A dark orchestral epic theme with increasing intensity and a soft finale

Epic trailer music. Very epic. Starting calmly with synth pulses and atmospheric tension, it builds through powerful strings and percussive hits to become something else altogether grander. Add in the searing brass a choir and you're hitting next level drama. Melodic and powerful with a hybrid undertone throughout, it's a great example of fantastical action music.

This suspenseful atmospheric soundtrack features a heart-beat and evolving states of a wicked mind.

Powerful action hybrid track, featuring orchestral, synth and rock elements. Building on a chaotic, percussive start with string shorts and synth motifs, the main themes start to develop and take shape as electric guitar and brass figure more prominently, all leading towards the final hard rock section, with a driving drum beat, timpani hits, chugging orchestration and distorted guitar. Full of intensity and drama with a cinematic sheen.

Starting harsh this soundtrack developes into a sentimental atmospheres with female vocals.

Powerful orchestral hybrid mix of action and suspense. A driving beat and electric guitar power chords get the full, dramatic orchestra treatment to create a rich sounding cinematic theme. Sweeping legato strings and stabbing brass create the main melodies, with a menacing progression that regularly levels up on the intensity through key modulations. Energetic, confrontational and tense.

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.

Orchestral (hybrid) track, featuring piano, strings, brass and FX. A lulling, yet dissonant piano theme takes centre stage, accompanied by legato violins and various chilling percussive effects to a sharp climax, before returning to the more sedate, yet unsettling motif. Edgy and intense, with an unresolved ending.  

Gloriously dramatic orchestral theme. Based around a dark string ostinato theme, and incorporating deep brass and cinematic percussion to beef it up, it captures a mood of tension and slowly building intensity, augmented by a final key change as the climax draws near. Rhythmically steady yet repetitively fast paced, it captures an energy and vibe that can be applied to numerous projects requiring a sense of urgency and action.

Downtempo post-rock track with a cinematic/TV feel. Gently building tension through layering themes, starting with simple piano and adding textures, bass, drums and electric guitar, it never gets overly dramatic, instead choosing a subtler psychological intensity to evoke its message of cool, calculated and deliberate determination.

An epic suspense-building orchestral track with a powerful string section and deep, percussive timpani strikes

Imperial sounding orchestral epic. Fanfare brass, snare drum and crashing gongs give a military feel, the strings adding a further cinematic depth to the piece with fast runs and ostinato passages. A touch of fantasy is brought in by the harp in an otherwise scene-setting track of determined grandeur and combative qualities, mixing calmer reflection with aggression.

Futuristic, synth heavy trap instrumental. A familiar trap style beat, a simplistic theme, but given the epic treatment with fat synth tones and shovels of grit in the bass. Lots of variation in the lead sounds gives it an ever changing dynamism as it builds from thin, high pitched intro to the full, rich wall of sound body. Something dark and a little different here.

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.

A mysterious, scary ambient orchestral track with a strings section crescendo, celeste fills and haunting female chorals

Dark orchestral hybrid track. Not even a tribute to a familiar 007 theme, this holds its own as a gritty, passionate piece featuring well crafted popular elements of cinematic music: string ostinato, deep brass and pumping rhythms. Brooding, rich and dramatic, if crime was a turbulent love story, this would be its theme.

Electronic horror-themed track with arpeggiated keyboard, underlying light trap beat and synth pulses

A modern hip hop beat to be used selectively. Effectively in 4 sections, with everything showcased in the final part, it's dark, moody and atmospheric while retaining an urban vibe through the beat. Deep synth bass, and a simple keyboard melody soaked in reverb form the main bed but the added touches of guitar and synth strings with an old school wavering tape effect give it a mysterious and retro feel. Chilled, curious and almost haunting.

Epic symphonic track. Packed with action, intensity and a strong battle feel, it uses string ostinato and lots of snare percussion to generate a dramatic and, at times, chaotic ambience. Split into 2 halves to allow for a dynamic change and subsequent build up, the heroic brass adds tension thoughout under the screaming violins and relentless basses. Tense, bold and soaked in impending doom.
