Marimba instrumental music inspired by Thomas Newman’s soundtrack for ‘American Beauty’. Quirky, positive, fun and light.

Gothic orchestral romance at its fullest and darkest. Deep, rich tones from the legato strings, playful glockenspiel motifs and elegant, metronomic piano themes melt together in a swirling pot of mystery and suspense. Timpani hits and string shorts add drama, harp glissandi adds sparkle, chordal modulations add intrigue - and a final solo violin and piano section adds a touch of tragedy to complete the story. Deeply passionate and compelling.

A quirky, mischievous theme featuring bells, glockenspiel and playful ethnic percussion

Ambient, reverb-soaked electronic track. Synth based, a constantly shifting time signature creates instability and suspense

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.

Hollow and desperate piano instrumental, epitomising loneliness and helplessness. Slow, methodical piano meanders throughout, searching for a theme, enhanced by electro sound design elements that reinforce the sound of empty space. Not a piece that's going to brighten your day, unless you've been searching for the perfect accompaniment to your solitude and loss of hope.

Dynamic solo drum beats. Energetic and a little bit funny.

Modern classical piece for strings. A contrasting track in mood and performance, with feelings of uplifting flight and adventure mixed with off beat accents and juxtaposed rhythms for a deliberate chaos and nervousness. A vast range of dynamics and playing styles - dissonance, pizzicato, legato, marcato, shorts, trills etc - add to its hectic nature yet it remains cohesive and themed throughout.

Slightly mysterious retro rock theme. Acoustic guitar and female oohs feature over a solid drum beat before brass enters for a South American feel and a searing synth lead takes over. Part psychedelia, part spaghetti Western, it's a downbeat track with melancholic vibes.

Lively, fun and positive orchestral track with an uplifting melody

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.

Adrenalin fuelled cinematic track. A rhythmically charged intro of unison piano and string shorts flourishes into a gothic fantasy dance with subtly macabre overtones, featuring choral melodies and later, epic brass. Impacts and percussion drive the piece forward in a swirl of dramatic emotion, rising again through a key change to its conclusion. Darkly romantic with a playful vibe, it is an energetic, all action piece with a grandiose flair.

Deep bass electronic track mixing modern urban beats with middle eastern influences.

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.........

Recklessly, this harmless melody develops into full grown dubstep drop, describing an action-packed and epic world.

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

The 528 Hertz solfeggio frequency is also known as the frequency of health and longevity. And this is quite a long 8 minutes of haunting, penetrating, meditational soundscape. Like a swirling wind of synthesized tones seeping through your ears, it is both sonically immersive and spiritually engrossing, evolving slowly with minimal movement to give time to fully absorb the sensory effects given off.

This short, semi-comedic track describes the change of mind from bored to enthusiastic. Featuring brass, piano and contrabass.

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.

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