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

This ambient hip hop track describes a stressed atmosphere in narrative and authentic way.

If you like your epic orchestral tracks with a heavy dose of sound design, this is the one. With all the usual cinematic tricks of string ostinato, huge brass lines and strong rhythmic accentuation, this adds an evident electro synth element right at the front. Sweepers, drops and pulses abound, it maintains its hybrid style for a relentless adrenalin fuelled attack of drama, tension and grandiose intrigue.

Relentlessly marching forward like a futuristic army of committed androids, this hybrid track creates that militant backdrop of sinister suspense, juxtaposed with a subtle angelic command hovering above. More of an imposing action vibe than a melodic theme, it has a confrontational and impending feel about it in a traditionally cinematic style, adding synth elements to blend with an industrial, technological future.

Edgy orchestral track. Starting with a fast moving string theme and percussion, deep chimes ring in the ominous dread approaching. Building in intensity, and dropping out, become able suspense techniques throughout, as does contrasting the doom with light playful passages on strings, woodwinds or xylophone. Slurred legato violins apply textured expression and rich brass adds an aggressive feel to create a dramatic, mysterious and epic composition.

Awaiting The Unstoppable is as dramatic and epic as it gets. A powerful, but lonely voice is answered by a melodic choir.

Stylish take on a trap beat. Featuring a classic hip hop/trap beat, the instrumentation gives a more cinematic feel, with ambient, reverbed piano themes and orchestral string backing. It is the synth lead however that is the most prominent, as it interplays with the deep bass, chord stabs and vocal samples to create a mysterious sounding track, fresh and intriguing with a sense of curiosity.

Atmospheric and rhythmic pop rock. Using a melodic piano theme as the central hook, and continuously enhancing it with percussion, bass, electric guitars and synth pads, the piece builds in intensity and energy to create a dramatic mid-tempo background track that captures a spirit of determination, motivation and suspense, contrasting a slightly dark, cinematic side with a more heroic one.

An absolute curiosity of a track. The minimalist beat is cool, diverse and easily relatable. And then there's the rest. Super chilled upright double bass plucks out the laziest of melodies, soon joined by a simple, melancholic acoustic guitar line and the vocal warblings of the world's only Arabic gospel singer. Very relaxed, totally innovative and definitely standout, I can't help but get Mexican funeral vibes with a neo jazz twist. But that's doesn't tell even half the story ....

Hybrid orchestral track with a dark and melancholic feeling. The texture evolves, becoming more dense at the end.

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.

Futuristic ambient soundscape. Perfect as background music in science fiction movies, games and videos thanks to its digital sense of expanse and meandering openness, it's built on haunting synth tones and interjecting glitch effects and textures. No real rhythmic feel, just a dark and mysterious vibe with a hint of suspense.

Heroic, cinematic and dramatic orchestral music. Mysterious & suspenseful symphonic trailer music building to intense climax.

From a heavy suspense feeling featuring cello and synths it builds up into an epic, heroic ending.

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.

741 Hz Solfeggio frequency is used for solving problems and awakening intuition in meditation. This light, sparkling soundscape is more delicate at this frequency, it's gentle, overlapping tones smoothly evolving like slow moving clouds dispersing and reforming in new ways. The occasional zinging synth keeps you alert and in the moment, with a calming backdrop of ever present drones and ethereal sonics to keep you grounded. Fulfilling and wholesome.

A short cinematic piece that inspires curiosity with sinister-sounding glockenspiel bells and atmospheric strings. Great for setting the mood for a mystery or a suspenseful adventure.

Simple but effective tension builder, with just enough dramatic edge to play a perfect supporting role to picture. Swirling background strings, clean reverbed guitar lines and a prominent cello lead all combine over the haunting, repetitive minimalism of the piano resulting in a cinematic voyage of discovery and wonder. Enigmatic and ethereal with a sense of elegance and control.

Aggressive war & taiko drums with a deep sounding horn section create this Lord of the Rings style epic battle song. It's deep, it's dark, and very menacing - with a simple but relentless pounding of the drums accentuated by the bass heavy brass and string motifs. Intense and atmospheric.

A mellow old school hip hop instrumental with a jazzy underground feel. Recreating a great vintage tone harking back to the 70s, you still feel the modern production edge in a clean cut track of retro groove. Upright bass, horns, synth textures and a driving rhythm all keep the laid back energy moving forward, generating a mysterious and curious vibe with more than a hint of tension.
