Tense and intriguing solo violin piece backed by string ensemble. Huge portamento leaps, trills and atonal leanings mix to generate a beautiful but mysterious mood - ambiguous yet soothing, curious yet stable, it's an evocative siren's call full of emotion.

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

Deep and brooding soundscape made up of sub bass tones and synth design elements. Minimalist and airy with a sinister and impending tension.

Meditative track of ethereal synth tones, choral pads and wafts of musical air based on the 417Hz frequency - said to help bring about change and new beginnings in life. Essentially just a slowly evolving soundscape, it has a gentle flow and creates an atmosphere of deep tranquility with slightly haunting dissonance at times, meaning we experience the darker, pensive side as well as the transgression to more comforting resolutions.

The title says 'News', but in truth, it's more than that. It certainly has a current affairs/political theme running through it, with its grand orchestral hits, tension-building ascensions, string ostinato, tremolo, percussive chimes and brass swells, but capturing such a cinematic dynamic opens it up to many other uses where a time-led intensity is required. Think James Bond on a deadline.  

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.

Inventive and raw ambient track. With a metronomical rhythm created from organic and percussive tones enhanced by mechanical sounds, a sense of tonality comes from the minimalist piano adding the slightest of bass feels and harmony. Somber and pensive in atmosphere, with a lulling calmness in amongst the tension, as the title suggests, time ticks on, and the piece reflects a hypnotic and hollow sounding illusion of an ever present constant. Intriguingly captivating for what is essentially a soundscape.

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

A hybrid orchestral instrumental with acoustic guitars, string section and a mysterious feel

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

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.

Soft and intimate soundtrack for emotional uplifting and romantic atmospheres with an epic fantasy touch.

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

Dramatic and powerful track, full of cinematic tension. To start, it's a soft piano creating an ambient, pensive mood, helped by solo cello and violin lines, by the end it's a brooding, dark drama piece backed by metronomic percussion, string shorts and rich brass for a full and dynamic sense of evolving dilemma and unravelling denouement.

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.

Lingering soundscape using rich synth swells like a drawn out pulse and higher pitched elements to enhance the esoteric sonic ambience. Simple, but rhythmically hypnotic and hauntingly mysterious.

Cinematic hybrid track with an ever shifting mood. Starting gently with strings and horns, it gives an impression of mellow reflection which soon turns more sinister with the introduction of bolder brass and timpani. It turns once again, with solo violin making a yearning, mournful appearance over string ostinato before becoming more rock styled through a prominent electric bass line and percussive beat. With the suspense and intensity building, the string melody becomes dominant, spearheading the epic final assault and resulting in a piece that delivers drama, mystery and contrast.

A heart-pounding cinematic action piece with powerful percussion, strings, deep timpani beats and roaring horns

Fast paced cyber synth track with a bubbling 80s undercurrent. A familiar, arpeggiated synth bass theme is built on by background effects, synth chords and a growing drum beat. Intensity builds, only to be cut short and reset for more of the same, generating an industrial, hypnotic mood with a retro backdrop.

Glitchy and ambient future house track, leaning towards chill hop. Its minimalist approach gives it a strong technological feel and a cold, hollow vibe that is much more soundscape than beat driven accompaniment. Very spacious, synth based moods with contrasting high and low accentuations.
