Ambient cowboys and cinematic moods - it's a slow, brooding track of tense atmosphere with a strong Western theme and no strict tempo. Deep, resonant pads lay the base with a soulful, sparse and highly reverbed electric guitar lead freely meandering over the top.

A dark and cinematic prog-rock theme, with a classic old school feel. Starting simply with repeated single guitar notes, an acoustic guitar melody builds the tension towards the entry of the sparse and spacious drum beat and booming bass line. Just a simple theme, but a gritty, mysterious and brooding theme with a hint of Americana and Westerns, successfully accomplished in 40 seconds.

A dark and moody hybrid track with a mix of brooding doom and stoic heroism. Throwing the full power of the orchestra over a backdrop of synth pulses, it builds steadily and solidly into a rich soundscape of percussive hits, string ostinato and legato brass evoking a foreboding power, with an uncertain sinister edge that can also be interpreted as a fierce determination.

Gritty atmospheric track. More soundscape than melody, it marries acoustic and synth sounds for a hybrid track reflecting tension, intrigue and dark suspense. Starting with a raw, biting cello and metronomic percussion, tension is introduced through high strings, background chorals and synth textures to create an unsettling, eerie vibe, eventually breaking into a fuller beat without letting up on the chills. Mean and moody.

Orchestral hybrid track with a strong aggressive streak. Starting with soft strings and underlying textures, the mood turns harder as industrial percussion kicks in, creating a chaotic fusion between jagged strings and harsh brass runs. Ominous, highly charged and tense.

Tense orchestral track. Unsettling offbeats and ominous descending themes, mixed with fast, jagged strings, create a world of swirling intensity that cycles round, only momentarily pausing at times to rebuild again. Supported by a backbeat of percussive hits and interjecting brass stabs, it has high energy and movement with a strong gothic, epic feel.

Calmly paced orchestral track featuring metronomic piano. Using muted strings and tremolo articulations to generate tension and intensity, the pulsing regularity of the simple piano theme plays with the long, sweeping violin and cello lines to generate a beautiful elegance, evoking drama, suspense and a sense of regret. Cinematically stylish and full of heartfelt emotion.

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.  

Dark and moody piano instrumental, created as a perfect tension builder with electro splatterings and shimmering overtones. Plenty of sound design elements and creeping pulses add interest and drive to generate the brooding ambient soundscape, without losing its main core of fragile, haunting pianowork that binds it all together. Gentle and mysterious with an underlying sinister feel.

Powerful trailer-like hits climax into a rockish beat with electronic guitars

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.

An epic thriller theme with electrifying orchestral strings and heart pounding percussion

Fast moving orchestral string track. Traditional pizzicato, Bartok pizzicato, tremolo, marcato shorts and legato passages all add to the ever changing dynamic landscape of the piece for a sumptuous and playful vibe that's free flowing and energetic. Rhythmically adventurous due to tempo changes, fast staccatto passages and smooth, contrasting themes, you never truly settle and find yourself swallowed by a piece full of suspense, edginess and nervous energy.  

Action/fantasy hybrid orchestral track. Fast, skittish passages contrast with sweeping legato for a dynamic and fast moving feel, further helped by a dramatic percussive beat. Highly charged and tense throughout, only pausing for breath at the midpoint and the outro, it sets a mysterious, nervous mood full of cinematic suspense.

An intense Hollywood style trailer. Spanning the full orchestra, expect ostinato strings, woodwind flourishes, brass fanfares and epic impacts, combining to give a thrilling rollercoaster ride of adrenaline and blockbuster action. Very heroic, a little bit menacing and not at all shy - it's in your face, balls out exhilaration.

Full-on orchestral action theme in four sections. Taking no prisoners from the start, fast paced string ostinato and fanfare brass set the tone over cinematic percussion hits. After keeping the same themes but slightly dropping the intensity for the second section, the mood changes to a calmer mysterious feeling in order to build to the returning climax. Powerful, epic and dramatic with a constant rhythmically animated intensity.

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.

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.

Powerful, dark and ambient track with themes of despair and impending doom, featuring eerie pads and synths. No beat, no impacts, just a synth created soundscape to put you on the edge of darkness. Shimmering and unsettling, with a rich sense of wonder.
