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

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.

A dynamic orchestral theme featuring ethnic percussion, powerful strings and deep timpani strikes

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.

Stirring orchestral trailer for that truly majestic touch. String ostinato, percussive hits, synth risers, deep brass braams, impending epicness ... it all builds nicely into a dramatic theme tailor-made for a glorious outcome. It may be short, but it packs a powerful punch.

Symphonic rock track with a hyped up feel. Very energetic and nervous in feel, you can sense the tension created by dark chord sequences through electric power chords and gripping string marcato. Brooding legato string passages juxtapose the neverending pound of the drums while electric guitars harmonise like a symphony orchestra for a dynamic action piece that starts intense, and just gets stronger. Mysterious and unrelenting.

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

Ghostly goings-on, devilish delights and frolicking phantoms reign in this playful track. Is there an eerie theremin? Of course there is. Is there a toy piano? Of course. Pizzicato strings? Yep. Plodding brass bass line? Sure. Cackling spectres in the background? Don't mind if I do. Hard house rave beat? Don't be ridiculous, that really wouldn't help - we're going for spooky 'what's creeping up on me' with this track and you won't be disappointed. Unless they see you from the shadows.

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

High energy horror with a powerful Hollywood sound. An edgy orchestral track featuring manic, fast paced violins and brass stabs, complemented by whirling woodwinds. Unsettling in its build up, it cuts to a pause in order to regenerate the mood once again with the nervous strings, adding a stronger, disorienting off-beat feel. Lots of foreboding tension, especially helped by a constant military snare, and an overall sinister mood make this perfect for dramatic action scenes with a darker ambience.

Intense and terrifying cinematic theme, with creepy pads and synths, pulsating percussion and a sinister atmosphere. Creating a disturbing intensity with aggressive sirens and impacts, they give way to a softer, more psychological tension of synth melody and dark textures in this steady paced, truly atmospheric soundscape full of background subtlety and effects.

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.

A driving, funk jazz track. All the classic ingredients are on show: wah wah guitar, steady keyboard chords, stabbing brass section, silky strings, expansive percussion....but the real funk drive comes from the bouncing bass line giving the piece its identity right from the start so you're in no doubt what's coming, and it doesn't disappoint. A real lively slice of retro funk with exquisite attention to detail that's as cool as it is authentic.

Industrial techno track. Very lively and beat driven, without being overly aggressive, the hits and impacts are enhanced by synth phrases and distorted electric guitar riffs, intended to create an overall landscape of power, industry and energy rather than a memorable melody. Unrelenting and tense dark electro.

Ambient tension builder and countdown, with a very time-based, percussive feel. Lightweight and unobtrusive, yet intense enough to generate a feeling of time pressure, it uses a clicking beat, digital style arpeggio background, a repeated xylophone motif and a soft pad to create a short theme perfect for news themes, audio logos and quiz countdowns.

Adventurous electronic music with orchestral elements that builds up with dubstep elements

Slow burning trailer epic capturing all the tension and drama of a high end action blockbuster. Cinematic piano, drones and pulses lay a deeply atmospheric foundation for the string ostinato, big brass and electric guitar to swarm all over, steadily building in a wave of suspense and intrigue to a thrilling and energetic, all out action theme.

A really peaceful and gentle acoustic track - ambient and cinematic with a brightness and calm that sits a little strangely with its Western themed roots. Not that it doesn't work, it's a great take on the atmosphere, with arpeggiated acoustic guitar, whistled melody and lush strings all mingling to capture the mood of solitude, reflection ... and weary horses outside the saloon.

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.

Ethereal light orchestral piece for strings, piano and harp. Starting with a magical, fantasy feel through high legato strings and fast harp, it soon turns to a more mystical orchestration, melancholic cello becoming more prominent, and introducing a stately motif - something that is boldly developed into a majestic statement as the flow of the music unwinds. Peaceful and steady, while maintaining the grandeur and wonder of an unknown infinite universe, it's a gentle study of questions without answers.
