Lively, fun and positive orchestral track with an uplifting melody

A short track telling of a sudden change of sorrow with piano, strings and percussion

Sometimes it's the innocent simplicity that hides the darkest terrors. With a menacing detuned piano theme penetrating your brain over a backdrop of atmospheric vinyl crackle, string swarms and percussive metal hits, this horror trailer track has the brooding sense of witnessing something you really don't want to see. Very dark, very atmospheric, and very horror.

A short, spooky horror theme with a vintage, lo-fi feel to evoke those darkest of unwanted memories from times best forgotten. Hollow and brittle, but hypnotically repetitive, there are small subtleties to lift it - detuned instruments, dropouts, jagged string stabs and pizzicato - with a near constant deep brooding bass to rumble your bones. An edgy and mysterious, fast moving track that works great as a tension builder or scene setter.

A playful and curious orchestral theme with tribal African percussion and orchestral string pizzicato hits

Industrial background track. Heavily synth based with a hard driving beat, it also has a digital, tech feel as well as the overall urban soundscape it creates. With no lead line to rely on, the main atmosphere comes from a deep, rolling bass powered by the pounding drums and enhanced by varied synth textures, from fast arpeggios to warped single note lines to thick organ chords. Slightly dark and gritty, with a relentless feel of industrial progress.

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

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.........

Soothing but mysterious orchestral track. Arpeggiated piano and strings start classically, but a theremin lead takes things to an unexpected level of mystical contrast. Elegance and majesty is constant due to the warm orchestration throughout, with a deliberate unease and suspense created by the unusual instrumentation and melodies.  

Skittish Dixieland jazz track, featuring all the usual players and a lead xylophone. A swinging drumbeat, bouncing double bass line, accentuated offbeat piano rhythms, solid brass ensemble - it's all here with an animated melody and really playful feel that perfectly enhances upbeat comedy and cartoon scenes.  

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 instrumental electro sci fi track with a familiar 80s style. Vintage arpeggiated lead and bass synth tones move us forward, backed by a rich electro beat and enhanced by percussive and tonal effects. A delicious grit in the pulsing bass and an ethereal quality to the choir and organ give a contrasting texture to this other-worldly piece of retro-future music, mysterious and transcending in equal measure.

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.

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

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

639 Hz - a frequency filled with love, radiance, and positive energy. It's the frequency of the heart, but don't expect James Blunt style whinings. This is a meditation soundscape designed to go much deeper, whistling straight into your inner core with haunting tones and evolving sound design. As useful for cinematic ambience as it is for spiritual energising, it's said to help you build harmonious relationships with others. Might work better than a mix tape of 80's love ballads.

Dark, ominous, electronic theme, with an industrial vibe and a foreboding atmosphere. Starting steadily with a simple rock beat as its grounding, overlaid synth pads and textures start to weave dynamic layers of gritty ambience, from crunchy leads to arpeggiated flutters, as the intensity builds. Mysterious and futuristic, but retaining a classic synth wave feel.

Unsettling soundscape of distorted bass swells, clean guitar and textures. An underlying percussive rhythm section attempts to ground the piece in a lounge jazz style, but is never allowed to dominate due to the interjecting effects - some natural, some synthesized. A tense and exploratory piece with dark overtones.

Dark and suspenseful ambient track with piano and electronic elements

A downbeat suspense theme. Brushed drums and a falling piano sequence create a sense of longing, added strings and pads help to build the intensity. Solo cello subtly creates extra melancholy and nostalgia.
