a sense of the bizarre, all to a backdrop of tribal percussion. Choral wails and brass stabs interrupt the flow to further unsettle things and fast string themes impose the aggression in this mid tempo piece of symphonic tension. Dynamic in rhythm, instrumentation and mood, with a sinister overall edge.

Short, pulsing drone theme to conjure up dark and foreboding terrors - a dark, ambient soundscape built of layered synth textures and sprinkled with atmospheric, tension building effects.

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.
